Kyle Richards Pays Moving Tribute to Teddi Mellencamp on Her 44th Birthday

Teddi Mellencamp is officially 44 years old, and her BFF, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Kyle Richards, is excitedly celebrating her. 

Kyle took to Instagram on Teddi's birthday, July 1, where she posted so many old and new photos of her and Teddi together. In the snaps, Teddi and Kyle can be seen riding in a private plane, sleeping, posing on vacation, hanging out in the snow, and sharing so many laughs together. She then took to the caption of the post, where she penned the sweetest tribute to her.

"I am so incredibly grateful that you were placed in my life," she wrote. "We shared an instant bond that is so rare and special."

She continued, going on to address Teddi's battle with Stage 4 melanoma and tumors on her lungs and brain, which have "shrunk so much" since her February diagnosis. "This last year you've shown so many what real strength and faith is," she continued. "I am in total awe of you."

"I love you and am honored to walk through all life's ups and downs with you. May ALL your wishes come true Ted," she concluded.

This left Teddi emotional. "Tears," she wrote in the comments of the post. "Mexico soon."

Teddi Mellencamp opens up about turning 44 after "pretty rough" year 

Teddi took to her own Instagram account on July 1, where she reflected on the past year, while showing how her birthday got off to a great start. Teddi posted a photo of her cuddling in bed with the three kids that she shares with her ex-husband, Edwin Arroyave — daughters Slate and Dove, and son, Cruz.

"43 was pretty rough, but couldn't ask for a better start to 44 with world's best cuddlers," she captioned the sweet photo.

How Teddi Mellencamp celebrated her 44th birthday

The podcast host had celebrated her birthday days earlier with her friends over "linner" at Larsen's Steakhouse in Encino, because it was her "kiddos day off." Teddi and some of her closest friends dined on food and a horse-themed cake before she was surprised with her very own peach colored Labubu named "happiness."

Teddi took to Instagram the next day, where she posted a series of photos with her friends and her Labubu. "It's always a special birthday when I get to spend it with my girls...but this one was extra special because I GOT MY FIRST LABUBU," she wrote in the caption of the post. "And don't you worry, I got cute little outfits coming its way."

Teddi posts a series of photos of her opening a Labubu on her birthday to her Instagram Story.
