Ryan and Mellencamp’s relationship flourished after 2017 – they even got engaged in 2018 – but less than a year later, they called it off. Allegedly, the spotlight-shy Mellencamp couldn’t handle Ryan’s fame even back in 2014, when a source said “I don't think he loved all the attention he got just from dating an actress.”
However, Mellencamp also admitted that he has a difficult and moody personality, calling himself a “child” who throws fits and complains, which led Ryan to end their relationship. A source simply said, "She'd had enough."
