Terry and Heather Dubrow have shared a brief update on Teddi Mellencamp after she underwent surgery to remove brain tumors.
Speaking to TMZ on Saturday, February 22, the couple shared that things were looking “positive” at the moment for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum.
“Well, obviously any information about Teddi will be given out by her family but what we do know is that, we heard a little bit of good news today, which we’re really happy about and we’re sending all of our good wishes and thoughts to Teddi and her family,” Heather, 56, told the outlet.
While the couple didn’t share specifics about Mellencamp’s current condition, Terry echoed the sentiment that things are going as well as they can be, given the seriousness of the situation.
“What we do know is she’s extremely brave. And we heard that she’s turned the corner a bit,” Terry, 66, said, adding: “So it’s very… I think very positive right now. Things are definitely looking up, we understand.”
Mellencamp, 43, publicly revealed her health battle earlier this month, sharing via her Instagram that she was undergoing brain surgery after doctors found tumors.
“For the last several weeks I’ve been dealing with severe debilitating headaches,” Mellencamp, wrote on February 12. “Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization.”
She explained that after getting a CT scan and an MRI, “Doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months.”
In the post, Mellencamp added that two of the tumors were being removed in surgery that same day, while the others will be dealt with afterwards.
“The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date,” Mellencamp wrote.
Mellencamp’s estranged husband Edwin Arroyave and their children have been by the reality TV star’s side throughout her health battle. (Mellencamp filed for divorce from Arroyave in November 2024 after 13 years of marriage and they share kids Slate, 12, Cruz, 10 and Dove, 4. Mellencamp is also a stepmother to Arroyave’s eldest daughter Isabella from a previous relationship.)
Arroyave, 47, has been posting several updates about Mellencamp’s health, including revealing that she is “beyond grateful” after undergoing brain tumor surgery.
“Our family is thankful to everybody for your continued prayers and well wishes,” Arroyave wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 17. “Teddi is beyond grateful for the outpouring of love while she continues to recover.
