Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are really taking that “married under the eyes of God” thing seriously.

During an episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Ryder revealed that she and her former costar still text regularly and “we always say who it is, even though it says it on the text.”

“So like on his birthday I go, ‘Happy birthday, my husband’ and then he’s like, ‘Hey, my wife, I love you KR 57,’” Ryder said. “Like on each birthday he’s like KR 57 or whatever his age is. He’s always done that.”

The pair costarred in the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola directed drama “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” in which their characters had a wedding scene.

In a 2018 interview to promote their rom-com “Destination Wedding,” Ryder said she believed she and Reeves had actually wed.

“In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest,” she explained. “We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we’re married.”
