Teddi Mellencamp Details Support from Edwin Arroyave, Dad John Mellencamp Amid Cancer Battle
Teddi Mellencamp is still living with her ex husband, Edwin Arroyave, while battling stage 4 cancer -- and says she's okay with him dating other women while he does it.
On a July 29 episode of the Jamie Kern Lima Show, Mellencamp opened up about the pair's living arrangements after her split from her ex-husband and amid her battle with stage 4 cancer.
"We're staying in the house together," Mellencamp confessed.
"Some weeks he'll stay in our other house but this week I told him I'm really sick and he's like staying downstairs in the bedroom at our house right now," she added.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star mentioned how easy it's been for the duo to live together and how open she'd be to him dating someone else.
"We can live in the same house. We don't argue," she continued, "I would be fine with him dating."
However, when Lima asked if Arroyave would be open to her dating, Mellencamp said, "I don't know. We've talked about it."
The reality star previously crashed at her close friend Kyle Richards' house during her split with Arroyave, but the situation changed when Mellencamp was diagnosed with brain tumors and stage 4 cancer.
"I always knew he'd do the right thing by me," she said.
"If he wanted to, he could still be filing and finishing this divorce off right now. But, my dad and family just said like, 'I don't think this is the right thing for her to be able to try to navigate right now or figure out,'" she continued. "It was like, 'Yeah, of course. No, we'll wait. We'll wait until she's better, and then we'll figure it out.'"
Mellencamp's father, singer John Mellencamp, has also been a strong support system for his daughter during this tough time.
"The things that I wouldn't be capable of doing without my dad, not only for financial reasons, I used to take such pride in saying I've done all of this on my own," she opened up.
"With all of these medical treatments and everything, he has stepped in. He's helped me have a nurse. He calls me every single day. He makes sure that I'm OK," she added.
When asked about her prognosis, Mellencamp told Lima, "I would say probably 50-50."
"But I truly believe this when I say this, and it's going to make me emotional, I truly believe that I'm going to live," she added. "I think that I'm going to have some rough years. Truthfully, I think I'm going to have some lonely years because not many people know how to talk to somebody who has stage 4 cancer."

Lisa Rinna Talks Hair Confidence, Experimenting With Styles in Campaign With Bumble and bumble
In another universe, Lisa Rinna would gladly grow her hair long and dye it black à la Demi Moore. In reality, she'd rather not commit; that's what wigs are for anyway. Instead, the 62-year-old actress prefers to keep her trademark spiky, above-the-shoulders cut with lots of layers. 'I've had the same haircut for so many years, I found what works for me,' she told WWD over a phone call. 'It's a lot more fun to experiment.' More from WWD Serena Kerrigan Talks With Neutrogena About New Steamy Romance Series Introducing Almave Humo, Lewis Hamilton's New Non-alcoholic Mezcal Alternative Nike's Wildly Colorful Cactus Plant Flea Market Collaboration Is Coming Soon Short, Anderson .Paak bowl cuts, bombshell Marilyn Monroe-inspired blond, micro bangs, bobs and most recently, Moore's long hair — the 62-year-old actress has, indeed, tested almost every style imaginable, changing in and out of wigs like outfits. 'As an actor, I love to play characters, but when you get to be of a certain age, the acting jobs don't come in as frequently as you might like them to. So, it's been fun for me to express myself and to play these characters,' she explained. As statement-making as these personas are, her natural style is an integral part of her personality. 'My hair is pretty iconic,' Rinna said, referencing the cut and her muddy brown and blond coloring. Yet, she's never partnered with a hair care brand — until now. Announced in July, the former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star is teaming up with the prestige brand Bumble and bumble for her inaugural partnership. 'I believe in working with people that you connect with, and that you have some sort of affinity with. I love the Bumble and bumble products; I have for many years. And so, it felt right to me when they came to me and said, 'We'd love to partner with you,'' Rinna said. Some of her favorite Bumble and bumble products include the Sumo Liquid Wax and Finishing Spray, priced at $37, and the hero product at the center of this campaign, the Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Heat Protectant Leave-In Conditioner Primer, priced at $34. The spray, specifically, has been like a new 'toy' for Rinna to mess around with. She's swapped her classic pomade for the liquid wax, using it to mold sections of her hair, while the primer oil has helped restore moisture and shine to her head after she spontaneously dyed her hair platinum last year. 'At this point, you never think you're going to find new hair products that excite you, especially when you've had the same hairdo for 25 years or more. So, it was really a pleasant surprise, and now I can't live without it,' she said of the hair wax. 'When I went platinum, it trashed my hair, and so I had to use a lot of treatment to get my hair back, and one of them was the primer oil. It's been really great.' The primer oil is powered by Bumble and bumble's Featherlight 6-Oil Blend, which works to add shine, detangle knots and protect against UV rays and heat. According to Bumble and bumble, Rinna's campaign responds to rising consumer demand for multifunctional, simplified hair care products and routines that aren't overpowering or damaging in the long term. Bumble and bumble credits itself as a leader of this movement since its inception in 1977 in New York City. More than that, the brand and Rinna plan to use their union to inspire new beauty standards that encourage creativity and confidence as the reality star models. 'All I can ever do is show by example of what I do,' Rinna said. 'And so I think that if that helps anyone or teaches anybody something or gives somebody an idea to try something different, I'm all for it. I do what I do. So, if it affects somebody positively, I think that's a nice goal.'

