According to recent reports, Eve felt 'sick and furious' at the affair allegations. The French production designer, who has been seen without her wedding ring, is trying to remain as 'dignified' as possible.
She did not know the actress had had a 'teenage crush' on her husband when she had her over for dinner with their children in Los Angeles last December while the two were filming Fargo.
A source told The Sun: 'She is doing her best to handle it with dignity. But what makes it worse is she has been told Mary Elizabeth had a teenage crush on Ewan. I'm sure a lot of people did but they didn't go and have an affair with him.'
They added: 'Mary went to the house once and met Eve and the kids over dinner. She was very cordial. It seemed logical she should get to know Ewan and the family.'
