Even though they were married for 18 years, John won’t let Elaine use ‘Mellencamp’ after the divorce!
Unkindest cut of all indeed: Elaine Irwin-Mellencamp, 41, who has two sons with the musician — Hud, 16 and Speck, 15 — will be asked to return to her maiden name after the divorce is completed. RadarOnline obtained the petition for dissolution of marriage filed by John Mellencamp in Indiana and article six clearly states, “wife should be restored her maiden name of ‘Irwin’.”
Looks like the 59-year-old doesn’t think his third wife deserves to keep her hyphenated last name.
It’s the latest insult added to injury for Irwin, who has seen Meg Ryan getting pretty cozy in NYC and in Martha’s Vineyard with John. The actress has been seeing Mellencamp for a few weeks now since his September separation according to People and things continue to simmer for Meg and Mellencamp.
But tell us YOUR thoughts below!

john is notorious for cheating on his wives and then divorce and marry the one he is cheating with. get rid of guilt i would say. same thing happened to elaine. john cheated with meghag and he felt guilt and desolved the marriage so that in his own sick love trench mind, he wouldnt be condsidered an adulterator. so i rest my case. john needs to dump the meghag and quit playing mellencock and go back to elaine and the boys where he belongs.
