Amid her stage 4 cancer battle, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Teddi Mellencamp has found a new man!
In photos obtained by Page Six, Teddi was seen cozying up to a mystery man in Beverly Hills on Sunday afternoon.
At one point, the man wrapped his arms around Teddi, who grinned while holding his forearm.
While the man’s identity is still unknown, a source told DailyMail.com that Teddi’s “dating him” and “happy” about the relationship.
For the casual outing, both wore caps and joggers.
Teddi confirmed the rumors in her "Two Ts In a Pod" podcast, saying, "I’m dating somebody. He’s very kind to me, he’s taking good care of me. He’s nice … he’s not married, he doesn’t have any kids. But he’s also a private person.”
As for why she isn't revealing his name, Mellencamp explained, "I asked him, like, ‘Do I even say your name?’ and he’s, like, it’s really whatever you want to do, like, ‘I know you’re a public person.’”
Teddi has moved on from estranged husband Edwin Arroyave. They called it quits last year after 13 years of marriage but have put the divorce on hold while she fights cancer.
Just weeks ago, “Extra” spoke with Teddi at the 2025 Gracie Awards, where she gave an update on her health.
She shared, “I’m feeling pretty good. I’m on day five post-immunotherapy, so those are always the days that I'm little blurry — but I’m hanging in.”
She added, “I realize that in order for me to feel better, I have to go out and do things that I love and enjoy and believe in. Then I also listen to myself on the days that I have the time to just kind of relax. I think on Sunday, I called one, you know, of my friends. I’m like, ‘Can you help me out? I need to take a nap.’ I think I napped for, like, five hours… Back in the day, I would have guilted myself about that, but I was like, ‘No, I need this.’”
She revealed that she just got some major news about her treatment.
Teddi said, “I just found out that I have to be doing immunotherapy for the next two years, but that my tumors are shrinking, so that’s incredibly good news. The dosage will switch, so I’m excited for that change because right now, it’s been every three weeks and it’s, you know, heavy dosage, so being able to rotate was a big celebration for me that I’m not gonna have days where I’m feeling kind of like I’m feeling today.”
