Are John Mellencamp And Meg Ryan An Item?

John Mellencamp & Meg Ryan

Here’s one sex tape you couldn’t pay us to watch. John Mellencamp, who announced his split from model wife Elaine just before New Years’, has been spending time backstage with Meg Ryan on his recent tour. No one’s accusing them of being anything more than “friends” and Ryan is one of the actresses taking part in Ghost Brothers Of Darkling County, his long-planned musical with Stephen King (for real!). But with Meg and the Coug spotted walking arm-in-arm last October, one does have to wonder about the timing.

Ryan is no stranger to dramatic splits, notoriously running off with Russell Crowe—and ditching husband Dennis Quaid—in 2001. Neither side had any comment on Page Six‘s rumor-mongering, but it’s not like either’s publicist could just say “Ewwwww!!!!”