Denise Richards Accuses Estranged Husband Of Leaking Her Explicit Photos, Violating Restraining Order
Denise Richards has filed a court motion requesting that her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, be compelled to return her personal belongings. The two are currently embroiled in a contentious divorce, during which Phypers allegedly stole Richards' laptop, cellphones, and other personal items and leaked nude photos of her to media outlets. Denise Richards claims that Aaron Phypers' actions have left her in "extreme distress" and "greatly disturbed." Denise Richards Accuses Her Estranged Husband Of Leaking Her Nudes Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers' divorce continues to escalate with the reality star's latest court move. According to Us Weekly, Richards filed a motion on Monday asking the court to compel her estranged husband to return personal belongings he allegedly took from her. This includes her cellphones, laptops, and other recordings currently in his possession. More importantly, Richards is also asking the court to prohibit Phypers from distributing any material from those devices. In her filing, Richards accused her estranged husband of already "disseminating to numerous news organizations on multiple occasions" some of the private information from her devices in his possession. She claimed that one such leak included a photo of her with her "breast completely exposed" and another showing her "buttocks," both of which were used in a story by one of the outlets. The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star also noted that another leaked item was an image of her phone being held by Phyper's hand and displaying her private text messages. Denise Richards Claims She Is In 'Extreme Distress' And 'Greatly Disturbed' Further arguing her case, Richards claimed that her estranged husband's actions have taken a serious emotional toll on her. "I am in extreme distress and greatly disturbed since Aaron has been repeatedly disseminating private text messages stolen from my laptop after the TRO has been issued and I have warned him numerous times not to disseminate any information from my cell phone or laptop," she said. Richards also reminded the court that she had previously obtained a restraining order against Phypers earlier this month and that his alleged actions should be seen as a violation of the order and a "criminal act." She added, "Aaron accessing my private information on my laptop and disseminating the information is not only abuse and a violation of the TRO, but the disseminating of nude photographs is a criminal act." The filing also included an ultimatum to Phypers to return the items to her by the end of July 29. Aaron Phypers Has Denied The Accusations Responding to the allegations, Phypers told US Weekly that Richards' claims were "untrue" and aimed at smearing his reputation. "I absolutely deny the false allegations that I violated the restraining order or stole Denise's laptop or cell phones," he said. Phypers continued, "These claims are not only untrue — they are being weaponized to damage my reputation and distract from the truth." Aaron Phypers Claims Denise Richards 'Conjured Up' False And 'Hurtful' Claims Against Him He had also previously denied the claims from Richards about him physically abusing her during their marriage, which she mentioned in her plea for a restraining order. At the time, he claimed that it was all "conjured up" and that he had the "real evidence." "Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone," he shared. Phypers added, "These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue." Aaron Phypers Accused His Estranged Wife Of Cheating Earlier this month, Phypers filed for divorce from Denise Richards, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split and also requesting spousal support. Weeks later, he hinted at the reasons behind his decision in a candid interview with them Daily Mail, where he accused Richards of having an affair with a former Special Forces soldier, Rudy Reyes. He claimed the months-long affair took place during Richards' time on the reality competition show, "Wild Thing," and that he discovered "107 raunchy texts" between her and the individual. Phypers also opened up about how the discovery affected him, saying he was left "broken-hearted" by the alleged betrayal by Richards, whom he married in 2018. "Really, she's f-cked me up," he shared. "We've been together nine years, and for her to do that and to lie to me consistently -- I'm totally tired and drained." Solve the daily Crossword
