Teddi Mellencamp, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has been facing a difficult health battle after undergoing emergency surgery to remove two brain tumors. Her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, confirmed that the operation was successful, but she has been left in “so much pain.” Teddi, who had been experiencing “severe and debilitating headaches” for weeks, was diagnosed with multiple tumors after seeking medical help for the excruciating pain. Doctors believe the tumors had been growing for at least six months before they were discovered.
Teddi is surrounded by a strong support system, including Edwin and their three children—Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4. She is also a stepmother to Edwin’s daughter, Bella, 15, from a previous relationship. Teddi comes from a large family, including siblings Justice, Michelle, Hud, and Speck. Justice recently shared her thoughts on Teddi’s surgery, calling the experience “horrific” and adding, “I’ve tried to get back to everyone who has reached out & I know Teddi will share her journey when she is ready. She is by far the strongest person I know”, reported by the Daily Star.
