Reality TV star Teddi Mellencamp has been spotted with a new guy during a stroll in Encino, California, making fans curious. This sighting happened months after she revealed her split from husband Edwin Arroyave in November 2024, after being married for years.
Mellencamp, famous for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has started to talk about her life after divorce, including dealing with a major health issue and getting back into dating. Her recent public outing with an unnamed man seems to be another move forward in her personal life.
People who saw them said the two looked relaxed and close as they walked. They wore casual clothes. The man put his arm around Mellencamp as they strolled. This fits with what Mellencamp said before about starting to date again.
In March, on the Diamonds in the Rough podcast, she hinted she might have a new love interest. She talked about going on a second date with someone.
She said,
"[I've] already been on more dates with new people. 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," she revealed. "He's really cute and nice."
When did Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave separate?
Teddi Mellencamp met Edwin Arroyave, the CEO of a security company, in December 2008 thinking it would just be a short meeting. Their connection grew stronger though, and they ended up getting married in 2011. Together, they had three kids: two daughters Slate and Dove, and a son Cruz. After being married for over ten years, Mellencamp announced on Instagram on November 2, 2024, that she planned to file for divorce.
“I was tricked a little bit because when I first saw Edwin, he had a beanie cap on,” Teddi told Yahoo! Lifestyle in 2019. “And then when I saw him the next morning, the beanie was off and there was a ponytail hanging out the back. I thought after that night that that was just one of those [stories] that you tell your girlfriends, ‘Maybe I’ll hang out with him one more time.’”
