Teddi Mellencamp, former star of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' has revealed she's dating an "older" man while continuing her battle with cancer. The announcement came during a recent episode of her podcast "Two Ts in a Pod" with co-host Tamra Judge.
"He makes me laugh," Mellencamp shared about her new partner, describing him as a "positive and logical person" who has been supportive throughout her health challenges.
While keeping his identity private, Mellencamp acknowledged the relationship comes with complications. Both she and her partner are parents—Mellencamp shares three children with ex-husband Edwin Arroyave: Slate (12), Cruz (11), and Dove (6).
"I'm taking things slow for now," she noted, contrasting this approach with her past relationships.
The reality star and Arroyave announced their separation in fall 2024, and sources confirmed last year that their divorce proceedings continued despite Mellencamp's cancer diagnosis. In previous interviews, Mellencamp has reflected on her health struggles, even questioning whether her stage 4 cancer diagnosis might be "karma" for past mistakes.
Despite the challenges, Mellencamp's revelation shows she's embracing new beginnings while navigating her health journey, finding both support and humor in her new relationship.
