Following her latest cancer-related health update, Teddi Mellencamp and her ex-boyfriend, Ricci Rea, reunited. These two engaged in a relatively brief relationship that began last May. But only a handful of weeks later, this Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum was back on the market. So, is she testing out the waters with Ricci again? Here’s what we know.
Teddi Mellencamp and Ricci Rea broke up in July
Teddi and her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, tied the knot in 2011. In 2024, Teddi filed for divorce. Currently, their proceedings are on hold, thanks to her ongoing battle with Stage 4 cancer. Nevertheless, Teddi and Edwin are separated, and both parties are back in the dating pool.
But dating during her cancer battle was taxing for Teddi, so she and Ricci failed to go the distance. “Right now, it started getting to the point where it’s starting to get a little bit more serious. I don’t have the capacity for this right now,” she explained, detailing why she and Ricci ultimately decided to part ways.
As for her cancer journey, last week, Teddi received a promising health update from her medical care team. At this point, cancer is no longer detected anywhere in her body. Following this happy announcement, Page Six captured Teddi and Ricci enjoying an afternoon stroll in a Los Angeles neighborhood. This outing marks their first public appearance since their split in July.
As Teddi earlier shared, Ricci “couldn’t be a nicer guy. He’s very kind to me. He’s taking good care of me.” So, whatever is happening here, we are glad that Ricci is back in her orbit.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock.
