Who Is Nurse Jamie? Meet Star Of Netflix's 'Skin Decision' — And John Mellencamp's Girlfriend
Her new reality skincare show just premiered on Netflix.
getty John Mellencamp is a man that needs no introduction. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is a rock star who helped shaped the landscape of music today, with hits like "Small Town," "Jack & Diane," and "Pink Houses," forever cementing his place in the pop culture zeitgeist.
But now, thanks to his daughter Teddi Jo Mellencamp starring turn on the hit reality show, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Mellencamp's love life has taken center stage in the spotlight, too.
So, when it was announced in April 2020 that Mellencamp may have found himself a new girlfriend, the Internet was abuzz with the desire to know who, exactly, she was.
Who is Nurse Jamie, star of Netflix's Skin Decision and John Mellencamp's girlfriend?
Nurse Jamie is a very successful beauty and skincare expert. She's one of the top beauty professionals in the world, in fact. And she's now starring in a brand new Netflix reality show titled Skin Decision: Before And After.
Her real name isn't Nurse Jamie.
Jamie Sue Sherrill, known by her nickname "Nurse Jamie," owns the Beauty Park Medical Spa in Los Angeles, CA. The "medispa" also has a location in Abu Dhabi.
Sherrill, who's mom to triplets, frequently shares beauty tips on her website, and has been featured on such shows as The Doctors and The Today Show.
Nurse Jamie is his first public girlfriend after his split from Hollywood legend Meg Ryan.
Prior to dating Sherrill, Mellencamp was involved with Meg Ryan for many years. He even proposed at one point!
However, in 2019, they split for good, with Ryan calling off the engagement.
"Meg ended it. It got exhausting for her to deal with. There were too many ups and downs and it wasn't healthy. She just needed to get out and not be in that environment anymore," a source close to the former "America's Sweetheart" said.
Sherrill frequently records segments for shows like Extra and E! News.
It's perhaps no surprise that a celebrity skin expert like Sherrill is frequently featured in high-profile outlets like Extra and E News.
And it's also no surprise that she's also contributed advice to such outlets as The Huffington Post, and has such high-profile clients like Shay Mitchell.
She also has her own line of skincare products and is known as a "celebrity skin expert."
Thanks to her high profile and her high-profile clientele, "Nurse Jamie" was able to release her own line of skincare products. These products were so successful that she became known as a "celebrity skin expert" back in the mid-2010s.
On Sherrill's blog, she used to list herself as a "wife and mom," but little is known about her (ex?) husband.
Sherrill's bio on her website used to have an interesting paragraph: "Although she wears many hats, there are two roles that she enjoys above all others: Wife and Mom. When she is not nurturing her patients, she most enjoys spending time at her Pacific Palisades residence with her husband, triplets and two dogs."
However, this part of her bio was eventually removed. If she does, in fact, still have a husband, it would be interesting to see how she explains having a boyfriend in John Mellencamp, as well. (Maybe they're polyamorous — or maybe it really is all just rumors?)
She's starring on the new Netflix reality show, Skin Decision: Before And After.
Netflix's newest bingeworthy series stars Sherrill and Dr. Sheila Nazarian as they help patients with powerful stories undergo the changes they're desiring to have done. It isn't your run-of-the-mill plastic surgery show, as it dives into the world of transformative medical procedures.
The series also helps to inform, educate, and show viewers the risks of these various procedures. The new show is available to start binge-watching now.
Neither Mellencamp nor Sherrill have commented on their new relationship.
Yes, even though some sources say they've been together since the beginning of 2020. It will be interesting to see if, indeed, they are together, or if this is just another celebrity dating rumor.
