Teddi Mellencamp Spills New Details on Her Boyfriend

Teddi Mellencamp may be going through a divorce from Edwin Arroyave, but that doesn’t mean the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member can’t have a bit of happiness in the process. Recently, she opened up about her new boyfriend and the support he provides. 

According to Bravo, Teddi Mellencamp discussed the new man in her life on her “Diamonds in the Rough” podcast, which she hosts with Erika Jayne. 

She said, “He is really sweet and kind. I know I’ve said that before… but it’s — he came and picked us up this week from the [podcast] show, and he could tell that I was down. He sat and watched one million hours of horse show rounds. He’s just a good guy.”

Erika Jayne chimed in and remarked on how nice of a guy Teddi’s new beau is. She has met him, as have some of Teddi’s other friends. Still, Teddi makes it a point to keep his name private for the time being. 

Teddi Mellencamp then said, “1) I know I deserve it, and it’s really nice. But 2), I’m like, ‘If for some reason you realize you need somebody that doesn’t have three kids, 1 million activities to do, 87 podcasts, like, you want more time than I’m able to give? I would not be mad at you for not even a second.’ He’s like, ‘I am willing to do anything to be able to spend time with you.'”

From there, Erika shared a conversation she had with Teddi’s new boyfriend. She revealed, “Do you know what he said to me in the driveway when I first met him when he had to move his car? ‘Teddi’s such a really good girl.'” From there, Teddi confessed that she didn’t understand why he had such a favorable opinion of her. 

Teddi Mellencamp has had a long journey with cancer. According to Today, the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star was first diagnosed with melanoma in 2022. However, doctors found multiple tumors on her brain in recent months, but things have been moving in a positive direction more recently. 

Teddi took to her Instagram account on June 16th to reveal that she had experienced some hair growth. She said, “Today was the first day I noticed a real change in my hair regrowth. So this little bit of hair growth, this change from May 12th (second slide) to today, June 16th, made me smile. It’s amazing what my body can do.”
