Out of the dozen-or-so relationships thatJohn Mellencamphas entered, his romance withMeg Ryanwas by far the most publicized.
But that soon all came crumbling down.
“She lives in New York and he resides in Indiana,” a source toldPeople.
“It was the long distance that ultimately was the cause.”
“I’m too sensitive to live there,” the musician toldRolling Stone.
“I can’t see poor people.
I can’t see the suffering.
“I’m not leaving Indiana.
I’m going to die here,” Mellencamp concluded.
“I think it’s because I’m a child.
I throw fits, I gripe, I complain,” he explained.
“I’m moody.
Every bad thing that a fella can be, that’s me.”
A year later, the couple became engaged.
But that bliss was short-lived, as the pair called off the engagement in 2019.
News, the relationship came to an end because Ryan was “exhausted” with it.
“There were so many ups and downs and it wasn’t healthy,” a source said.
She knows she made the right decision and is happy.”
