Teddi Mellencamp reveals her 'best way to bond' with her kids even as she battles stage 4 cancer
Teddi Mellencamp may be struggling with a stage four cancer diagnosis, but that doesn't mean she's not up for trying new things. The former reality star, 43, who proudly showed off her shaved head at the Gracie Awards, showed off her latest trick in a sweet video on social media as she and her son Cruz, 12, gave the Titanic Couple Challenge a try. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star showed a demonstration of a successfully completed stunt in which one person lies on the floor, lift their feet over their head and rests them on a second person's legs. Holding the hands of the second person, the first person straightens their knees and leans forward at an angle looking similar to the way Kate Winslet 's Rose and Leonardo DiCaprio 's Jack did in the Academy Award winning blockbuster. 'This is our second-ish try on something very special we want to do together,' the proud mom told the camera, and then speaking to her son she said, 'you think this is our sixth try?'

Mother and son both wore pajamas as they stumbled through the moves, but seemed to have good time doing it. Mellencamp white PJs with dark blue flowers, while Cruz looked comfy in green plaid bottoms and a white hoodie. The former reality star, who has worked as a personal trainer, had Cruz lie on the floor and roll backward. However, instead of putting his feet on his mom's legs, she had him put them on the lower part of her tummy across her transverse abdominus while Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On played in the background. They managed to get Cruz's head and torso off the ground, but even though his mom instructed him to 'straighten your legs,' he was unable to. However the tween laughed at the whole thing. After they abandoned the final try, Mellencamp began hamming it up and dancing for the camera and then when Cruz got up, she embraced him and made him dance with her for a moment, kissing the back of his neck. Cruz did a good job of trying NOT to look embarrassed. 'Really missed the kids and thought the best way to bond would be over a trend we couldn't do,' the fitness coach wrote next to the clip adding the hashtags #titanicchallenge and #mothersonchallenge. 'This made me cry. I don't think that was your intent, but it's just so sweet,' shared one fan of her reaction. While holding his mom's hands, Cruz rolled backwards and put his feet on his mom's torso 'Really missed the kids and thought the best way to bond would be over a trend we couldn't do,' the proud mom wrote on social media including the hashtags #titanicchallenge #mothersonchallenge When Cruz got up, she embraced him and made him dance with her for a moment, kissing the back of his neck. The 10-year-old did a good job of trying NOT to look embarrassed 'The hug at the end was honestly my favorite ❤️' wrote another. 'I have stage 4 cancer as well. Keep going Teddi❤️' revealed a fellow cancer warrior. Mellencamp's recent revelation indicates she may be able to face a lot more challenges with her kids. She shares Cruz, Slate, 12, and Dove, five, along with stepdaughter Bella, 15, with her estranged husband Edwin Arroyave. Mellencamp, who is the daughter of rocker John Mellencamp and actress Victoria Granucci, was first diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma in 2022, but her condition took a terrifying turn earlier this year when it progressed to Stage 4 after doctors discovered multiple brain tumors. In a recent video on social media, the patient revealed her tumors have significantly shrunk, and doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free. 'I just finished with all of my scans, and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work, and that I will be back to myself, and feeling good,' she told her fans on Instagram. Mellencamp who was initially told by doctors she had a fifty–fifty chance of survival revealed at the time she had two more sessions of immunotherapy, adding, 'and then hopefully I am done, and I will be cancer free.'

