The couple separated in 2014, reportedly due to distance issues, as Meg was based in New York, while Mellencamp preferred to live in Indiana, where he was born. 'I'm too sensitive to live here,' he said of New York City in a December 2013 interview with Rolling Stone. 'I can’t see poor people. I can’t see suffering. I can’t see the trash on the streets.'

He moved on with Christie Brinkley from 2015 to 2016, but he reunited with Meg in the summer of 2017.
