Teddi Mellencamp steps out with ex-boyfriend after sharing major health update amid cancer battle
Teddi Mellencamp has reunited with ex-beau Ricci Rea, three months after she announced their breakup.
The 44-year-old former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star — who just shared a health update — was clad in a patterned black onesie as they stepped out in Los Angeles.
She wore black Adidas sneakers with gum soles and covered her short crop of blonde hair with a black Alo cap.
For his part, Ricci was dressed in a white T-shirt, black shorts, and black sneakers.
He and the reality television personality held hands as they walked through the city's Encino neighborhood.
It comes just days after Teddi revealed her cancer is now undetectable after undergoing monthslong treatment for skin cancer that metastasized to her brain.

Amid her cancer battle and divorce from Edwin Arroyave, Teddi announced in early June that she had a new man in her life.
She spoke openly about her dating life during an episode of her Two Ts In a Pod podcast, which she co-hosts with Tamra Judge.
'I’m dating somebody,' she shared with listeners. 'He’s very kind to me, he’s taking good care of me. He’s nice, he’s not married, he doesn’t have any kids. But he’s also a private person.'
The mother-of-three opted to keep her new suitor's name private, explaining, 'I asked him, like, "Do I even say your name?" and he’s, like, it’s really whatever you want to do, like, "I know you’re a public person."'
Teddi first revealed that she was seeing a special someone in March. It's unclear if the man she spoke about in June was the same person.
But by July, the media personality shared on the Diamonds in the Rough podcast with Erika Jayne that the romance had ended.
She explained at the time, I don’t feel my best. So, when I have downtime, I want to rest.'
Teddi announced her split from her husband of 13 years, Edwin, in November.

On Monday Teddi took to Instagram to wish her firstborn child, daughter Slate, a happy 13th birthday.
She shared a video montage featuring photos with Slate throughout her childhood.
And the mom-of-three added in a heartfelt caption, 'I can’t believe my Angel is 13.
'While it feels like the time flew by, what you’ve been able to accomplish so far is beyond incredible.
'And you do it all with the biggest heart, the warmest smile, and a maturity far beyond your years.'
The sweet note continued, 'You are such a special soul, @slate_mellencamp_eq. Happy birthday. I love you. Now let me figure out how to stop time because I am not ready for the teenage years.'
When Is Steffy Coming Back to ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’?
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) has been out of town for months, and it’s time for her to come back home.
After Luna (Lisa Yamada) nearly killed her again, Steffy needed a break from the Los Angeles chaos. However, recent events have made it clear that the character’s return is on the horizon.

Steffy’s The Bold and the Beautiful Return Is Happening
The good news for Steffy fans is that the actress is back on set filming. As Parade reported, Wood returned to filming the CBS soap in September.
Producer Casey Kasprzyk shared a photo of Steffy back with her husband Finn (
Based on when Kasprzyk posted the picture on X, Steffy should be back on-screen any day, as The Bold and the Beautiful films anywhere from four to six weeks in advance.
Adding more fuel to the fire that Steffy will be seen soon, is her family learning that Luna is really alive.
Luna recently revealed her not-so-dead self to her bio dad Finn. There was also Taylor (
In true soap fashion, Ridge and Taylor being grateful Steffy was away for the time being means she’ll likely mark her return soon.
Based on how far in advance the show films and what we’re seeing pan out on-screen, it’s likely Steffy will be back in the mix in the next week or two. However,

Why Did Steffy Leave ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’?
The last time Steffy was seen on screen was on July 28, when the character said goodbye to Finn before she took off on an extended trip. There was a very good reason Steffy was temporarily written out the show.
In real life, Wood needed to go on maternity leave after revealing earlier this year that she was pregnant with her fifth child with Elan Ruspoli. The actress hasn’t shared any information about the baby, including the date of birth.
Life is going to look a lot different for Steffy when she returns to The Bold and the Beautiful. Li (Naomi Matsuda) keeping Luna alive has had a dramatic ripple effect, and neither Finn nor Steffy has found out what she did yet.
Along with the Luna drama waiting for her, Steffy will have to deal with the fact that Ridge not only dumped Taylor again, but he literally married Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang
It’s not going to be the welcome home Steffy wanted, but it sets the stage for an interesting storyline that’s for sure.