TV host Norah O'Donnell looked incredible in a bright red dress with a sweetheart neckline as she posed alongside Monica Lewinsky and journalist Jo Ling Kent. Teddi was first diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma in 2022, but her condition took a terrifying turn earlier this year when it progressed to Stage 4 after doctors discovered multiple brain tumors. However, Teddi recently revealed her tumors have significantly shrunk, and doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free. 'I just finished with all of my scans, and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work, and that I will be back to myself, and feeling good,' she shared in a video posted to her Instagram. Teddi — who previously revealed she was given a 'fifty-fifty' chance of survival — said that she has two more sessions of immunotherapy, adding, 'and then hopefully I am done, and I will be cancer free.' In February, multiple tumors were found on her brain and she underwent emergency surgery. Additional tumors were then discovered on her brain and lungs. Mellencamp was initially diagnosed with melanoma in 2022. The incredible news comes after Teddi admitted she was 'preparing her children for the worst.' Earlier this month she also revealed that her famous father John Mellencamp, 73, was planning her burial, asking whether she would be buried in the 'family mausoleum.' At the end of her new video Teddi shared: 'I am going to keep a positive outlook, because that's the way my doctor just spoke to me. He was like, "you did this. You got this."' Toward the end, she added that her doctor had jokingly reassured her, 'You got that Mellencamp blood, so you're good.' The reality TV star revealed that the tumors in her brain and lungs have significantly shrunk, and doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free The TV personality has been battling skin cancer since her diagnosis in 2022 and has kept her fans up-to-date with the journey on social media. Teddi, who previously said she felt she was on her 'deathbed', was pictured smiling in the video, as she told her fans the positive news, admitting that the happy 'crying' was already done. She sported a buzzcut, after having to shave her blonde hair for her surgery in February, along with a black Alo jacket and a white t-shirt. In her caption she wrote: 'One update I couldn't wait to share! All tumors stage 4 (metastasized melanoma in my brain and lungs) shrunk or disappeared so I have 6ish more weeks of immunotherapy and doctors believe I will be healed if everything stays on course.' 'Thank you to everyone who has sent their love, prayers, and positivity ❤️❤️❤️'. Teddi — who has already undergone more than 20 surgeries during her two and a half year cancer battle — also posted a gruesome image of stitches on her head following her brain surgery in February. Another image showed Teddi with her long blonde hair as she posed with pal Tamra, with the caption, '2 days before realizing I was living with multiple brain and lung tumors for over 6 months to a year.' After sharing the happy news, the grateful star also posted a snap with a pal as she thanked her 'loving friends and family who have been there for me through all of this.' The previous night, she had also shared a photo of her sister, Justice, at her hospital bedside after the surgery. Teddi appeared on ABC's Nightline last week and said that doctors have given her a 'fifty-fifty' chance on survival as she still receives immunotherapy treatment. During her interview, Mellencamp expressed: 'One of my favorite things to ask is "How long I got?" or "What are my chances?" and they oftentimes say "fifty-fifty."' 'Fifty-fifty? I wouldn't buy a car that's only gonna drive 50-percent chance of the time. I don't want this,' was her reply. Mellencamp said that her doctors explained the reason for those odds were that immunotherapy had only been around for about a decade 'and that's how long the study has worked.' The TV personality also shared the scary symptoms she had before learning she had several brain tumors. And the star shared them with her fans so they know how to react in case they suffer from a similar problem. Another image showed Teddi with her long blonde hair as she posed with pal Tamra Judge, with the caption, '2 days before realizing I was living with multiple brain and lung tumors for over 6 months to a year' After sharing the happy news, the grateful star also posted a snap with a pal as she thanked her 'loving friends and family who have been there for me through all of this' Mellencamp had debilitating headaches for months, until one day her vision was severely impaired: 'I couldn't see. I mean, I could barely get down the stairs.' The star quickly called her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, 47, who rushed her to the hospital. 'That's when they said I had four plumb-size tumors in my brain and then within the next day I was in surgery,' she told host Deborah Roberts. 'My first real memory was looking up and my entire family was there. My dad, my sister, my brothers, all of my best friends, and I'm being like, "Hold on, why are y'all here? And chatting? This must be bad,"' she explained with a chuckle. Since then she has undergone radiation therapy to shrink remaining tumors, including some in her lungs, ringing the bell to signal the end of that treatment in a video on social media. The couple have put their divorce on hold for now, and Arroyave is standing by his wife of some 14 years. On a recent episode of The Eds podcast, Arroyave revealed he was all in. 'People think that's hard, but for me, that's just what I do,' the entrepreneur explained. 