Remember those paparazzi photos of Teddi Mellencamp packing on the PDA with a mystery man in Los Angeles? They looked like two giddy teenagers kissing in the middle of the sidewalk. Well, it turns out that this guy is making Teddi really happy, and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum just gushed all about it on her podcast, Diamonds in the Rough.
On the podcast, which she hosts with former RHOBH castmate Erika Jayne, Teddi confirmed that she’s still “dating the same guy” who she was smooching on the sidewalk a few weeks ago. She still hasn’t revealed his name, but at the moment, it sounds like he’s doing all of the right things.
Teddi Mellencamp’s new boyfriend is “a good guy”
Teddi gushed, “He came and picked us up this week from the show, and he could tell that I was down. He sat and watched, like, one million hours of horse show rounds. He’s just a good guy. I know I deserve it, and it’s really nice.”
According to Teddi, the most important thing for her was finding someone who could accept her for where she’s at in life right now. Things are complicated, to say the least. She needs someone willing to accept it. So far, this guy seems to be down for the ride.
“I’ve had to make it clear to people I’ve dated [that] this is where I am. This is what I’ve got,” Teddi noted. “If it’s enough for you, great. If it’s not enough, I won’t be upset. I mean, yes, my feelings will probably be hurting, but this is all I got to give. And if that’s enough, great.”
“If for some reason you realize you need somebody that doesn’t have three kids, 1 million activities to do, 87 podcasts, you want more time than I’m able to give? I understand,” Teddi said to Erika. “I would not be mad at you for not even a second. He’s like, ‘I am willing to do anything to be able to spend time with you.’”
Although Teddi hasn’t publicly shared the guy’s name, Erika revealed that she has met this new love interest. He got her stamp of approval, and we all know she’s a great judge of character.
“Do you know what he said to me in the driveway when I first met him? ‘Teddi’s such a really good girl.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, she really is,’” Erika shared. “He knows you differently than the rest of the people that watch you.”
If Teddi is happy, we’re happy. We’ll be even happier when we get the full-blown boyfriend reveal. At the bare minimum, give us a name, Teddi!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
