Popularity as John Mellencamp’s Wife
Although she desired to become an actress, singing was another of her interests, and as such she apparently fell in love with John Mellencamp even before she met him. The two met on a blind date as John saw her picture on his friend’s wall; they hit it off immediately and married in 1981. On 1 July that year, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter Teddi Jo Mellencamp, while their second daughter, Justice Mellencamp, was born in 1985.
Once she married John, the star in the making, everybody wanted to learn more about Victoria, but she has cleverly declined all the interview invitations, and continued to live her life away from the media buzz, despite the huge success of her husband. Unfortunately, John’s and Victoria’s marriage came to an end in 1989, following his infidelity while on tour; Victoria couldn’t get over his unfaithfulness, and divorced, since when Victoria has been living a low-key life in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, enjoying her time as a grandmother, since her daughters have three children.
