For a few years, Teddi Mellencamp was the face of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but since her departure, followers have wanted to learn more about the star. Teddi was often seen as sitting on the fence during her time on the hit Bravo show. While she had a few feuds, fans mostly found her boring, ultimately resulting in her being fired.
During her last season, the mother of four had been very open with her social media followers about numerous issues regarding the series. Teddi faced major backlash from RHOBH fans for her comments against Denise Richards, and was one of the few cast members to receive a cease-and-desist letter from the James Bond actress. Teddi ended her run as a housewife while pregnant with baby number 3, and while it wasn’t easy to deal with the women, she hung in there.
Teddi’s Background
Teddi was born in Bloomington, Indiana, but brought up in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Teddi was raised by the famous American singer John Mellencamp and Victoria Granucci, and has four siblings. RHOBH fans may recall that Teddi once stated she was not a fan of her dad’s music when she was younger. As a young child, Teddi spent much of her time as a competitive equestrian, which she began at the age of three years old. Teddi attended the prestigious Hilton Head Preparatory School, which is the same as Southern Charm’s Shep Rose.
Teddi’s Love Life
Teddi was first married to filmmaker Matt Robertson. The wedding took place in Indiana back in June 2006. Sadly, Teddi filed for divorce in July 2009, and the divorce was finalized in 2010. Inside Weddings reported that the former couple first met on a blind date. In 2011, Teddi met and married Edwin Arroyave, the CEO and founder of Skyline Security Management. The couple now has three children together named Cruz, Slate, and Dove Arroyave. Teddi is also a stepmother to Edwin’s daughter, Isabella Arroyave.
Teddi’s Job
Now that Teddi is no longer a RHOBH star, the mother of four has committed herself to being an accountability coach. She has started a health program called, All In with Teddi Mellencamp. Teddi has credited the program for helping her lose weight after giving birth, but the diet has come under fire for being overly restrictive. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Teddi has also launched a podcast with The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Judge called “Two T’s In a Pod.”
