Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp made a stunning and emotionally charged return to the public eye at BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas, just months after revealing her stage four brain cancer was now undetectable.
A Triumphant Red Carpet Moment
The 44-year-old reality television personality, who has been undergoing intensive cancer treatment throughout the year, looked radiant as she walked the red carpet on Friday. Teddi chose a textured golden brown skirt suit that showcased her long legs, layering a nude camisole beneath the blazer, which she wore with the sleeves casually rolled to her elbows.
Her appearance was particularly poignant as she proudly displayed her growing pixie haircut, a testament to her journey after shaving her head in February ahead of emergency brain surgery. Speaking with Extra, Teddi provided an uplifting update on her health, describing her significantly improved condition as nothing short of a 'miracle'.
An Emotional Health Update and Message of Hope
'I feel so beyond grateful that I'm feeling better and that I'm able to be there more for my kids and my family,' she shared, her gratitude palpable. The mother-of-three, who shares daughters Slate, 13, and Dove, five, and son Cruz, 11, with ex-husband Edwin Arroyave, emphasised the crucial role her support network played. 'I have such amazing friends and support system that's really gotten me through,' she added.
In early October, Teddi revealed the incredible news that her cancer was undetectable following months of treatment for skin cancer that had metastasised to her brain. Offering advice to others facing a health crisis, she said, 'There's going to be good days and there's bad days. And you're not alone.' She passionately urged people to 'go get your checks because knowledge is key,' and humbly noted, 'I think I'm in the 1 percent' of patients for whom the treatment proves so effective.
Strength in Friendship and Family
Teddi was accompanied by her close friend and fellow Real Housewives star, Kyle Richards, 56, who spoke about the importance of a strong support system during such a challenging time. 'When you have those days when you're feeling down, [it's helpful] to be able to reach out to those people and say, "I'm feeling down today," and we'll go over and pick her up and drag her out to go on a walk or go for frozen yogurt,' Kyle explained.
The convention, held at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, was a celebration for Teddi, who shared behind-the-scenes footage on Instagram with the caption, 'living my best BravoCon life.' She was also pictured sharing a laugh with Kyle and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star Erika Jayne, 54.
Her cancer battle began after a 2022 melanoma diagnosis metastasised, leading to the discovery of large brain tumours. The effects had been present for six months, during which Teddi suffered from migraines but pushed through the pain. She has documented every step of her treatment and recovery publicly, offering a raw and inspiring look at her fight for her life.
