[post_page_title]Completely infatuated[/post_page_title]
Of course, while the marriage might not have ended because of Russell, that didn’t mean Meg wasn’t crazy about him. According to People in 2001, the actress was “infatuated” with her former co-star. It was around the time that she and Dennis announced their separation that she apparently felt this way.
If that were the case, it would certainly explain why she and Crowe were quick to enter into a relationship. Ryan didn’t need time to develop feelings for the actor because she’d already fallen for him. If only their love had lasted.
