Teddi Mellencamp was ‘spoiled’ by her children as she celebrated Mother’s Day in relaxing fashion. 

The reality star, 43, is in the midst of a heartbreaking battle with stage four cancer however was able to treat herself to a well-deserved day of self-care at the West Hollywood hotel Pendry. 

Teddi – who shares daughters Slate, 12, Dove, five, and son Cruz, 10, with estranged husband Edwin Arroyave – kicked off the day with gifts from her three children, followed by breakfast at Mel’s Dinner with the kids before heading to Pendry for some self-care. 

‘The kiddos spoiled me,’ she wrote alongside a snap of her children with her presents. ‘Feeling so happy and blessed.’  

The gifts included a red light therapy face mask, a pink bathrobe, and a bottle of Dr. Teal’s bubble bath. 

The goodies were perfect for Teddi’s Mother’s Day plans – she headed to Pendry for some fun in the sun.

Teddi, who attended iHeartRadio’s 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango the day previous, enjoyed a relaxing Mother’s Day 

She provided fans with a tour of her luxurious accommodations, which included a scenic view of Los Angeles. 

‘@pendrywesthollywood never misses – thank you for this cozy mommy relaxing day,’ she said, tagging two women who appeared to be her friends.

She then headed up to the rooftop for a poolside relaxation session.

‘Shaded up and sunscreen on! @pendrywesthollywood why are you such a dream,’ she posted.

Last month Mellencamp shared an incredible health update with fans, as she revealed that her tumors — resulting from melanoma that had metastasized to her brain and lungs — have significantly shrunk, and doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free.

‘I just finished with all of my scans, and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work, and that I will be back to myself, and feeling good,’ she shared in a video posted to her Instagram.

Teddi — who previously revealed she was given a ‘fifty-fifty’ chance of survival — said that she has two more sessions of immunotherapy, adding, ‘and then hopefully I am done, and I will be cancer free.’

In February, multiple tumors were found on her brain and she underwent emergency surgery. Additional tumors were then discovered on her brain and lungs. Mellencamp was initially diagnosed with melanoma in 2022.

The incredible news comes after Teddi admitted she was ‘preparing her children for the worst.’ Earlier this month she also revealed that her famous father John Mellencamp, 73, was planning her burial, asking whether she would be buried in the ‘family mausoleum.’

At the end of her new video Teddi shared: ‘I am going to keep a positive outlook, because that’s the way my doctor just spoke to me. He was like, “you did this. You got this.”‘

Teddi, who previously said she felt she was on her ‘deathbed’, was pictured smiling in the video, as she told her fans the positive news, admitting that the happy ‘crying’ was already done.

The night prior Teddi shared on Instagram that she was ‘sad and scared’ but also staying ‘positive’ ahead of the MRI that would reveal whether her treatment was working.

Teddi — who has already undergone more than 20 surgeries during her two and a half year cancer battle — also posted a gruesome image of stitches on her head following her brain surgery in February.

Last month Teddi appeared on ABC’s Nightline and said that doctors have given her a ‘fifty-fifty’ chance on survival as she still receives immunotherapy treatment.

During her interview, Mellencamp expressed: ‘One of my favorite things to ask is “How long I got?” or “What are my chances?” and they oftentimes say “fifty-fifty.”‘

‘Fifty-fifty? I wouldn’t buy a car that’s only gonna drive 50-percent chance of the time. I don’t want this,’ was her reply.

Mellencamp said that her doctors explained the reason for those odds were that immunotherapy had only been around for about a decade ‘and that’s how long the study has worked.’

The TV personality also shared the scary symptoms she had before learning she had several brain tumors.

And the star shared them with her fans so they know how to react in case they suffer from a similar problem.

Mellencamp had debilitating headaches for months, until one day her vision was severely impaired: ‘I couldn’t see. I mean, I could barely get down the stairs.’

The star quickly called her estranged husband, Edwin, who rushed her to the hospital.

‘That’s when they said I had four plumb-size tumors in my brain and then within the next day I was in surgery,’ she told host Deborah Roberts.

‘My first real memory was looking up and my entire family was there. My dad, my sister, my brothers, all of my best friends, and I’m being like, “Hold on, why are y’all here? And chatting? This must be bad,”‘ she explained with a chuckle.

Since then she has undergone radiation therapy to shrink remaining tumors, including some in her lungs, ringing the bell to signal the end of that treatment in a video on social media.
