MEG RYAN: TO FLIP OR NOT TO FLIP?

Meg Ryan wanted her last split with John Mellencamp in November to be absolutely final, so in February she left New York and bought a house in Montecito, California, not far from Prince Harry and Meghan. Like Cameron Diaz, Meg has pretty much dropped out of Hollywood and she’s concentrating on flipping properties like Diane Keaton. She paid over five million for her new 4000 sq ft “farmhouse” because she “fell in love with the view.” She decided it’s also a nice place to isolate during the pandemic. Whether she will re-do the place and sell it, or hang around awhile, remains to be seen…

GEOGRAPHY IS WHAT BROKE UP MEG RYAN AND JOHN MELLENCAMP

Meg Ryan looks like she’s making the best of being single in New York. She and John Mellencamp, 68, just split up for the second time after being engaged for a year. John has implied that Meg wants to get married, but for him, three marriages is enough. We think he gave her the engagement ring to keep her happy for awhile, but never actually intended to wed. Fact is, John really doesn’t want to live in New York where Meg resides. He TRIED to like New York, but he admits he doesn’t want to leave Indiana. Does he realize what a good catch Meg is? She even put up with John’s chainsmoking…

MEG RYAN HAS A SECRET

Meg Ryan may LOOK like she’s turned off by John Mellencamp’s chainsmoking in this photo, but apparently she is NOT. They’ve been together off and on for over seven years and since last November, officially engaged. In all the photos we’ve seen of them together, he is very often smoking. How does she tolerate all that that nicotine? We’ve heard that Meg is a secret smoker herself, but is careful NOT to be photographed.

JOHN AND MEG: WHO NEEDS MARRIAGE?

John Mellencamp, 66, and Meg Ryan, 56, braved a few sprinkles of rain as they strolled arm in arm in Soho today. After a number of bust-ups through the years (during one split John hooked up with Christie Brinkley) John and Meg have both made concessions. She puts up with his smoking and he spends more time in New York. In March, rumors that they were getting married spread when Meg was seen at John’s South Carolina beachfront house prettying the place up. It was NOT wedding preparations, Meg just loves to re-do homes, and John’s place really needed attention. Why WOULD they get married?

MEG RYAN AND JOHN MELLENCAMP: WHY WOULD THEY GET MARRIED?

Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp picked up her daughter Daisy and walked her home from school today. Meg and John got together in 2017 after splitting up several times. Meg didn’t want to live in South Carolina where his home is – she prefers New York. But they’ve been seen together at his home several times lately making preparations for some kind of celebration or party, and neighbors are abuzz. Is it a wedding? We can’t imagine… If only Meg could cure John of that chainsmoking habit…

SURPRISE! MEG RYAN DOESN’T “HATE” JOHN MELLENCAMP!

Living in different states was apparently not enough to keep John Mellencamp and Meg Ryan apart. After 3 years together they split in 2014 and a few months ago John went on the Howard Stern show and talked about it. He admitted he was a lousy boyfriend and had tried to win her back without success. John lamented “I loved Meg Ryan but she hates me to death! She wants nothing to do with me!” Meg was listening and we think she called to say she didn’t “hate him” and one thing led to another….

CHRISTIE BRINKLEY AND HER GENTLEMAN CALLER

John Mellencamp, 64, looks like he couldn’t be happier as he hold hands with Christie Brinkley, 62, after a dinner at Craig’s restaurant. Christie isn’t camera-shy (like John’s ex Meg Ryan) and apparently the two of them get a kick out of being in their 60’s and still considered a paparazzi target. They’ve been together for over 9 months and Christie likes the idea of making John her fifth husband – she’s swept away by his old-school manners.

CHRISTIE BRINKLEY: UPTOWN GIRL HAS A PART-TIME BOYFRIEND

It’s Christie Brinkley’s 62nd birthday and she’s spent it with her geographically undesirable boyfriend John Mellencamp. Despite a divorce and grown-up kids, John, 64, still lives at his 65 acre estate in Bloomington, Indiana, and he vows that he’ll never move – he will “die there.” His last girlfriend Meg Ryan wanted him to move to New York but he says he can’t bear to live there – he’s far “too sensitive.” So he and Meg split. Now he’s got an Uptown Girl and we have a feeling Christie is not interested in moving to Indiana, but she enjoys having a part-time boyfriend.

IS CHRISTIE BRINKLEY ENTHRALLED BY JOHN MELLENCAMP’S HAIR?

143254PCN_Brinkley03(1cut)

This is a classic photo of John Mellencamp’s rock star HAIR on a windy day in New York. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why Christie Brinkley likes him. They get lots of attention as a couple- Christie’s exhusband Billy Joel even joked onstage about his Uptown Girl dating John Mellencamp. John is 63 and Christie is 61, so they are an age appropriate pair. He may be charismatic, but how long can Christie put up with John’s chainsmoking?
