Meg Ryan recently made a rare red carpet appearance at the grand opening gala of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. On September 25, when she was asked if she ever feels nostalgic about her iconic film roles, like the unforgettable part in Sleepless in Seattle, Meg had a straightforward answer: "No!"
Maybe that's because, as Meg turns 60 on November 19, she's more focused on living in the moment and looking forward to what's ahead. "She recognizes this birthday is a milestone, and she fully embraces it," an insider shared with Closer. Meg isn’t someone who worries about aging because she genuinely feels great. According to the source, she plans to celebrate this special occasion quietly, surrounded by her loved ones, including her daughter Daisy Ryan, who's 17, and her son Jack Quaid, 29. It's going to be a warm, intimate gathering, just the way she likes it.
Age Is Just a Number
As the saying goes, age really is just a number, and Meg Ryan knows this all too well. She's learned that being single can be a beautiful thing, and she's more than content with her current life. "I'm really happy being on my own," she says with a smile. "It's all about self-fulfillment and enjoying every moment."

For years, Meg was engaged to singer John Mellencamp, but they parted ways in 2019 after eight years together. Since then, she hasn't been in a rush to jump back into the dating scene. "Meg’s been on maybe two dates since," the insider reveals. "She’s not desperate. If she meets someone amazing, that would be fantastic, but she’s not actively searching." And let’s be honest, if you're going to date someone like Meg Ryan, you better bring your A-game. "She’s always said a guy has to be smart, funny, and charming. Tall and handsome doesn't hurt either," the source adds.
The Future of Meg’s Career
While fans might be eager to see Meg back on the big screen, she's very selective about the projects she chooses. "She’d rather wait for a fantastic project with quality collaborators than settle for something mediocre," the insider explains. Meg takes her craft seriously, and she’s not willing to compromise her standards. That said, she's incredibly busy with her life in California, where she enjoys gardening, antiquing, hiking, and spending time with the people who matter most to her.
Meg seems genuinely at peace with where she is in life. "I love my age. I love my life right now. I love the wisdom I’ve gained and the person I’ve become," she says. "It's an incredible feeling to evolve into the best version of yourself." Whether it’s savoring the simple joys of life or pursuing her passions, Meg Ryan is living proof that age is just a number, and 60 is just the beginning of a brand-new chapter.
