What Teddi Mellencamp’s boyfriend thinks of her stage 4 cancer battle after being slammed for dating
Teddi Mellencamp expressively praised her latest partner, responding assertively to critics who had voiced disapproval about her dating during cancer treatment.
In a recent interview on the Diamond in the Rough podcast hosted by iHeart Radio on Friday, the former Real Housewife of Beverly Hills discussed the limits she has established during her ongoing cancer treatment at Stage 4.
She clarified to those she’s been romantically involved with, “This is my current situation – this is all the time and energy I have available.
As a lifestyle expert, “I’m doing my best with what I have, and I understand everyone’s needs are different. If it suits you, wonderful! If not, please know that I’ll still respect your choice and feelings. After all, this is the limit of what I can offer.
43-year-old influencer has three kids – Slate (12), Cruz (10), and Dove (5) – who she shares with her separated spouse, Edwin Arroyave (48).
Speaking from the heart of a devoted admirer, I’ve noticed that while she hasn’t explicitly named him, the gentleman she’s been spotted with is nothing short of delightful. He’s the epitome of sweetness and kindness, qualities that have me rooting for them!
She mentioned that he arrived to collect them last week straight from the horse show. It was apparent that she wasn’t feeling well, as he spent seemingly endless hours watching horse show performances. She described him as a kind person.
‘I know I deserve it, and it’s really nice,’ Mellencamp added.
If the newcomer feels overwhelmed by it all, the social media star indicated that she would be sympathetic.
Should the rare occasion arise where you find yourself yearning for someone who’s not juggling a brood of three, a packed schedule filled with activities, and 87 podcasts, or simply craving more time than I can offer – I get it,” I shared with my dear co-host Erika Jayne.
In my own words, I’d express it as: “If that had been the situation, I wouldn’t have held a grudge against you for a single moment.
It appears that her new companion is committed for the long term, as he expresses, “I’m ready to make any sacrifices necessary just to be with you.
In my latest podcast episode, “Two Ts in a Pod,” I shared some uplifting updates and a few setbacks regarding my cancer journey with my dear friend and co-host, Tamara Judge.
Based on her latest MRI results, it appears that her tumors haven’t expanded at all. In fact, they seem to be reducing in size. This puts her in an exceptional 1% group with noticeable improvements.




After a course of immunotherapy for her cancer, the certified wellness coach frequently experiences fatigue and weakness, as a result of previous radiation treatments.
In February, surgeons extracted four brain tumors from her, yet some tumors persisted in her brain and lungs.
Despite the advancements, Mellencamp was informed by her doctors that her cancer remains at stage 4.
Despite her dignified response, the personal trainer expressed her secret hope that the news wouldn’t be what she received – she wished they would tell her something other than what was said. In essence, she was hoping to hear words like, “Wow, it’s a miracle! You are now cancer-free.
