John Mellencamp’s “beautiful” new girlfriend has been revealed as multimillionaire socialite Kristin Kehrberg.
The blond beauty is the widow of Shelter Island advertising guru Richard “Dick” Tarlow, who died in May 2022 at the age of 81.
Kehrberg has also dabbled in production, serving as an executive producer with her then-husband on the 2017 rom-com “The Wild Wedding” starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich and Patrick Stewart, according to IMDb.
While it is unclear where Kehrberg currently lives, she and Tarlow — whom she wed in 2009 — purchased a $16.5 million apartment on Fifth Ave. six years before his death.
The “Hurts So Good” singer, 71, and Kehrberg, 57, started dating earlier this year but were not publicly spotted together until the beginning of August.
Mellencamp and Kehrberg were photographed canoodling outside of his granddaughter Slate’s fashion show at the Unincorporated Life in Los Angeles.
In photos obtained by Pvnew, the couple can be seen latching onto each other on a street corner.
The twosome — who wore matching sunglasses, white shirts, black pants and sneakers — shared a sweet embrace as they chatted before saying goodbye.
And it appears Kehrberg is already integrated into the rocker’s family, as his daughter, “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Teddi Mellencamp, was also in attendance.
John announced Monday that he was dating someone new while appearing on the “Club Random with Bill Maher” podcast.
During the interview, the “Jack & Diane” crooner revealed that he met his new girlfriend — whom he did not name at the time — “unexpectedly” seven months ago and “she has not left [his] side” since.
“She’s a beautiful 57-year-old woman who just walked into my apartment in New York unexpectedly,” he explained.
“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.”
John claimed the pair are so well-suited that Kehrberg has “never” even gotten angry with him.
“It’s so hard to believe, I know. She has a really high threshold for tolerance,” he joked.
Prior to his latest romance, John was in an on-and-off relationship with Meg Ryan from 2011 until 2019.
Following their final breakup, the Grammy winner admitted he had been a “sh—ty boyfriend” to the “When Harry Met Sally…” star, whom he once claimed hated him “to death.”
“She’s a great girl,” he told Esquire in June. “I love Meg Ryan. I went with her for 10 years. She doesn’t love me so much.”
After 61-year-old Ryan, John was linked to a handful of other woman, yet the relationships were always short-lived.
He has been married three times and has five children. Meanwhile, Kehrberg is a mom to two sons.
