Some of us try to stay informed about who is with whom in Hollywood, New York and LA, but it’s impossible to keep up with everything about the rich and famous. For instance it was just announced that John Mellencamp can’t get over his split with Meg Ryan. Wow, who even knew they had a relationship let alone a break-up.
Well, sometimes it is only when a relationship is over, that we can understand what was going on. Apparently this romance is one of those situations. In a People magazine feature John Mellencamp stated that he had tried to make amends with Meg Ryan but “she just doesn’t want anything to do with me. And I can’t blame her.” He added “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.”
Apparently these two high flyers have dated for three years, on and off, before they called it off in 2014. That’s years ago and Mellencamp hasn’t gotten over it yet. “I loved Meg Ryan. She hates me to death,” Now had I been asked, as a Dayologist, if these two people were suited for one another, I would have instantly said no. I know that these two celebrities were born on Sunday and that two Sunday individuals generally do not make a successful SUN/SUN pair. It’s not that they cannot make things work, but they don’t always want to do what would make it work.

John Mellencamp was born on a Sunday in the zodiac sign of Libra. The Sun is the ruler of his INNER SELF and his OUTER SELF is governed by Venus. Those with the #07 SUN LIB Dayology Signature are here to learn from relationships, but they don’t always make the grade. This unfortunately happens to those who particularly enjoy being spoiled or pampered.
Meg Ryan was born on a Sunday in the zodiac sign of Scorpio. The Sun is the ruler of her INNER SELF and her OUTER SELF is governed by Mars or Pluto. Those with the #08 SUN SCO Dayology Signature have a very different agenda for this lifetime. They are passionate and willing to go through a lot for love and other things, but in the end there is a limit to what they can take.
Individuals born on Sunday are attracted to each other because they both want to live the good life. Like their INNER ruler, the Sun, each partner wants to be the absolute center of the solar system. In addition they want complete freedom to do whatever they please. They dislike asking for permission from anyone. Yes, Sun people can be warm, funny and generous, but life is on their terms. And maturity is necessary for two Sun individuals to LIVE WITH one another.
Externally there is a equal amount of attraction and tension between Ryan and Mellencamp. Their Sun Signs, Scorpio and Libra, are adjoining signs indicating a push-pull type of relationship. Mellencamp generally plays the more dynamic role and Ryan tends to respond magnetically. From another perspective Mellencamp’s Venus OUTER ruler had the potential to act as if he is cooperative but he really does not want to buckle down or be under anyone’s thumb. Ryan’s Mars OUTER ruler holds the basic potential to hold grudges as well as the capacity to call it quits.
UPDATE – It was true that these two could not exist as a bionary star. The feature entitled The Truth About Meg Ryan And John Mellencamp’s Relationship in THE LIST reveals that these two were seen dating in 2011 shortly after John Mellencamp divorced his wife of 18 years, model Elaine Irwin. She was his third wife according to USMagazine exclusive report Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp Split, Call Off Engagement: She ‘Had Enough’ It is stated there that it was a matter of physical distance that actually broke up this pair. Then in 2017 they got back together and became engaged. After that Ryan, who was divorced from Dennis Quaid, became fed up with all the same old ups and down and broke things off. Mellencamp went on to date celebrity skin expert Jamie Sherrill but it is said that the relationship blew up in 2021.
