Winona Ryder says she and Keanu Reeves still call each other ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ over text

The pair of longtime friends may have technically tied the knot while filming a marriage sequence for the 1992 film, “Bram Stoker’s Dracula.”

Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves made a vow and they’re sticking to it!

During a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Ryder revealed that she and her Bram Stoker’s Dracula costar still refer to one another as “husband” and “wife” over text after tying the knot in the 1992 film. (And, you know, potentially in real life, too.)

“We do text,” Ryder confirmed. Although, she admitted that the technology-averse pair have a unique way of messaging one another where “we always say who it is, even though it says it on the text.”

To prove her point, Ryder recalled a time when she reached out to congratulate Reeves on his birthday. “I was like, ‘Happy birthday, my husband!’” She said, ending her note by adding her nickname, Noni.

Reeves, she remembered, responded in kind with his own signature sign off. “He’s like, ‘Hey, wife! Love you! KR, 57,” she said. “On each birthday, he’s like, ‘KR, 57,’ or whatever his age is, and he’s always done that. He’s the best.”

While they’ve never actually dated, Ryder previously told Entertainment Weekly that she and Reeves are technically married because a real-life Romanian priest was present for their characters’ wedding in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

“We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to god I think we’re married in real life,” she said in 2018. “In that scene, [director] Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest. We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we’re married.”

When Reeves asked whether or not they actually said yes during the ceremony, Ryder replied, “Don’t you remember that? It was on Valentine’s Day.” Reeves, then, naturally concluded, “Oh my gosh, we’re married.”

In the years since, the pals have reunited on films like 2006’s A Scanner Darkly and 2018’s Destination Wedding.

Watch Ryder reflect on her texting habits with Reeves — and whether or not she’d join him in the John Wick franchise — in the clip above.
