Teddi Mellencamp has a new boyfriend

Speaking on her 'Two Ts In a Pod' podcast, which she co-hosts with Tamra Judge, Teddi said: "I'm dating somebody. 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."

Teddi noted her new man had claimed not to know she was in the public eye when they first met, and she had decided to keep his name under wraps so he could retain his privacy.

She said: "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 is battling stage four cancer but revealed last month her tumours had all either "shrunk or disappeared".

She wrote on Instagram: on Instagram: "One update I couldn't wait to share!

"All tumors stage 4 (metastasized melanoma in my brain and lungs) shrunk or disappeared so I have 6ish more weeks of immunotherapy and doctors believe I will be healed if everything stays on course.

"Thank you to everyone who has sent their love, prayers, and positivity [heart emojis] (sic)"

And shortly afterwards, the former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star confirmed she is "doing great" and feeling much better.

She told People magazine: "I'm actually doing great. I had immunotherapy two days ago and they did another round of scans and they said all my tumours are continuing to shrink, so I'm feeling good and I'm happy.

"This the last round of the intense immunotherapy and then I'll be doing immunotherapy for the next two years, every four weeks, but it's like half the dosage that I'm currently on, so then I think it's just going to get easier and easier on me."

Asked recently whether immunotherapy was controlling or curing her cancer, Teddi replied: "It's both.

Speaking on 'Two Ts In a Pod', she explained: "It's making sure that it's getting smaller and then let's say that it gets so small that it disappears, it's making sure that it won't form anywhere else in my body.

"I was a little bit worried about having to live on immunotherapy because you know how I am when I get super emotional on certain days. But I think that the fact that this is all moving in a smooth path forward is really good news."
