It has been a hard time for RHOBH alum Teddi Mellencamp, as she has battled cancer over the last year and a half. At the same time, she was going through a split with her husband, Edwin Arroyave. Now, she has hard-launched a new man whom she has referred to as ‘Valley Guy.’ So, what does he look like, and how did fans react to him? Keep reading for more details and to see who has stolen her heart.
Teddi Mellencamp Wanted To Heal
Since 2022, Teddi Mellencamp has shared her battle with melanoma. It caused a massive scar all down her back and then, in 2025, metastasized to her brain and lungs. The former RHOBH star was fortunate enough to have a great community rally around her. This included her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, and past co-stars who were by her side. She also shares three children with Edwin: Slate, Cruz, and Dove. Although it seemed she had met someone in the midst of her marriage ending, that seemed to end along the way.
Now, she has a new man, and she is sharing him with the world. Teddi has talked about him on her Two Ts In A Pod podcast, which she co-hosts with Tamra Judge. Then, she headed to one of her father John Mellencamp’s shows, and her new man joined her. His name is PJ Conley, and she introduced him to her followers via an Instagram slideshow. In the caption, she wrote this:
Kyle Richards joined Teddi for the evening, while her children were off with Edwin in another area. One thing that was clear was how happy Teddi Mellencamp appeared with her new man. Moreover, he looked like he was really enjoying the show and his night out with his lady. Immediately, fans wanted to know if this was THE ‘Valley Guy,’ which it was.
