John Mellencamp Raves About His ‘Beautiful’ New Girlfriend’s ‘Tolerance’: ‘She Has Not Left My Side’

The ‘Hurts So Good’ singer said he met his new girlfriend “unexpectedly” when she walked into his New York apartment with friends

John Mellencamp has apparently met his match.

During an interview Monday on Club Random with Bill Maher, the “Hurts So Good” singer, 71, shared some details about his new girlfriend of seven months, whom he met “unexpectedly” when she walked into his New York apartment.

“Who’s your girlfriend?” Maher, 67, asked when Mellencamp brought her up in passing while the two men discussed their disdain for incessant cell phone use.

“You don’t know her,” Mellencamp shot back to his pal, but when Maher prompted him for more information, the musician softened.

“She’s a beautiful 57-year-old woman who just walked into my apartment in New York unexpectedly,” he said. “She was with a couple of friends. She walked in. She didn’t know I was going to be there. I didn’t know she was there. We met each other.”

“It’s so hard to believe. I know. She has a really high threshold for tolerance,” Mellencamp had joked earlier when the controversial comedian teased him that he couldn’t believe that he had a girlfriend.

When Maher asked how long ago they met, the Indiana-born singer immediately came back with a romantic response: “Seven months ago and she has not left my side in seven months.”
