BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WTHR) — Actress Meg Ryan and rockstar John Mellencamp have called it a quits just a year after getting engaged.
People reported that the 'You've Got Mail" actress was spotted recently at the Governos Awards without her engagement ring.
People confirmed the couple's split.
A source told People that Mellencamp didn't want to get married again.
“He loves her, but marriage never seemed to be a part of it,” the source said. “It’s unclear how important a marriage was to Meg. But they spent a lot of time together and it’s too bad they split. They really got along so well together.”
The couple started dating in 2011 after Mellencamp's 18-year marriage to model ELain Irwin ended. Ryan and Mellencamp called it quits in August 2014 but then announced in November 2018 that they were engaged.
Mellencamp has five kids and Ryan has two. He's been married three times before while she's been married once to actor Dennis Quaid.
