Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp's Kids: Meet Their Blended Family

Meg Ryan and ex John Mellencamp may no longer be together, but the on-again, off-again couple are seemingly staying amicable for their families. Although they never welcomed any children together, the rom-com legend and the “Jack and Diane” rocker blended their broods throughout their decades-long relationship.

John shares his eldest daughter, Michelle, with his first wife Priscilla Esterline. Following their divorce in 1981, he went on to marry Victoria Granucci that same year and welcomed daughters Teddi and Justice throughout their eight-year marriage. After the two called it quits in 1989, John walked down the aisle with his third wife, Elaine Irwin, in 1992, and completed his family when sons Hud and Speck arrived. The pair divorced in 2011.

As for Meg, the When Harry Met Sally star is the loving mom of son Jack, whom she welcomed in 1992 with her then-husband, Dennis Quaid. After the pair called it quits following a decade of marriage in 2001, the As the World Turns alum expanded her family when she adopted her youngest daughter, Daisy, from China in 2006.

When John and Meg first became a couple in 2011, they couldn’t be more excited to introduce each other to their families. Throughout the years, the two clans became quite close. The Grammy winner was even spotted on multiple occasions with the Sleepless in Seattle star and her adopted daughter.

Sadly, Jack and Meg called it quits in October 2019. Although the couple had gotten engaged in November 2018, a source close to the Working Girl star told Us Weekly that “[Meg] had enough and ended [their engagement].”

While the insider noted she had “no regrets,” a separate source told Closer Weekly the breakup certainly wasn’t easy. “Meg agonized over this, and shed more than a few tears over this decision,” the insider explained. “She loves John with all her heart — he’s a very intense man and she said she never felt the deep and profound love he offered her with any man in her life, even in her marriages.”

Even though the longtime lovebirds have a history of breaking up and getting back together, it seems their romantic relationship might be over for good. According to a separate insider, John “has finally moved on” and “found love again” with beauty expert Nurse Jamie Sherrill. “From what I know, it’s pretty serious,” the source shared in April 2020, noting the new couple have been together since March.

John’s daughter Teddi also wants the best for her dad. According to the insider, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is “really happy” for the legendary rock ‘n’ roller. “Teddi is friends with Nurse Jamie,” the source explained. “She’s known her for a while – before she started dating her dad.”

John and Meg might be moving on, but they will always hold a special place in each other’s hearts.

Scroll through the below to meet the former pair’s blended family of seven kids!

Michelle Mellencamp

Michelle, who was born in December 1970, has the honor of being John’s first child. John and his first wife, Priscilla, welcomed Michelle when he was just 19 years old. Unlike her father, Michelle has stayed out of the spotlight. Fortunately, we do know she gave John and Priscilla their first grandchild, Elexis Suzanne Peach.

Teddi Jo Mellencamp

Unlike her big sister, Teddi Jo — who was born to John and Victoria in July 1981 — chose to thrust herself into the spotlight. Aside from being a former cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for three seasons from 2018 to 2020, Teddi is a also certified Nutrition/Wellness Coach and Trainer. She even owns her own business, All in By Teddi.

As for her personal life, the TV personality has been married to husband Edwin Arroyave since 2011. The longtime lovebirds also share their three kids, Cruz, Slate and Dove. She’s also the loving stepmom of her husband’s eldest child, Isabella, from a previous relationship.

Justice Mellencamp

John and his second wife welcomed daughter Justice in 1985. Although the blonde beauty didn’t pursue a Hollywood career, she’s become successful in her own right as she’s one of Hilton Head Island’s top stylists. Justice is also married to a Michael Moore (not the famed director) and has two children, according to her Instagram page.

Speck Mellencamp

The “Hurts So Good” singer’s youngest son came along in 1995. Unfortunately, there isn’t a ton of information on John’s youngest son — or many pictures of him at all.

However, it seems the singer’s kiddo is quite the artist as one of his exhibits titled “Mellencamp: Three Generations of Art” was on display at the Southern Indiana Center for the Arts’ in October 2019, the Tribune reported.

Daisy True Ryan

Back in 2006, Meg decided to add another kid to her family. But this time around, she chose to adopt a little girl from China.

Meg once opened up about adopting her beloved daughter through a process that included a lottery system. “I am convinced, completely convinced that there was nothing random about it,” the You’ve Got Mail actress told People. “She is the daughter I should have.”
