I hate being wrong. I especially hate making a bad call about a wife-dumping/jumpoff-grabbing situation. On Sunday, I WRONGLY made a judgment call and gave John Mellencamp the benefit of the doubt regarding the report that John had basically dumped his model-wife Elaine after 20 years of marriage, all for Meg Ryan’s jacked face. Well, I’m sorry. I apologize for giving Mellencamp the benefit of the doubt. He’s a jag. I shall never make the same mistake again. So… People Magazine just put up this story – a confirmation that John spent New Year’s with his jumpoff, Meg Ryan. It’s looking more and more like this is the formal rollout for John and Meg as a couple, and more and more like Meg was in the picture when John and Elaine were still very much married:
The new year brings new beginnings for Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp.
The pair have spent time together on Martha’s Vineyard and in New York City in recent days, enjoying a fresh romance just as Mellencamp has announced his separation from wife Elaine after 18 years of marriage.
A source close to Ryan, 49, says the actress and the rock star, 59, began dating about seven weeks ago, and that Mellencamp and his wife had been separated for some time before that.
The pair have been spotted having coffee at Espresso Love, one of Ryan’s favorite spots on the Vineyard, and grocery shopping at Gourmet Garage in New York’s SoHo neighborhood – where observers tell PEOPLE they seemed happy and at ease.
“She usually comes in by herself or with her daughter. I thought that was her husband because they seemed for comfortable and familiar with each other, just like an old married couple,” one observer says.
Mellencamp has been married three times and has five children, including two sons with Elaine.
Ryan has been married once, to actor Dennis Quaid. They divorced in 2001 after 10 years of marriage. They have a son, Jack Henry, who is 18. Ryan also has a daughter, Daisy True, 6, whom she adopted from China.

“A source close to Ryan, 49, says the actress and the rock star, 59, began dating about seven weeks ago, and that Mellencamp and his wife had been separated for some time before that.” So… a “source close to Ryan” confirmed that John and Elaine were separated for months? I’ll be very interested in seeing if a “source close to Elaine” has a different take on the state of the marriage, won’t you?

Doesn’t Meg have a history of not taking the bonds of matrimony too seriously as well? I seem to recall something about her cheating on Dennis Quaid with Russell Crowe. Not that Quaid was an angel, either, but still.
Sounds like these two are perfect for each other! Til their heads get turned by the next one…

I am surprised she did this. Didn’t she break up with Dennis Quaid because he was cheating? Why would she do that to another women??!

Well, we have our gut instincts about things, and also we have the need to be fair…..but, I called this. Sometimes, when a person leaves a marriage of a serial cheater (as was reported the case between Meg Ryan/Dennis Quaid) the victim (the non cheater) doesn’t get good counseling, internalizes, and then BECOMES a CHEATER, and often with the (conscious or unconscious) action of targeting Married People. I know, it’s the oldest story in the book………
Eliane Mellencamp (victim) is a beauty and she will carry on in good grace and motherhood….and she will find love….better than Mellencamp. Trust.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt too. Huh. Anyway, will be curious to see if the “separated some time ago” is confirmed by Elaine. If so, then no big deal, but if he got involved with Meg while still married, that’s lousy (and confusing).

She seems to have a cute pointy chin now. I think it’s in the eyes … she just didn’t get enough sleep before she went out on this shoot. I love her as an actress and I’m sure they would both look better without the camera up their noses. But why can’t women find men who aren’t taken. It would be nice if people gave relationships a chance to work out their troubles BEFORE taking over.

I am dating myself but I am pretty sure John left his wife who was with him before he was a rockstar (as I said in an earlier post she was in the Jack and Dianne video) to be with Elaine who was at the time a Victoria Secret model. I can’t exactly say this time he traded her in for a newer model but he did dump her in a similar that he did his first wife. Elaine can be comforted by the fact that at least she looks so much better than her.
And Johns’ first wife is probably laughing her ass off in Indiana somewhere.

I’m not sticking up for them at all, but you never know what’s going on in that marriage. Elaine may very well have done the leaving–she’s a LOT younger and might have grown tired of an older guy. I saw this happen with two of my friends. The guys they hooked up with when they were in their 20s were 10-15 years older than them. By the time my friends hit their 40s, they wanted someone younger and their own age and the marriages ended.

Can’t Meg Ryan find a man who’s unattached? She got involved with Russell Crowe when he was in a long term relationship with his (now) wife, now she’s stepped up her game this time by grabbing a married man, with kids.

Could one of you nice people who knows something about plastic surgery, please explain to me what Meg Ryan did to her face. Was it a bad nose job? Cheek implants? Her lips look like those of the joker in Batman…
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I think she has some cheek implants that really push up on her eyes when she grins like that. And yeah, she did get some kind of lip implant in the top lip. Add the odd nip, tuck and filler injection, and Tada! Sort of a nightmare version of Meg Ryan. Sadly.

WTF happened to Mellencamp’s eyebrows? It’s like he waxed off the outer half of each.
I think Mellencamp makes Ryan look good by comparison. He looks like he’s a trying WAAAY to hard with that dyed hair sprayed up 3″ from his scalp. Plus his face has gotten that doughy anonymous-old-guy look. At least Meg’s face is tight, she looks fit, and the hair/makeup/outfit combo is cute. It’s a shame about her plastic surgery mishap, but I still love her old rom-coms.

newsflash. People age. The man will be 60 years old this year and Meg will be fifty. While I think it is a shame Meg had plastic surgery. I really think the comments on this site are beyond mean. Are people this shallow? And I don’t think he cheated on his wife. I just don’t think they made a big announcement to the world. Meg and John seem cute together. Even if their looks are fading. Happens to the best of us. Will happen to you.But the world doesn’t have a mental image of you when you were younger and prettier. So you can go about your life. Ugly and all. Your outside will catch up to your ugly insides soon enough

iirc, John’s first wife was a regular person. He divorced her and married his second wife, Vicky, a very pretty, tiny blonde (believe she was in his “Rooty Toot Toot” video). He was unfaithful, which he admitted. He divorced Vicky and married Elaine Irwin.
Two bitchy thoughts about Meg Ryan: Her posture is horrible, and her teeth are yellow.

I’m reminded of Mellencamp’s “Check it Out”:
“Sleeping w/ your back up to your loved one,
This is all that we’ve learned about happiness. . .
Check it out,
Sometimes I question my own behavior,
Talkin’ about the girls we’re seeing on the sly,
Just to tell ourselves we’re still the young lions.”

It so sad she afraid of aging so much to change into a feline mask. I wish these starlets stop destroying their faces and bodies to get back what they had when they were in the moment. Can’t they see how unatural they look.
BTW you guys must look into Diane Canon I was shock at what she looks like now.
She had a cuteface a bubbly personality, now its frightening.
Kaiser, you should go back and do a montage of these A/B actors, before and after they paid someone to remove their real faces.
