Felicity cutie dating up a storm with TV love (The Star / 9 February 2000)
Beautiful Felicity star Keri Russell has ditched her longtime boyfriend and is now romancing her hunky co-star Scott Speedman.
Scott, 24, plays heartthrob Ben Covington, the object of Felicity's desire. STAR has now learned they've taken the relationship off the set.
The new twosome spend all day working together, and now they are together on weekends too, enjoying cozy lunches at popular Los Angeles eateries.
A friend of Keri's says she turned to Scott after she broke up with her live-in actor boyfriend Tony Lucca, 24, who appeared with her in the failed TV series Malibu Shores.
"Keri and Tony had been having problems for a while. Tony had trouble with her success, plus she was never home. Often she wouldn't get home until two or three in the morning after a studio party, and that really rankled him."
"It got to the point where they weren't spending any time together at all. So they thought it best to call it quits and he's moved out. Keri was good buddies with Scott before her breakup with Tony, but now it's developed into something more."
"They started doing more and more things together, and they've really hit it off. They sneak away to the movies. They go to lunch and have nice quiet dinners together."
"They were at The Newsroom the other day, chowing down on salads and veggie sandwiches. Keri's a health food nut and so is Scott."
Keri and Scott went public with their romance at the recent Golden Globes award show.
"Keri seemed to lean on him for support throughout the evening," says the friend. "She says she feels comfortable with him, and that she feels like she can trust him."
Scott was last linked with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, his co-star in the big-screen flick Duets.
