Teddi Mellencamp's Boyfriend Stands by Her Through Stage 4 Cancer Battle

Teddi Mellencamp Spills the Tea on Her New Beau and Cancer Battle: "He's Willing to Do Anything to Spend Time with Me"

In a candid conversation with Erika Jayne on iHeart Radio's Diamond in the Rough podcast, Teddi Mellencamp opened up about her new romance and her ongoing cancer battle. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 43, who is currently undergoing treatment for Stage 4 cancer, revealed that she has set clear boundaries with her beau, but he seems to be willing to put in the effort to make their relationship work.

"I've had to make it clear to people I've dated [that] this is where I am. This is what I've got," Mellencamp explained about her limitations of time and energy due to her cancer treatment. "If it's enough for you, great. If it's not enough, I won't be upset. I mean, yes, my feelings will probably be hurting, but this is all I got to give. And if that's enough, great."

The influencer, who shares three children with her estranged husband Edwin Arroyave, revealed that she has found a kind and supportive partner in her new beau. "He came and picked us up this week from the horse show, and he could tell that I was down. He sat and watched, like, one million hours of horse show rounds. He's just a good guy," she gushed.

When asked if there are any red flags or concerns about dating while undergoing cancer treatment, Mellencamp set the record straight: "I know I deserve it, and it's really nice. But if for some reason you realize you need somebody that doesn't have three kids, 1 million activities to do, 87 podcasts, you want more time than I'm able to give? I understand."

In a surprising move, Mellencamp revealed that her new beau has expressed his willingness to adapt to her busy lifestyle: "He's like, 'I am willing to do anything to be able to spend time with you.'"

In other news, Mellencamp shared some hopeful updates on her cancer battle. According to thescholarlynote.com, she recently underwent an MRI and was thrilled to learn that her tumors have not grown at all - in fact, they're shrinking! "I'm in the one-percent range of improvement," she beamed.

However, despite this positive news, Mellencamp still has Stage 4 cancer. She revealed that doctors removed four tumors from her brain in February, but others remain in her brain and lungs. Despite this, she remains optimistic about her future: "I think I believe I'm going to go in and they're gonna say 'wow, it's a miracle and you no longer have any cancer.'"

As Mellencamp continues to navigate her cancer treatment and new romance, fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on her journey. With her signature candor and humor, the social media star is inspiring countless others with her strength and resilience.
