In August 2014, after three years of dating, Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp called it quits. Speaking to People, a source confirmed that the couple who lived in different cities struggled to maintain a long-distance relationship. “It was the distance,” the insider said. “She lives in New York and he resides in Indiana. It was the long distance that ultimately was the cause.”
Back in 2013, Mellencamp, an Indiana native opened up about the solitary home life he led in Bloomington after his youngest kids went off to college. But while moving to New York to be with Ryan might have been a viable solution, Mellencamp told Rolling Stone he would rather not. “I’m too sensitive to live here. I can’t see poor people. I can’t see suffering. I can’t see the trash on the streets,” he admitted. Environmental factors were however not the only thing that kept Mellencamp away from the Big Apple. Another major reason? The never-ending world of paparazzi. “I don’t give a f*** about me, but I don’t like it for [Ryan],” Mellencamp explained. “I’m not leaving Indiana. I’m going to die here,” he added.
However, four months after their breakup, sources close to the actor revealed he would be willing to move to New York if it meant a chance at reconciling with Ryan. “He is at the point now that he would move to New York City full-time if it meant Meg would take him back,” an insider told Closer Weekly.
