Engagement Buzz: Speculation Builds Before the Big Announcement
Before the official announcement, Meg and John, who is 67, had already sparked engagement rumors earlier this month. Back on November 1, the star of You’ve Got Mail was seen out and about in NYC sporting what looked like a stunning diamond and gold engagement ring on her left ring finger. Fans couldn’t help but speculate that big news was on the horizon, and they were absolutely right!
A Love Story Worth Celebrating
For those who may not know, Meg and John’s love story has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. They first started dating back in 2011, but due to their long-distance relationship—Meg calls NYC home, while John splits his time between Indiana and South Carolina—they faced some challenges. Despite their initial separation in 2014, they found their way back to each other later that year. However, life threw another curveball in 2015 when they parted ways again. But as they say, third time’s the charm, and they reconnected in 2017. Now, here we are, celebrating their engagement!
Looking Back: Their Previous Marriages
Meg’s upcoming marriage to John will mark her second walk down the aisle. She was previously married to actor Dennis Quaid from 1991 to 2001, with whom she shares a 26-year-old son, Jack Quaid. Meg also adopted a 14-year-old daughter, Daisy True Ryan, as a single mom in the mid-2000s. On the other hand, John has been married three times before—first to Priscilla Esterline from 1970 to 1981, then to Victoria Granucci from 1981 until 1989, and finally to Elaine Irwin from 1992 to 2011. Together, they have five children: Michelle Mellencamp, 47, Teddi Mellencamp, 37, Justice Mellencamp, 33, Hed Mellencamp, 24, and Speck Mellencamp, 23.
