teddy mellencamp Feel grateful to celebrate another New Year. After experiencing a “near death” encounter in 2025, this Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum has changed her mind. Above all other resolutions, Teddy now hopes to see his world changed not by drama, but by “grace”.
Mentally and physically, 2025 was one of Teddy’s lowest years ever. Originally diagnosed with skin cancer in 2022, last year, Teddy’s cancer journey took a new, terrifying turn: Stage 4 melanoma with tumors appearing in her lungs and brain alike. Now, Teddy is ringing his bell for 2026 in more ways than one.
Teddy has a lot of gratitude as we head into 2026
“2025 was not my year. Being close to death takes its toll on you. But as I close, I’m trying my best to be grateful for every moment I’ve had since then,” Teddy wrote, posting a collection of photos from the past year.
Teddy then admitted that he’s “not sure what will happen in 2026.” Regardless, she’ll “never stop sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly with you. Being open and vulnerable helps me cope, and hopefully helps any one of you know that no matter what you’re facing in life, you’re not alone.”
Lastly, Teddy urged his followers to be conscious of their health. As she emphasized, “And of course, it’s also a reminder to get a skin check. Have you made your 2026 appointment yet? Then, in a separate postTeddy further announced, “My word for 2026: Grace.”
Teddy admits that “2025 was tough.” So now, she seeks “Grace for myself. Grace for others. Grace, even when my mind is telling me to give up.”
