Sparks first flew between the crooner and the actress back in 2010. They kept their budding romance private for about a year before going public in 2011, nonchalantly confirming their coupledom. But by 2014, the first cracks began to show in their relationship. They decided to take a break and call it quits after three years together. However, Mellencamp and Ryan quickly found they couldn't stay apart for long. Just months after splitting, they rekindled their romance in 2014.
The revived relationship was short-lived, though. In 2015, the couple split again and went on to date other people during this extended separation. Ryan had a fling with singer John Fogerty while Mellencamp briefly romanticized supermodel Christie Brinkley. But the allure between them still hadn't fizzled out. After two years of flying solo, Mellencamp and Ryan found their way back together in 2017.
This time, the pair took a leap of faith and got engaged in late 2018. Mellencamp gushed about his bride-to-be in interviews, calling her the "funniest woman I've ever met." Ryan seemed equally smitten, raving about the contentment she felt with her husband-to-be. Alas, the whirlwind romance came to another dramatic halt when Ryan called off the engagement in 2019.
Though the connection always seemed to magnetize them back together, Ryan finally closed the door for good. For nearly 10 years, their love repeatedly survived fallingouts and breakups. But the complex dynamics ultimately proved unsustainable. Still, Mellencamp maintains great affection for Ryan, though the marriage clearly wasn't meant to be. Their relationship will likely go down as one of Hollywood's greatest love stories...that never fully got its fairy tale ending.
