\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tTeddi Mellencamp is moving on with her life. In the months since her separation from estranged husband Edwin Arroyave, Mellencamp has started dating again \u2014 even amid her battle with cancer. As of July 2025, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum is dating TV producer Ricci Rea. The two were first photographed cozying up [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cWell, no one can say that was a staged picture, because if it was staged, you wouldn\u2019t have been wearing that outfit,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, between my outfit and his mustache, it\u2019s a doozy of a sitch,\u201d Mellencamp agreed.<\/p>\n
Mellencamp was first spotted with Rea in June before his identity was finally uncovered a month later. But no sooner did Rea\u2019s name become public that Mellencamp announced she had \u201ccalled it off.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\nRea was Mellencamp\u2019s first public relationship since her split from Edwin Arroyave<\/strong> after 13 years of marriage. The two share kids Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 5.<\/p>\nShe said in July that she ended things with Rea when she realized the relationship was becoming more consequential.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, it started getting to the point where it\u2019s starting to get a little bit more serious. I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t have the capacity for this right now,\u2019\u201d she explained. \u201cHe\u2019s a really nice guy, couldn\u2019t be a nicer guy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Teddi](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Teddi-Mellencamp-Addresses-Reunion-With-Ex-Boyfriend-Its-Nice-to-Have-Comfort.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")
