Last month, ABC News confirmed that John Mellencamp and Meg Ryan had broken up.

Mellencamp, 62, is based in Indiana, while Ryan, 52, resides in New York City with her 8-year-old daughter, Daisy. Moving to the Big Apple was never an option, the singer once said.

"I need a nursemaid," he joked to Stern. "A wet maid, or something!"
