Kyle Andy Edwin amp More Show Support for Teddi Mellencamp

Teddi Mellencamp's husband Edwin Arroyave, Kyle Richards, Andy Cohen and more are showing support after her brain tumor diagnosis.

Teddi Mellencamp is getting support and well wishes from her family and friends after sharing that she has "multiple tumors" on her brain following her previous battle with melanoma.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on Bravo.

The mom of three initially confirmed the health matter on her Instagram feed on February 12. In her statement, she noted that she was going into surgery that day to get two of the larger tumors removed.

Teddi's former castmate on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards, went to the hospital with her on the day of her operation.

"Love you [Teddi Mellencamp,]" Kyle wrote in an Instagram Story showing her holding hands with Teddi in the hospital room. Teddi has been living in Kyle's home part-time as she navigates her separation from her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave.

Kyle and Teddi's close friend, Morgan Wade, was also in the hospital room as Teddi prepared for her surgery.

Andy Cohen shows support for Teddi Mellencamp

Andy Cohen gave Teddi his Mazel of the Day on the February 12 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

"We know Teddi's undergoing surgery tonight and is facing this challenge with courage and humor, surrounded by her family and close friends," he said at the end of the episode. "Teddi, your Bravo family, your Watch What Happens Live family is praying for you, too. We are sending you all our love and positive wishes. You are so strong. We love you and we are supporting you."

Tamra Judge's message for Teddi ahead of her operation

Teddi's podcast co-host, The Real Housewives of Orange County's Tamra Judge, took to her Instagram feed to ask her followers for their thoughts and prayers.

"Join me in praying for [Teddi Mellencamp] as she goes into surgery today. Please also pray over her beautiful kids. Teddi Jo, I love you so much and can’t imagine my life without you — you’re the little sister I never had and the best friend anyone could ask for. Sending all the love, positive vibes, and healing energy your way," Tamra wrote before adding a hashtag for the "prayer circle."

Tamra also posted an Instagram Story featuring a photo of her and her podcast co-host. She wrote, "Please keep [Teddi Mellencamp] in your prayers. I love you my friend."

Teddi Mellencamp's husband Edwin was by her side at the hospital

Edwin initially reacted to Teddi's diagnosis in a post he shared on his Instagram Stories. "Thank you for all the prayers and love for [Teddi Mellencamp]," he wrote alongside a video of him and their youngest daughter, Dove Arroyave, in Teddi's hospital room.

Later, as Teddi prepared to head in for surgery, she shared a lighthearted video on her Instagram Stories of her getting her head shaved ahead of the operation.

"Didn't have this look on my bucket list," she said as she showed her shaved head. "My best look."

She joked that she was going to give her brother, Hud Mellencamp, a "run for [his] money" after shaving her head.

Teddi later posted a video of her sitting with Kyle, Morgan, Edwin, and a few other friends in the final "10 minutes" until the operation. The podcast host was joking around with her loved ones about giving away her hair extensions ahead of the serious operation.

What happened to Teddi Mellencamp?

Teddi revealed her brain tumor diagnosis on social media on February 12. "For the last several weeks I've been dealing with severe and debilitating headaches. Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization. After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months," she wrote on Instagram. "Two of the tumors will be surgically removed today — The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date."

Teddi added, "I am blessed to be surrounded by my children, family, friends, doctors, nurses and surgeons who are doing everything possible to get me back into better health. Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey."

Teddi was previously diagnosed with melanoma (aka skin cancer) in 2022. She has chronicled her health journey, from her detection tips to surgeries, on her Instagram feed ever since. In December 2024, she shared that her latest three-month check had come back clear for the first time since her initial diagnosis.
