They broke up again in 2015 and everyone thought it was definitely over because Mellencamp then dated Christie Brinkley.

The former couple’s engagement happened last year, in November, which was announced through an Instagram post. There were rumors before about the couple’s split which surfaced after Ryan, 57, attended the Governors Awards without the engagement ring. A source told the aforesaid news outlet that Mellencamp didn’t want to get married. The insider further claimed that he loved her but marriage was just off the table.

On the other hand, another source exclusively revealed to US Weekly that Ryan had enough of Mellencamp; hence, she ended the engagement. This source then claimed that she didn’t have any regrets about this decision.

Claims of another supposed source revealed that Ryan and Mellencamp had unresolved issues, which resulted into a massive blow-up and kept them from marrying, Radar Online reported. Although they loved each other, the insider reportedly said that the issues that built-up all these years did not go away when they reunited.

Furthermore, Ryan was reportedly suspicious of Mellencamp’s commitment to live with her. The 68-year-old singer remained in Indiana while Ryan lives in New York. The source, whose name was not disclosed, revealed that Mellencamp may not be comfortable living in the big city.

There were also claims that Mellencamp would opt to fly back to his hometown whenever him and Ryan had issues instead of confronting her. Ryan reportedly had no clue that he was already there —at least not until his plane landed.

Few of the news outlets reportedly tried reaching out to the parties concerned for comments but no official statements got released thus far.

People are not perfect and so as relationships. Mellencamp adored Ryan’s intellect, personality and humor, while Ryan was reportedly fascinated by his talent. But like any other normal couple, they had their differences and it had more bearing than their feelings for each other, so much so that they decided to part ways.

Fate has a funny way of bringing people back together and Mellencamp and Ryan? They might find their way back to each other in the near future so who knows? For now, this chapter of their love story ends.
