YOU’VE GOT MALES
Culprit: Russell Crowe
Couple: Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid
How it went down: The A-list pair met on the set of
Proof of Life in 2000 and quickly began a torrid affair. But when she called off her 10-year marriage with Dennis Quaid, Ryan blamed it on her inability to balance a relationship with a hectic work schedule—not on her affair with Crowe.
Relationship fate: Crowe wanted to marry Ryan and have children, but the feeling wasn’t mutual. “I empowered myself by not staying in the thing with Russell,” she said after breaking things off after only a few months. “I felt it was going to be repeating some similar patterns that I'd just gotten out of and it was a drag because I was crazy about him.”
