Edwin Arroyave is giving an update on ex-wife Teddi Mellencamp after the Real Housewives alum underwent brain cancer surgery.

Taking to his Instagram Stories on Thursday, February 13 Arroyave, 47, shared that the surgery “went well.”

“So many people asking for updates. All I will say right now is surgery went well,” he wrote. “That said, I’ve never seen @teddimellencamp in so much pain. She’s finally getting some needed rest. I know she is so grateful for the outpouring of love.”

In an earlier post shared via his Instagram Story, Arroyave uploaded a photo of the estranged couple’s son Cruz, 10, holding up a card that he and his classmates had made for his mom as she recovers.  (Arroyave and Mellencamp, who filed for divorce in November 2024 after 13 years of marriage, also share Slate, 12, and Dove, 4. Mellencamp is also stepmother to  Arroyave’s eldest daughter Isabella.)

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum 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.

Elyse Jankowski/FilmMagic The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp is undergoing brain surgery after being diagnosed with several tumors. “I’m gonna have this look on my bucket list,” Mellencamp, 43, quipped in a Wednesday, February 12, Instagram Story video as her friend shaved off her hair. “My best look. I hate to break […]

“I am blessed to be surrounded by my children, family, friends, doctors, nurses and surgeons who are doing everything possible to get me back into better health,” she added. “Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey.”

The reality star’s health news comes two years after Mellencamp battled stage II melanoma cancer and shared her diagnosis in October 2022. Several months before announcing the diagnosis, she had a mole removed on her back that revealed the cancerous cells.

While she had the moles removed at the time, she developed new spots that she said “needed to be biopsied” and spent much of 2023 dealing with that. Throughout 2023, Mellencamp underwent removals for more melanomas before having a “wide excision melanoma” procedure, which “went well.”
