Mellencamp Spotted on Date in Encino Following Divorce Announcement

ENCINO, Calif. — Former ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star Teddi Mellencamp was photographed on a date with a mystery man during a walk in Encino, California, earlier this week. The sighting comes months after she announced her impending divorce from her husband, Edwin Arroyave, in November 2024.

Mellencamp, 43, was seen wearing a taupe jacket and a Los Angeles Fire Department baseball cap. Her date was dressed casually in a white T-shirt, black baseball cap, and sunglasses. Photos captured the pair strolling side by side, with the man holding Mellencamp close.

Sources close to the situation confirm that Mellencamp is dating someone new, though it does not appear to be anyone connected to her previous circle. A representative for Mellencamp did not respond to requests for comment.

On March 21, during an episode of her podcast, Mellencamp shared details about her dating life. She mentioned she had gone out on multiple dates, saying, “He’s really cute and nice.”

In an Instagram post from November 2, 2024, Mellencamp addressed her divorce from Arroyave, stating, “After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce.” Her focus, she added, remained on her children and maintaining their privacy.

This latest public outing follows a difficult period for Mellencamp, who confirmed in April 2025 that she was undergoing treatment for stage 4 melanoma after it metastasized to her brain and lungs. During her recovery, she reported feeling both strong and vulnerable at times, expressing gratitude for the support she has received online.

Despite her health challenges, Mellencamp remains optimistic about her dating life and navigating her new chapter.
