Lawrence told Meyers, to his face, that she used to have a crush on him years ago and was once on the verge of asking him out, because she did not know that he was engaged.
"You probably know this by now because I've told everybody

Lawrence told 41-year-old Meyers, who is expecting his first child with his wife Alexi Ashe, "Thank God I talked to the wardrobe lady and I was like, 'I think I'm going to ask Seth Meyers out. I'm going to give him my number.' She was like, 'Honey, he's engaged.' I was like, 'Cool! Good talk!' Ah!' It was so long ago that now I feel like I could tell you.
