When Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp got engaged back in November 2018, it wasn’t just a union of two extraordinary individuals—it was the merging of two remarkable families. John’s daughter, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, couldn’t have been more thrilled. At the OK!/Star/In Touch/Life & Style Pre-Grammys Party on February 7, she exclusively told Closer Weekly, “I’m so excited! They’re such a great couple. They’re both smart, hilarious, and their conversations are like watching a game of ping-pong. They bring out the best in each other, which is exactly what you want in a relationship.”
Getting to Know the Mellencamp-Ryan Family
Meg Ryan, now 63, and John Mellencamp, 74, first started dating in 2011, but life had other plans. By 2014, the couple decided to part ways due to the long-distance strain. Meg was living in New York City with her daughter Daisy, 15, while John was rooted in Indiana. However, love often finds a way, and in 2017, they rekindled their romance and have been together ever since, residing in NYC.

Family First: The Excitement Around the Upcoming Wedding
It’s not just Teddi who’s buzzing with excitement. Daisy, Meg’s daughter, is also thrilled at the idea of her mom tying the knot. A source close to Meg told Closer Weekly last May, “Daisy would absolutely love it if her mom married John. She’s already asking about the wedding details. Meg has promised Daisy that she’ll be involved every step of the way, which is exactly what a teenage girl dreams of!”
House Hunting and Planning for the Future
With wedding planning and house hunting on the agenda, Meg and John are keeping their lives as private as ever. Recently, the couple was spotted looking for a home in a quaint, snow-covered town in Connecticut. An insider close to the couple revealed to Closer Weekly that they want a place away from the spotlight. “In Manhattan, they’re always recognized, so they’re searching for a peaceful retreat where they can escape the chaos. Both Meg and John value privacy and love nature, so it’s a mutual desire to find a serene spot to call home,” the source explained.
Despite the hustle and bustle of wedding planning and house hunting, the couple is savoring every moment. “They’re both laid-back individuals who want to keep things simple. At this stage in their lives, they’re all about avoiding drama and embracing ease,” the insider shared. “They’re even considering a spontaneous wedding, which fits their hippie spirits perfectly.”
One thing is certain: Meg and John’s special day will be surrounded by their closest loved ones. “Meg is an incredible, brilliant woman,” Teddi gushed to Closer Weekly. “She’s not only smart but also hilarious—someone you genuinely enjoy being around.”
