Have you looked into "celebrity worship syndrome"?
Wow, interesting stuff there!
"Individuals that are love obsessional stalkers often convince themselves that they are in fact in a relationship with the subject of their obsession."
"Individuals who suffer from Erotomania tend to believe that the celebrity with whom they are obsessed is utilizing the media as a way to communicate with them by sending special messages or signals."
I had just been reading that same stuff. Wife checks on both of these things. She thinks their relationship is closer than it is and she thinks that he is sending her secret messages via his facebook posts.
