How did Melia McEnery and Eric Clapton meet?

Melia Mcenery and Eric Clapton met each other in 1998 at a party. McEnery had thrown a party for the company which was attended by Eric. Melia was the one who approached him asking for an autograph as her uncle was his big fan. He then started asking her out and they became good friends.

They dated for a year but broke up after celebrating one-year anniversary. The reason for their breakup is said to be the stress of Clapton’s career. Likewise, in late 2000, they announced that they were back together and expecting a baby together.
