Last week a rep for the 59-year-old rocker said he and his wife of 20 years, model Elaine Mellencamp, were over.
The Mellencamps “are proud of their 20 years together and are very happy with their accomplishments both as parents and as a family,” he said.
Now reports are surfacing that Mellencamp may have taken up with “Sleepless in Seattle” star Meg Ryan.
The pair was photographed arm-in-arm walking in New York City in late October, and a source told the New York Post that “Meg has been to a couple of recent shows.”
The Post said that Mellencamp’s rep had no comment on the alleged relationship, and Ryan’s did not return their calls or e-mails.
Mellencamp has been working on a musical, “Ghost Brothers of Darkling County,” and Ryan was may have been involved with that project, the Post reported.
Meg’s marriage to Dennis Quaid ended in 2000 after nine years of marriage. Meg admittedly had an affair with Russell Crowe during the filming of Proof of Life. After her divorce from Dennis – it was reported that Dennis had been unfaithful for years.
She was lookin pretty sketchy there for a while, but she showed up at Cannes looking cute as a button! Here she is at a photocall for “Countdown To Zero” during the 63rd Annual Cannes Film Festival.
Meg Ryan has officially entered The First Wives Club chapter of her career. One year after starring as a spurned wife in the disappointing remake of The Women, she’s the lead in Serious Moonlight, opposite Timothy Hutton, Kristen Bell, and Justin Long. Hutton plays her cheating husband, and when she discovers his affair with Bell, she ties him to the toilet until he falls back in love with her.
Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton starred in similar roles in French Kiss – the best Meg Ryan movie EVER.
