Tamra Judge Breaks Down in Tears of Joy Over Teddi Mellencamp’s Cancer Update: “This Is Everything”

Real friendship shines brightest in the toughest moments — and Tamra Judge just proved that once again.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star became emotional on a recent episode of the Two Ts in a Pod podcast, sharing her heartfelt reaction to best friend Teddi Mellencamp’s latest cancer treatment update. “I’m crying tears of joy,” Tamra admitted, voice cracking. “This is the news we’ve all been praying for.”

Teddi, who has been publicly battling stage II melanoma and undergoing treatment following brain surgery, recently shared a major milestone in her health journey. While she didn’t reveal all the medical details, the update was hopeful — and for Tamra, overwhelming.

“I’ve seen her at her strongest and her most vulnerable,” Tamra said. “And through it all, she’s never stopped fighting. Never stopped showing up. She’s my hero.”

The friendship between Tamra and Teddi has become one of Bravo’s most genuine bonds — on screen and off. From podcast laughs to hospital visits, their sisterhood has resonated deeply with fans.

As Teddi continues her path to recovery, Tamra’s message is clear: she’s not walking it alone. And honestly? Neither are any of us.
