Teddi Mellencamp has admitted dating with stage four cancer is tough.
The 43-year-old former ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star is currently going through a divorce from husband Edwin Arroyave, while dealing with her illness, but she has praised her unnamed new boyfriend for his support.
Speaking to co-host Erika Girardi on her podcast ‘Diamonds in the Rough’, Teddi shared: “I’ve had to make it clear to people I’ve dated [that] this is where I am. This is what I’ve got. 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.
“I haven’t had to say any of those things, but he is really sweet and kind,” she shared. “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.
“[But] if for some reason you decide you need somebody that doesn’t have three kids, one million activities to do, 87 podcasts, you want more time than I’m able to give? 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.’”
And, Erika, 53, gave her seal of approval to Teddi’s new man.
She said: “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.’ He knows you differently than the rest of the people that watch you.”
