“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Teddi Mellencamp is opening up about her dating life.
Reality Blurb reported that Mellencamp shared details about her recent dates while recording the March 21 episode of her podcast, “Diamonds in the Rough,” co-hosted by her former RHOBH co-star Erika Jayne. Mellencamp said she had gone on “four or five” dates with one individual before doctors determined that she had several tumors in her brain and needed emergency surgery to remove four of the tumors on February 12.
She said she ended up having an upsetting conversation with the person she was dating while she was recovering from her surgery in the hospital. According to Mellencamp, he asked her if she would be “in a place to have more kids,” causing her to cry. Mellencamp has three children, Slate, Dove, and Cruz, with her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, whom she separated from in late 2024.
Mellencamp said she eventually “let him have it” and decided to stop dating him.
She then told Jayne that she has gone on two dates with another person, whom she described as “really cute and nice.” When she showed Jayne the picture of her date, the “Pretty Mess” singer agreed that “he is cute.”
Mellencamp also said her new date, who is 35-years-old, was unaware that she is a Bravo personality.
“He goes, ‘I’m confused. Now that I follow you on Instagram, all these ‘Bravoleebs’ keep following me,'” said Mellencamp.
After a concerned Jayne asked, “Did the doctor say you could date,” Mellencamp replied, “Yes!”

She also told her Instagram followers that “the doctors are hopeful that immunotherapy will effectively treat them.” In addition, she said she is “feeling positive— that [she] will win this battle.”

Mellencamp spoke about her relationship with Arroyave on the March 21 episode of her podcast. She said that her estranged husband “has been amazing” following her February 12 surgery.
“He has showed up. He has been an amazing caregiver,” said Mellencamp on her podcast.
Mellencamp shared she was grateful to Arroyave in a January 2025 Instagram post. She said she was particularly thankful that Arroyave introduced her to his eldest daughter, Isabella.
“I would never have known I wanted kids until meeting my amazing stepdaughter, Isabella. My love for her changed my life and 5 years later came Slate, then Cruz, and then our miracle baby Dove in 2020. I may be far from perfect but being a mother has been the greatest gift you could have given me. Thank you always and forever,” wrote Mellencamp in the caption.
