Meg Ryan And John Mellencamp Together Again

John Mellencamp told Howard Stern that his ex-girlfriend Meg Ryan “hates” him — but just days later, the two stepped out together on the streets of New York City! “They were just talking,” said Stephanie Forman, who snapped this photo of Meg and the “Small Town” singer. “They seemed friendly and civil. I didn’t hear or see anything that made it seem like they were angry or uncomfortable with each other.”

The shocking reunion came hot on the heels of John telling Howard about his romantic woes after breaking up with Christie Brinkley. “I loved Meg Ryan,” John added. “She hates me to death. I think it’s because I’m a child. I throw fits, I gripe, I complain, I’m moody. Every bad thing that a fella can be, that’s me.”

As The National ENQUIRER reported in its Oct. 5, 2015, issue, John and Meg had drifted apart that spring. But the split became final after John was caught with supermodel Christie — just blocks away from Meg’s New York home! “She just thought they were on a break,” says a tipster about Meg’s shock. “She had no idea they were moving on!”

But in a twist worthy of a classic romantic comedy, John may still  have some competition for Meg’s affections from Dennis Quaid. As The ENQUIRER reported just weeks ago, Meg's been feeling nostalgic for her life with Dennis, who she was married to between 1991 to 2001. The source reported that — in addition to their son Jack begging his dad to take Meg back —“Meg has matured, and realized that Dennis was the love of her life!”
