Teddi Mellencamp reveals shock romance news amid brain cancer battle

Teddi Mellencamp reveals shock romance news amid brain cancer battle

Teddi Mellencamp is opening up about her love life as she navigates a divorce and cancer.

The 43-year-old former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star joined Erika Jayne, 53, on her Diamonds in the Rough podcast this week, where she spilled on recently going on a second date. 

She announced her split from her husband of 13 years, Edwin Arroyave, in November. Then, in February she publicly shared that doctors discovered multiple brain tumors, resulting in emergency surgery.

As she continues treatment, the mother-of-three is maintaining a well-rounded lifestyle that includes horseback riding, raising her kids, and now, dating.

‘[I’ve] already been on more dates with new people,’ Mellencamp teased while chatting about a suitor she began talking to around the time of her brain surgery.

‘Well, I’m on a second date. So I went on a first date, pre-the thing, and then I went on a second date yesterday actually. He’s really cute and nice,’ she gushed.

Erika asked Teddi if her doctors gave her the okay to date as she pointed out, ‘I know that they told you that you could ride horses.’

Mellencamp enthusiastically replied, ‘Yes!’ before showing the Chicago actress pH๏τos of her love interest.

‘I mean, he’s making a stupid face in this pH๏τo. But he’s cute,’ she said before Erika agreed, ‘He is cute.’

Taking on a protective tone, Jayne then said, ‘Wait a second, okay. What are his intentions? Do I need to get on the phone with this fool?’

Mellencamp then shared that the guy, whose idenтιтy she has not revealed, didn’t know about her time on Real Housewives ahead of their meeting.

‘He doesn’t know s***,’ she laughed, adding, ‘But it’s weird. He’s like so nice then I get panicked. But I have been on two dates.’

She shared with podcast listeners that the two dates went ‘really well’ and noted that the person she’s seeing is 35 and ‘works in events.’

The star also described him as an ‘amazing caregiver’ and said he had ‘been there’ for her when she was in the hospital amid her brain operation.

‘So we’ll see. Who knows?’ she said about where the connection might lead.

Last weekend Teddi went to Thermal, California to take part in a two-day equestrian compeтιтion with her daughter Slate, 12.

Recounting the event afterward, she shared footage and a thoughtful caption with her one million Instagram followers.

She wrote, ‘Two exciting things happened: I got to bond with my girl @slate_mellencamp_eq and watch her become the circuit champion on Catniss in the 3’6” 15-and-under Junior Hunters.’

Mellencamp added, ‘And I got to get on my boy, Toad… something I was worried I would never be able to do again. All while the immunotherapy kicked my ʙuтт (which the docs say that means it’s working).’

Teddi went on to thank her inner circle for helping her ‘prove the negative thoughts wrong’ and ‘believing in me, taking care of me, and making me feel safe & confident.’

She ended the caption, ‘My heart and soul got a huge boost this weekend ❤️ And now I’m more than ready to start radiation this week.’
