Ryan had sparked engagement rumors in October. The star was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand during an outing in New York, according to Entertainment Tonight.

Ryan and Mellencamp reconciled in spring 2017 after splitting again in 2015. Mellencamp previously told The Howard Stern Show Ryan didn't want "anything to do with him" after their breakup.

"She hates me to death," the star told host Howard Stern. "She just doesn't want anything to do with me, and I don't blame her."

"I think it's because I'm a child," he said. "I throw fits, I gripe, I complain. I'm moody. Every bad thing that a fella can be, that's me."

Ryan was previously married to Dennis Quaid, while Mellencamp was wed to Priscilla Esterline, Victoria Granucci and Elaine Irwin. The pair both have children from previous relationships.
