When Christie Brinkley and John Mellencamp began dating in September 2015, both were working hard at their individual careers. Mellencamp had just finished an 80-city, eight-month tour for his album "Plain Spoken," and was in the process of promoting Farm-Aid, scheduled for later that month. Brinkley was promoting her own skincare line, eyewear, and hair extensions.
As if they weren't already busy enough, things got even more complicated when Brinkley released her book "Timeless Beauty" in November 2015 and began a whirlwind of promotional appearances. Behind the scenes, the entrepreneur was also working on releasing her own brand of organic prosecco, Bellissima, which made its debut in April 2016. Meanwhile, Mellencamp was also working on something big — more concerts for "Plain Spoken." Due to the overwhelming success of the original tour, the "Pink Houses" singer created a second set of tour dates that kicked off in April 2016.
In addition to their work commitments, Brinkley and Mellencamp were also facing the difficulties of a long-distance relationship. The supermodel had her main home in The Hamptons, about two or three hours outside of New York City, while the rocker was known to hang out at his homes in South Carolina and Indiana.
