We’re all still trying to wrap our heads around the fact that Teddi Mellencamp had an affair with her horse trainer and is divorcing Edwin Arroyave. Now, the latest update on her life is even more surprising. She’s living with Kyle Richards!
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star spilled all of the tea about her new life during the debut episode of her podcast, Diamonds in the Rough, which she hosts with Erika Jayne. During the premiere, she explained why she’s suddenly resting her head at Kyle’s, and it’s definitely not the reason you’re all thinking.
Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp are living together
Although there are a million Housewives podcasts in the universe, Teddi and Erika dedicated this new show to talking about Teddi’s messy marital situation. Within the first five minutes, Erika asked Teddi, “How was your Thanksgiving?”
Obviously, it wasn’t great. Teddi shared how it was the first Thanksgiving in 15 years that she didn’t spend with Edwin. Then, she started diving into the nitty-gritty of her day-to-day life as a soon-to-be divorcee.
“So I live at Kyle’s,” Teddi told Erika, who replied, “Do you really? Holy sh*t!”
Of course, Kyle has plenty of space in her house right now. Her estranged husband has moved out of the house. Some of her daughters have also flown the coop. Why wouldn’t Kyle invite her bestie to have a long-term sleepover?
Teddi said she was thankful for Kyle’s hospitality, and she gushed about how cozy the space was. Then, she explained the real reasoning behind the surprise living arrangement. It’s for the well-being of her children.
According to Teddi, she and Edwin are “nesting,” meaning the kids live an uninterrupted life while the parents take turns leaving the family home. We saw Gina Kirschenheiter do this on The Real Housewives of Orange County, and apparently, it really works.
“So I just zip on over. It’s close. It’s easy. She cooks — sometimes,” Teddi added.
Most importantly, Teddi said that the arrangement has been working out “really well for the kids.” Keeping the kids happy will always be her main focus.
