American actress Meg Ryan, of such romantic comedies as Sleepless In Seattle and You’ve Got Mail, has a thing for the Aussie male.

She is reportedly in a new relationship with former Nip/Tuck star Julian McMahon. McMahon, 41, is the son of a former Australian prime minister, the late Sir Billy McMahon. His mother, Lady Sonia, is a super glamorous blonde Sydney socialite.

Ryan, 48, was once linked to Russell Crowe while she was still married to actor Dennis Quaid.

An Australian women’s weekly featured photos of Ryan and McMahon having long, cosy dinners and holding hands in Los Angeles. McMahon is two-times divorced and has a steady girlfriend, Kelly Paniagua who was seen travelling in Australia with him in August.
