Did tom welling have an affair with leighton meester?

Answer 1

Supposedly, Welling was served divorce papers in Summer of 2011, because of an affair with Leighton Meester during the filming of Ben Affleck's film, A Dog's Ransom.

The problem with that rumor is: It's now summer 2012 and Welling still hasn't received divorce papers and the film fell apart and never went into production.

So, no, Welling did not have an affair with Meester.

The rumor began with Lionsgate and then lost it's legs as soon as the movie collapsed. So the rumor was likely an attempt by someone at Lionsgate to get people talking and interested in the film.

Often rumors spread about co stars of film or TV as they are in production and it's very likely the public is merely getting played by studios as it seems Lionsgate was starting to do with the Welling/Meester rumor.
