TheReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsstar has been staying with Kyle Richards intermittently after filing for divorce from Edwin Arroyave, she revealed on the first episode ofErika Girardi’s podcastDiamonds in the Rough.

But instead of the guest house or a spare bedroom, she says she’s been sleeping in Richards' glam room.

While discussing Girardi filming something in the space, she asks Mellencamp, “Is that where you’re sleeping?”

Girardi is shocked and says she figured she was staying “in the house out back,” but Mellencamp counters that she likes the unconventional space.

“Isn’t that great up there?. It’s so cozy. Isn’t that a dream up there?” she says.

While the setup may be unconventional Mellencamp is grateful to her host. “Thankfully, Kyle has let me do that,” she says before adding with a laugh, “You can’t make this s— up.”

The reason Mellencamp found herself in need of a place to stay is due to her current co-parenting arrangement with Arroyave.
