Christie Brinkley and John Mellencamp break up after a year of dating
Christie Brinkley and John Mellencamp have broken up after a year of dating, a rep for the former couple confirmed to People magazine. The supermodel and musician first met at a party in the Hamptons last year.
"Both the mileage between their homes and their heavy career demands interfered with their ability to maintain the relationship," their rep said . "They vowed to remain best of friends."
Brinkley hinted that their respective busy schedules played a major role in their relationship when she spoke to People earlier this year.
"You never really know what's going to happen," she admitted. "John and I are two people that have very full lives. We're just trying to enjoy each other when we can see each other and try not to put too much [pressure] on it."
