Reak Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp is recovering after having ‘multiple’ brain tumors removed.

And her estranged husband Edwin Arroyave shared a concerning health update Thursday about how the reality TV star is doing.

‘All I will say right now is surgery went well,’ Arroyave wrote in a social media post. 

‘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.’

Edwin, 47, and Teddi, 43, are currently in the process of divorcing after 13 years of marriage and two children.

But that didn’t stop the founder and CEO of Skyline Security Management rushing to be by the reality TV star’s bedside as she underwent emergency surgery following a years-long battle with skin cancer.

Before having emergency surgery to remove two of the larger tumors, Teddi was visited by her loved ones and close friends.

Edwin also rushed to the hospital to be by Teddi’s side and their kids also comforted their mother shortly before the procedure. 

In a photo shared to Teddi’s main Instagram page, Edwin could be seen standing next to her as she rested in a hospital bed. 

She lifted her arm to place her hand on the back of his neck as his own gently laid on her shoulder. 

In the caption, Arroyave wrote: ‘Jeremiah 17:14: Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.’ 

‘Lord, I lift up @teddimellencamp to You. You are the Great Healer, and I ask for Your healing touch upon her body.’

‘Restore her strength, renew her spirit, and let her feel Your comforting presence. Grant her peace, hope, and full recovery. In Jesus’ name, Amen,’ he concluded. 

Edwin also shared a short clip to his Instagram stories which featured their youngest child Dove. 

On Thursday, the 47-year-old entrepreneur, who is the founder and CEO of Skyline Security Management, responded to the 'many people asking' about how the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 43, is doing

He filmed her asking, ‘Dad, are you gonna stay here?’ and he replied with, ‘Yeah, this is my bed. This is where I sleep.’ 

Arroyave then panned the camera slightly to show that he was sitting on a couch as his daughter questioned, ‘Are you gonna watch mama because she doesn’t like staying alone?’ 

‘Yeah, we’re watching mama,’ he answered as he turned the phone camera to show Teddi laying in the hospital bed while surrounded by her other children and close friends. 

‘Is she gonna wake up and watch TV?’ Dove then asked, with Edwin responding with, ‘Yeah, she’s going to watch TV.’ 

The video concluded with Arroyave telling their youngest child, ‘Thanks for visiting us baby doll,’ and she sweetly replied with, ‘You’re welcome.’

And shortly after, a source claimed to DailyMail.com that Mellencamp had an affair with her horse trainer Simon Schroeder. 

The Real Housewives alum broke her silence after news of the alleged cheating scandal came to light.

Along with a glammed up selfie, she added a cryptic caption which read, ‘When you’re being pushed into the shadows always find your light.’

Also in November, a separate insider told Us Weekly that Teddi and Edwin had been in couples therapy ‘for years’ before announcing their separation.

Earlier this month on The Skinny Confidential podcast, Mellencamp further reflected on their separation. 

‘Me and Edwin had some of the most amazing years and the most amazing times, and when we met it was hot and it was all the things, and then there would be somebody else.’ 

‘And I’d be like, ‘It’s okay, I’m gonna work through it, I’m gonna make him love me more!’ Then you have kids and things happen,’ she said.

‘Probably at the point in time when Edwin was ready to start working on it and really change, I probably stopped. But I never told him I was checked out. I think that’s the problem.’

Teddi explained that Arroyave had started working on himself to save their marriage, but admitted, ‘I think I had resentment or animosity or fear of ever being open again, so then I just closed off.’ 

Following Mellencamp’s health update this week, her friend Tamra Judge took to X to share a photo of the pair and wrote, ‘Please keep @TeddiMellencamp in your prayers. Love you, my friend.’ 

The two stars co-host their podcast called Two T’s In a Pod and during Wednesday’s episode, Judge explained that Teddi would be going on a ‘brief sabbatical to deal with some health stuff.’

‘I’ll allow Teddi to tell her story when she’s back,’ she said before breaking down in tears. 

‘But you all know how much she loves this podcast and wants nothing more than for us to continue on recording while she focuses on her health.’ 

On Wednesday, Teddi took to Instagram to reveal that multiple brain tumors have been found after she was suffering from severe headaches for weeks.

In a statement, she wrote: ‘For the last several weeks I’ve been dealing with severe and debilitating headaches. Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization.’

‘After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months.’

‘Two of the tumors will be surgically removed today – The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date.’

She added, ‘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.’

‘Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey.’
