RHOBH Star Teddi Mellencamp Says a 25-Year-Old Hit Her Up on Hinge

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp, 44, let fans peek into her dating life on Wednesday’s iHeartRadio podcast, revealing a 25-year-old Hinge match hit her with, "Hey, hey, what are you up to later?"

Teddi Mellencamp is back in the dating pool and, bless her, she’s telling us everything. On the Wednesday, April 1 episode of her iHeartRadio podcast 'Two T's In a Pod,' the 44-year-old 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum unpacked a week that included a bold Hinge DM from a 25-year-old and a slow-burn situation with what she calls the more mature guy. It ’s candid, a little chaotic, and yes, we’re talking read receipts and Samsung slander.

The 25-year-old DM (and Teddi’s mood about it)

Teddi says a 25-year-old hit her up on Hinge with the classic 'what are you up to later' energy. At first she was like, later as in tonight? No. Then she admitted he was attractive… until the age check. Cue the record scratch at 25.

She also wondered out loud if a 25-year-old is really going to be stellar in bed, then cracked that she’s felt pretty confident about her own skills since she started having sex at 16. That’s the level of oversharing we’re working with here.

The current front-runner: the 'more mature guy'

Here’s where it gets surprisingly specific: Teddi had actually started seeing another guy first, a while back. Then she detoured into a months-long thing with the younger guy. Once that fizzled, the first guy — the mature one — reappeared, just like he had been doing with his monthly check-ins, and she was finally in a place where she wanted something real. Since then, they’ve gone on four or five solid dates.

When her cohost joked that she meant they’d had that many hookups, Teddi deadpanned that if she’d had four to six good rounds in the last month, her mood would be wildly better. She even nudged her date through the airwaves that it might be time to pick up the pace on the intimacy front.

"Time to up the sexy time."

Texts, tech, and tiny red flags

Teddi clocked that this guy has his read receipts on — which, yes, is a choice — and that he’s using a Samsung. She joked that the phone alone almost made her reconsider the whole situation. Petty? A little. Relatable? Also a little.

For anyone side-eying the possibility of secret baggage, she addressed that too: she’s been to his house and is clear he’s not married.

Where this all lands (for now)

• Podcast check-in: Wednesday, April 1 on 'Two T's In a Pod' (iHeartRadio)
• The Hinge plot twist: a 25-year-old slid in with a same-night invite; she passed after the age reveal
• The main contender: a more 'real deal' guy she started seeing before the younger fling; they’ve had 4–5 good dates since regrouping
• Bedroom status: she joked the frequency could use an upgrade
• Phone etiquette: read receipts on, Samsung in hand — almost a dealbreaker in her book
• No secret spouse: she’s been to his place, and he’s not married
• Life context: Teddi separated from Edwin Arroyave in 2024 after marrying in 2011; they share three kids — daughters Slate and Dove, and son Cruz. Arroyave also has a daughter, Isabella, from a previous marriage. Amid the split, Teddi has been living with Kyle Richards.

Bottom line: Teddi’s dating life is exactly what you’d expect — a little messy, very honest, and sprinkled with the kind of hyper-specific details (hi, read receipts) that make podcast confessionals weirdly compelling.
