Teddi Mellencamp Addresses Headlines She Wants to Date Kevin Costner: "Just in Case..."
RHOBH alum Teddi Mellencamp joked about wanting to date the actor on an episode of her podcast.
Teddi Mellencamp is sounding off on those rumors that she wants to date Kevin Costner.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum addressed the headlines on her Instagram Story on December 2. "Me reading 'Teddi shoots her shot with Kevin Costner" after making a joke on a podcast," she wrote alongside a selfie. She also shared a tongue-in-cheek photo on her Instagram grid. "Gonna binge Yellowstone just in case K. Costner reads Page Six…" she captioned the picture.
The speculation Teddi is referring to came from a recent episode of her and Tamra Judge's podcast, Two Ts in a Pod.
The podcast co-hosts discussed Sutton Stracke's recent comment on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show that Kyle Richards wanted to "hook up with Kevin Costner" when she was in Aspen at the same time as the actor.
Kyle denied what Sutton said, but on the podcast, Tamra joked that Teddi was "free" to date him.
"Kevin, if you’re listening, my Instagram name is @teddimellencamp," Teddi teased in response.
Page Six picked up Teddi's podcast comments and the rest, as they say, is history.
Teddi Mellencamp shares an update on her divorce from Edwin Arroyave
Teddi would be "free" to date the actor as she is currently separated from her husband of 13 years, Edwin Arroyave.
The former diamond holder announced her split from the entrepreneur on Instagram in early November (and she formally filed paperwork on November 1, per E! News).
"After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce," she shared in her statement on Instagram. "My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter. Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest and vulnerable was the best path forward."
In the weeks since she confirmed her split, Teddi has shared a few comments about her divorce. On the November 5 episode of her podcast, Teddi said that she wasn't going to publicly discuss what happened between her and Edwin.
"At this point, I'm obviously only going to share what I share on social media, and I just am trying — I don't even know how to say this eloquently — but I am trying to make sure that my kids' privacy is protected right now," she said.
However, on the November 13 episode of the podcast, she said that there are "multiple sides to every story."
"Like there's so much that I am not ready to process or talk about or involve the kids in," she said. "But, you know, I'm sure with time there will be more conversation. And I hope in this time we can just understand, even saying that much was a lot for this moment."
Fast-forward to November 24, and Teddi took to her Instagram feed to open up about the emotional split.
"I have cried and mourned," she wrote over a video of herself working out. "I have taken accountability and apologized for things I have done wrong...Now I have given myself permission to grow and thrive."
She added, "I have decided to not pander to the media and tell my side because in the big scheme of things. Click bait means nothing and of course 3 sides to every story. How I can stand up and show up for the people that do matter does. This is called being an adult. This is what saying it with my full chest means."
