Teddi Mellencamp Shares Uplifting Cancer Update — And How Her Family, Including Dad John Mellencamp, Is Standing Strong Beside Her

   

Reality star and wellness advocate Teddi Mellencamp is sharing a new update on her cancer journey — and this time, it comes with a message of strength, support, and good news.

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who has been open about her battle with stage 2 melanoma, revealed that her recent scans show promising progress. While the journey hasn’t been easy, Teddi credits her family — especially her father, legendary musician John Mellencamp — for keeping her grounded and uplifted throughout the process.

“My dad checks in on me every single day,” Teddi shared. “Whether it’s a quick call or a song he sends my way, I always feel his love. It means everything.”

In addition to John, Teddi’s husband Edwin Arroyave and their children have been her emotional anchors. She describes the family’s support as “unshakable” and says it’s made every hospital visit and difficult moment more bearable.

What makes this update even more inspiring is Teddi’s continued commitment to raising awareness. She’s used her platform not only to document her personal fight, but to urge fans to get regular skin checks, wear sunscreen, and never ignore suspicious spots.

Though she’s not entirely out of the woods yet, Teddi’s current outlook is bright — and her spirit is stronger than ever.

“This journey has changed me, but it hasn’t broken me,” she said. “I’ve never felt more loved.”
