Hey there, friends. Just a couple of months after making their November 2018 engagement official, Meg Ryan and her rockstar fiancé, John Mellencamp, packed up their coats and headed out to a picturesque, snow-dusted town in Connecticut. They were on a mission: house hunting. Let’s dive into this story, shall we?
According to an insider who spilled the tea exclusively to Closer Weekly, this move is all about finding a little slice of paradise. "In Manhattan, they're constantly recognized, so they're looking for an oasis, a haven away from the spotlight," the source revealed. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want a cozy retreat? Both Meg and John are private individuals who have a deep love for nature. So, it’s no surprise that they’re both equally excited about finding the perfect place to call home.

Love in the Air
While house hunting and wedding planning might seem stressful to some, Meg and John are soaking it all in. "They’re both hippies at heart, and at this age, they want no drama—they want it easy," the insider noted. Their wedding plans are just as laid-back as their personalities. “They plan to get married on the spur of the moment,” the source added. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?
One thing’s for sure: their big day will be surrounded by the love of family and friends. "Meg is an amazing, brilliant woman," John’s daughter, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, told Closer. "She’s funny, too—one of those people you like being around." A
