The two—she's 49, 10 years his junior—have been spotted hanging out on Martha's Vineyard and in New York's SoHo neighborhood. "I thought that was her husband because they seemed comfortable and familiar with each other, just like an old married couple," one observer tells the magazine, which notes that the two got together after Mellencamp and his wife separated.
