Meg Ryan's Secret Engagement Ring Is So Classic
Everyone's favorite '90s icon has some happy news: Meg Ryan just confirmed on Instagram that she and musician John Mellencamp are engaged. She made the announcement with an adorable sketch of her and Mellencamp—who needs a cheesy engagement photo shoot when you can whip up a drawing?
The duo first dated from 2011 to 2014, and People reports that they reunited in May 2017. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? Ryan has two children, 26-year-old Jack and 14-year-old Daisy, while Mellencamp has five children, so the cute new family is pretty much a modern-day Brady Bunch.
Ryan has been secretly wearing her engagement ring since the end of October when she was photographed on a stroll in New York City. Her ring features a sleek gold band and a solitaire diamond—a refreshingly simple and timeless choice that's made for the minimalist at heart. Scroll down to get a close-up look at her ring reveal and shop similar ones for yourself.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports.
