The Truth About John Mellencamp And Meg Ryan's Relationship

John Mellencamp was not yet divorced from his third wife when he met Meg Ryan; she of the sweet romcom films like "When Harry Met Sally," "You've Got Mail," and "Sleepless in Seattle” (via IMDb). 

The problem was that he was living in his native Indiana at the time and she was living in New York. They conducted much of their romance long distance, but were still spotted by the paparazzi in places like New York, Martha's Vineyard, and Pennsylvania, according to Closer Weekly. Sadly, the pair split in 2014, reunited later that year, and split again in 2015.

"I don't think he loved all the attention he got just from dating an actress," a source told Closer Weekly at the time. "I bet he'll stay away from dating another famous person for a while." Well, that friend was not correct because when Mellencamp was seen dating again, it was with model Christie Brinkley. That romance didn't last long, however, and by 2017, Ryan and Mellencamp were together again.
