Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is a television personality, podcast host, and accountability coach who has built a life shaped by candor, grit, and a stubborn belief in renewal. Born July 1, 1981, in Bloomington, Indiana, she grew up with her father, John Mellencamp, and Victoria Granucci, later finding her footing on Hilton Head Island. Fame arrived with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where she was a main cast member from seasons 8 through 10 and then returned as a guest in later years. Offscreen, she launched All In by Teddi, a lifestyle and fitness program, and later co-hosted the Two T’s in a Pod with Tamra Judge—a voice that threads wellness, truth-telling, and perseverance through pop culture’s noise.

Her personal life has been a study in resilience. Married first to Matt Robertson (2006–2010) and then to Edwin Arroyave (2011–separated 2024), she is a mother of three—Cruz, Slate, and Dove—and stepmother to Isabella. The past few years pressed hard: diagnosed with stage II melanoma in 2022, she underwent 17 skin-cancer surgeries. By February 2025, doctors faced brain and lung metastases, advancing to stage IV, treated with immunotherapy. In October 2025, she announced a cancer-free status, though she remains in treatment for the year ahead, mindful that the journey isn’t over, but the horizon looks brighter.

BravoCon 2025 found her at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, buoyed by support from friends like Kyle Richards. She admits to feeling nervous about what the weekend would bring, but the Vegas energy energized her too. “This is something I needed to do,” she told PEOPLE, later savoring the moment of being able to show up again. The moment wasn’t the end but a vivid chapter in a life defined by authenticity, endurance, and the stubborn belief that light returns after the hardest nights.
