10 Reasons Why Teddi Mellencamp Isn’t As Boring As Everyone Thinks

Teddi was really excited to show her friends how far she’s come as a social media influencer and accountability coach this season when she invited the ladies to her retreat; sadly that success was overshadowed by all of the glam drama between Kyle and Dorit. In real life Teddi continues to climb though: All In is now a multi-million dollar company that has changed more than 10,000 lives.

Teddi might not throw her celebrity connections out there for the world to see, but having grown up with John Cougar Mellencamp as a father definitely gets you in with the famous-set. When Teddi isn’t busy building her business or convening with the ladies at their various parties, she can be seen out at art gallery exhibits (John paints too), or at other coveted events attended by the crème de la crème in Beverly Hills.

Depression, pregnancy, poor eating habits and plenty of other factors can contribute to weight gain, and Teddi experienced many of them after moving to one of the world’s most famous zip codes. She has spoken in the past about how she weighed more than 200 pounds after her son Cruz was born; the weight only came off after she made a conscious decision to change her lifestyle. If that doesn’t speak to her grit and determination, what does? "I got into a mindset where I was motivated, and I wanted to feel motivated every day,” she told Prevention last year. “If you can commit, that’s when transformation happens."

The other women may be jealous of Kyle and Teddi’s “couples therapy” sessions or the fact that they sometimes share a bed during those epic getaways, but if you look at it from another perspective doesn’t everyone want a bestie that they can be that close with IRL? Kyle and Teddi’s friendship is goals to be sure, and the fact that Kyle has always been one of the show’s fun housewives should speak loads to Teddi’s personality too.

Now that Lisa Vanderpump is no longer on the show, pink seems to be up for grabs. Maybe that’s why Teddi added some rose hues to her hair while in quarantine, recently? Either way the housewife has definitely never been afraid to switch things up and to add a little fun to her look. If you ask us that’s far from boring.

Teddi has been riding horses since she was three years old, and has been passionate about the animals ever since. When she first joined the show we got to see a bit more about that aspect of her life, but it’s been a while since we’ve gone back. Sure, it’s a bit hard to ride horses when you’re pregnant and all, but here’s hoping we get to see more of that equestrian side of her in the future.

It’s fair to call Teddi’s personality blunt — that is what makes her a great accountability coach, after all. But on the series when she tells it like it is, her words have been known to stir up some drama. That’s because everyone knows that in Beverly Hills no one wants your real opinion… not if it conflicts with your rosé-coloured view, anyhow.

Sometimes as a viewer it seems like you need a shot just to witness how some of the antics unroll when the housewives get drinking. So you can only imagine Teddi’s situation given that she couldn’t drink this year due to her pregnancy. As it turns out being the sober one gave her quite the unique perspective: she was actually able to remember everything and wound up being the memory bank for the other ladies. Now, it’s safe to say she’s going to have some pretty epic (and accurate!) stories coming out of season 10.

Meghan McCain may be a fan of the Housewives, but she has made her dislike of Teddi pretty clear in the past. We hate to admit it, but we were totally entertained by the Twitter war that ensued. And while we’re happy the ladies have buried the hatchet and put their feud to rest, it’s important to remember that Teddi is definitely not afraid to bring it.

The other ladies may not have been as excited about Teddi’s pregnancy as she was (hi there, Sutton), but her journey to motherhood has been an emotional one to be sure. The housewife has spoken openly about parenting, pregnancy, breastfeeding and the ups and downs that come with being a mom, making her one of the most relatable Housewives of them all. And, considering her extravagant 90210 zip code, that’s definitely saying something.
