Even though Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan remained friends, they both went on to have new, more successful relationships with other people. Ryan began dating John Mellencamp on and off, and even became engaged to him for a short time. However, in 2019, Ryan reportedly ended things after eight years together. As a source told Us Weekly, "She'd had enough and ended [their engagement]."
As for Crowe, he went on to marry singer Danielle Spencer in 2003. However, the pair split in 2012, and finalized their divorce in 2017. In 2018, Crowe even held an infamous auction called "The Art of Divorce" (via The New York Times).
In 2020, rumors began to circulate about Ryan and Crowe rekindling their romance with one source claiming, as New Idea reported, "They had this white-hot relationship, but the timing was terrible." The source added, "She's given up on things working out with John and would love nothing more than to give things with Russell another try." Of course, these rumors are yet to be confirmed. But one thing is certain — Ryan and Crowe did have a special connection at the time and will probably be friends for life.
