Hold onto your hats, folks! It turns out Keanu Reeves might just be a married man—or at least that's what Winona Ryder says! The star of John Wick revealed during an appearance on CBS' The Talk that his longtime friend and co-star has been playfully calling him "husband." According to Keanu, "Every now and then, I'll get a text from her saying, 'Hello, husband.'" Now, that's one inside joke we’d love to be in on!
Let me break it down for you. If you're scratching your head wondering how this all started, here’s the backstory. Back in August 2018, during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Keanu and Winona revealed that they actually "tied the knot" while filming their roles in the 1992 movie Dracula. The director of the film, Francis Ford Coppola, decided to hire a real Romanian priest to perform a wedding scene involving their characters, who were supposed to be engaged. But here's the twist—Winona claims the ceremony was so authentic that they might actually be married in real life. Crazy, right?
When The Talk co-host Carrie Ann Inaba asked Keanu if this whole "marriage" story was true, the 54-year-old actor responded with a playful grin, "That's what Winona says." At first, Keanu wasn't entirely convinced by her claims. "I didn’t really believe her," he admitted. But then, Francis Ford Coppola himself stepped in to confirm the story publicly, explaining that the priest had indeed conducted a full-blown ceremony. "Winona and I got married," Keanu said with a laugh. Can you imagine how that must’ve felt?

Apparently, Keanu wasn't too upset about being crowned "husband." When Carrie asked him directly, "So, it’s real?" Keanu quipped back, "Yeah, it’s awesome." Talk about embracing the unexpected!
Winona was the first to bring up their on-screen wedding in August 2018 when she told Entertainment Weekly that she and Keanu "actually got married in Dracula." But she knew how wild that sounded. "No, I swear to God, I think we're married in real life," she insisted. "We shot the master scene, and the priest did the whole thing. So, I think we're married." Sounds like she's taking this whole husband-and-wife thing pretty seriously!
