Let’s talk about love, folks. Specifically, the kind of love that makes you want to grab a box of tissues and a tub of ice cream. John Mellencamp, the legendary singer-songwriter, and Meg Ryan, the beloved actress, have been making headlines for all the right reasons. They're engaged! And if you thought their journey to this point was anything but extraordinary, think again. In a recent interview with Today, John opened up about his fiancée, calling her "the funniest woman I’ve ever met." At 67, John is proving that love doesn’t care about age or expectations.
Engagement Drama: The Inside Scoop
When the news broke that John and Meg, 57, were engaged, fans everywhere went into overdrive. Was this the real deal? After years of a relationship that seemed to have as many twists as a soap opera, people were naturally curious. John admitted he might not be the easiest guy to get along with, but hey, who among us is? Meg, ever the optimist, confirmed the engagement with an Instagram post that left no room for doubt. “ENGAGED!” she wrote, sharing a sweet drawing of the couple.

A Rollercoaster Ride of Love and Distance
Here’s the thing about John and Meg—they’ve been through the wringer. They started dating in 2011, but by 2014, they called it quits. The culprit? Distance. According to sources, it was just too hard to make it work while living far apart. But love often finds a way. In 2017, after John dated Christie Brinkley for a year, he and Meg reconnected. And let me tell you, the rest is history. Fast forward to 2018, and they’re officially engaged. Talk about a fairy tale!
Wedding Plans: Big or Small?
Meg can’t wait to walk down the aisle, and she’s already got a vision in mind. Sources say she’s leaning toward something intimate, nothing too flashy. John, on the other hand, wants to throw a big bash. Compromise is key in any relationship, so they’ve decided to go with a smaller affair but host it at John’s stunning lakefront ranch in Bloomington, Indiana. Picture this: a beautiful day, surrounded by loved ones, with laughter and joy filling the air. It’s going to be magical.

Insiders say the couple’s relationship hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but they’re committed to spending the rest of their lives together. That’s the kind of love that makes you believe in happy endings. They were meant to be, and that’s all there is to it. Aww!

Past Relationships and New Beginnings
For Meg, this will be her second marriage. She was previously married to actor Dennis Quaid for 10 years and shares her 26-year-old son, Jack, with him. As for John, this will be his fourth marriage, bringing with him five children from his previous relationships. But love knows no boundaries, and these two have found a way to blend their lives in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
“John and Meg are a great combination,” said a source close to the couple. “They relate on many levels. John loves her intellect, personality, and sense of humor. Meg is in awe of his talent.” And honestly, who wouldn’t be? These two are a match made in heaven, and we couldn’t be happier for them.