'Like it's no matter what, I will always love Teddi and she's been a big part of my life. And I like taking care of people, it's just what I do. So it wasn't even like, a question.' Mellencamp and Arroyave are parents to daughter Slate, 12, son Cruz 10, and daughter Dove, five, along with Arroyave's daughter Isabella. In March, after more tumors were discovered in her brain and lungs, Teddi reportedly began preparing her kids for 'the worst.' 'Teddi is a fighter – anyone who has watched Real Housewives can attest to that,' Radar reported at the time. 'But it just saps her fighting spirit to think she had beaten this, only to receive another horrible diagnosis. She had told her children that mommy's sick, but she is going to be okay, and now it's tearing her up to lay out the dark truth to them.' 'Teddi does her very best to remain optimistic through her ordeals, but her main thought is with her family and beating this cancer for their sake.' Earlier this week the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star broke down in tears while discussing her three children this week. She began crying in a conversation with with Entertainment Tonight as she recalled explaining to her estranged husband: 'I'm like, "I don't think you understand the debilitating pain that I feel some days thinking about the fact that, like, my kids..."' 'That is extremely frightening. My kids are young,' she told reporter Nischelle Turner. Teddi remembered a particularly emotional moment when she was in the hospital after undergoing emergency brain surgery to remove several tumors. 'I was like, "I feel like today might be Dove's birthday,"' she recalled saying to her husband. 'And Edwin's like, "It is. It's her party today that you planned.'" Tears streamed down her face as she went on to say, 'And I was like, "Can they please just let me out for today?"' Earlier this month she revealed that her famous father John Mellencamp, 73, was planning her burial, asking whether she would be buried in the 'family mausoleum'; John and Teddi seen above in 2022 She credited Edwin with providing the perfect response: 'We'll throw another one.' On a recent episode of her Two Ts in a Pod podcast with Tamra, Mellencamp explained her dad had called to make sure she would be laid to rest in the family mausoleum. 'He goes, "Well you're doing your will right now, so you may as well put it in there."' In spite of the dark humor, Mellencamp said her father 'always taught me to be a fighter.' For now, the determined patient is taking each day as it comes. 'I think the biggest thing is don't take anything for granted. Normally, I'm used to running seven miles, today, I'm barely walking one, but you know what? I'm here and that makes me feel good. These are special times that we get to do any of this.' The TV personality has been battling skin cancer since her diagnosis in 2022 and has kept her fans up-to-date with the journey on social media.

Teddi Mellencamp looks unrecognizable in brunette wig and head scarf amid cancer battle
Teddi Mellencamp showed off a new look as she was spotted in Los Angeles. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 43, tried a new hair color and absolutely rocked a brown wig and white head scarf. The daughter of rocker John Mellencamp, 73, wore a denim vest with a pair of wide-leg lighter blue jeans. The new wig comes as Teddi has been battling stage 4 cancer. Mellencamp has been battling cancer since 2022 following a diagnosis of melanoma, which metastasized to her brain and lungs. Last week, Teddi delivered some good news on her podcast, 2 Ts in a Pod. 'Today I had the scan and where they checked my lungs and they are shrinking and one of them has shrunk so much you can barely even see it,' she said on her podcast. Mellencamp added, 'So it's really really good news. I'm definitely so relieved. I'm also a little bit like, if I sound a little weird, it's because I'm in the middle of them in a therapy treatment right now. 'But what they said was this is good news. That means my body is responding to everything. But I do need to live on immunotherapy for the next two years.' 'So every four weeks for the next two years, I have to come in and get that done. So and then every three months I get another scan and we check to make sure that everything is where it is,' she added. Teddi admitted she was a bit confused, adding, 'I thought that, like, once the tumors start going away, I'm like, so, does that mean I'm cancer free? And he's like no.' 'He's like you, we will let you know when you're in remission. But at this point, everything's just heading the correct way,' she added. Her podcast co-host Tamra Judge asked her if that cured the cancer or controlled it. 'It's making sure that it's getting smaller and then let's say that it gets so small that it disappears. It's making sure that it won't form anywhere else in my body,' she said. She added, 'The reason they were able to do this treatment on me, because remember radiation didn't work and the tumors were getting bigger, and like I was only able to get certain surgeries is because over at Cedars Clinic. 'There is everything in one spot. So because of that, they can do multiple treatments and figure out what works for you individually. So I think what ends up happening to a lot of people,' Teddi said. The update comes just a month after she said doctors gave her a 50/50 chance to survive her cancer. Over the weekend, Teddi put on a dazzling display of strength and style, stepping out to celebrate Kyle Richards' daughter Alexia Umansky's wedding with her Real Housewives besties.

The wedding of Kyle's daughter also comes weeks after Teddi admitted she was 'preparing her children for the worst.' Mellencamp and her estranged husband Eddie Arroyave are parents to daughter Slate, 12, son Cruz 10, and daughter Dove, five, along with Arroyave's daughter Isabella.
