Teddi Mellencamp’s Estranged Husband Edwin Arroyave Confirms He’s Dating Again After Split

Edwin Arroyave is dipping his feet back in the dating world after his separation from Teddi Mellencamp.

“I am dating someone, yeah,” Arroyave, 48, shared on the Tuesday, October 14, episode of iHeartRadio’s “The Ed’s” podcast. “It’s pretty serious.”

While Arroyave didn’t share further details about the mystery woman in his life, guest Joe Gorga joked that he should take his date to Las Vegas for a night of comedy when he performs at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club during BravoCon in November.

“I’ll put you in the front row for the show,” Gorga, 51, said.

“OK, front row, you got me. Now you’re speaking my language with front row,” Arroyave joked while laughing. “Maybe I will take her to Vegas. I was actually thinking about that.”

Mellencamp, 44, filed for divorce from Arroyave in November 2024 after 13 years of marriage. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

The former couple continue to coparent their three children together: Slate, 13, Cruz, 11, and Dove, 5. Arroyave also has a daughter from a previous relationship, 15-year-old Bella.

Arroyave’s relationship with his estranged wife changed even more when she revealed in February that she was battling stage IV melanoma, which metastasized to her lungs and brain.

After seeking treatment, Mellencamp revealed on the October 3 episode of iHeartRadio’s “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast that her latest scans showed no detectable cancer. She will, however, stay on immunotherapy for the near future.

“It’s been a crazy year for us,” Arroyave reflected in his latest podcast with cohost Eddie Judge. “First came the separation. Then we found out about the cancer about five months after that. The cancer came, and we put a stop to [our divorce] until we figured that part out. Her health comes first.”

Arroyave said he still lives with Mellencamp “90 percent of the time,” partly to make sure that “she’s taken care of and the kids are taken care of. And then I go back at the end of the night to my other house.”

“We’re going through it,” he added. “But we just got some great news last week.”

The support has not gone unnoticed by Mellencamp, who has also started dating since filing for divorce.

In an Us Weekly cover story this past April, the reality star thanked her estranged husband for all of his support during a challenging time in her life.

“I’m really lucky that Edwin, who I was in the middle of a divorce from, we put everything on hold. [It] wasn’t really the time to be fighting over emails,” she said. “He’s been extremely kind and helping with the kids. That’s made things a lot easier.”

Mellencamp continued, “He’s been there for me a hundred percent, he’s been there for the kids, and we’re back to laughing. We call it the ‘Divorce Chronicles.’ And I want to talk [to him] about the kind of girls [he’s] going to marry … because if these people are going to take care of my kids, this is what I want, and this is the definition of what I don’t want.”
