8. Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp

Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp parted ways in 2019 just one year after announcing their engagement. “He didn’t want to get married again,” PEOPLE reported.”He loves her, but marriage never seemed to be a part of it.” The pair began a long-distance relationship in 2011 after Mellencamp ended his 18-year marriage to model Elaine Irwin. Mellencamp lived in his home state of Indiana while Ryan lived in New York City, which caused tension in their relationship and led to a split in 2014. They reconciled in 2017 and shared last November that they were engaged only to end the relationship this past year.
