The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Tamra Judge is sharing some bold updates about Teddi Mellencamp’s dating life. Tamra is so close to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, who has been going through her cancer journey. And she is so happy for her as she navigates this chapter in her love life.
Tamra appeared on The Real Housewives of Orange County After Show after RHOC Season 20, Episode 14, where she revealed that Teddi had been on the dating apps before going official with her boyfriend, PJ Conley. “She’s obsessed with dating younger guys now,” Tamra said of her 45-year old-friend, as seen in the video above. “But Teddi’s like, dating 30-year-olds. I’m like, ‘What are you doing?!’ I’m like, ‘You are your dad’s child, aren’t you?'”

Who is Teddi Mellencamp’s boyfriend?
Teddi is dating PJ, a 31-year-old man living in California, who has met all of the important people in her life and her ex-husband, Edwin Arroyave. “He got along effortlessly with the fam, like my brothers, my sisters, my dad,” Teddi said during an Aug. 12 podcast episode. “It was fine. I mean, Edwin definitely gave him a one little zinger, I think. Edwin was like, ‘Oh, you got done with your finals in time.’ It’s peaceful, it’s fun, it makes me laugh.”

Teddi shared an update on her relationship when she spoke with Extra in September 2026. “PJ’s great. He’s really fun. It’s like one of those things where I’m able to look forward to something to do after 4 p.m., which is difficult for me,” she said. “Things are going pretty well. I don’t have any complaints.”

While Teddi has been having fun dating, she has also been focusing on her health amid her battle with Stage 4 cancer. Tamra shared an update on her cancer journey during the RHOC After Show. “I mean it’s hard, because I see the days where she can’t get out of bed,” Tamra said of her podcast co-host.
“She’s still going through treatment, so every four weeks she does immunotherapy, which is about three or four hours where she sits, much like chemotherapy, but much less invasive on the body,” she continued. “But I do believe she’s gonna beat this. 100 percent. Immunotherapy and radiation shrunk the tumors, and now it’s hoping they don’t come back. So they’re keeping her on immunotherapy for an additional year. And I think she has about 10 months left of that. And it makes her sick, it makes her weak, she’s got two good weeks, she’s got two bad weeks, and she does it all over again. She’s struggling with who she was before she got cancer and who she is today and the loss of memory, and I just want her to be back to her normal self.”
