No one could really tell if Keaton was trying to prove a point or just get a rise out of his dad and Beatrix.

Right there in front of everyone, Keaton grabbed his phone and updated his profile bio.

He added a new line to the end:

"Proudly anti-marriage. If I ever get hitched, may I eat my own words."
