Teddi Jo Mellencamp is a reality television personality, fitness coach, actress, and social media influencer best known for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where she appeared for three seasons. She is also widely recognized as the daughter of iconic rock musician John Mellencamp.
Born on July 1, 1981, in Bloomington, Indiana, Teddi Jo Mellencamp was given the name Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave by her parents, John Mellencamp and Victoria Granucci. Her parents divorced shortly after her birth in 1981. Raised primarily on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, Teddi developed a passion for outdoor sports from a young age and became a competitive equestrian.
She has several siblings, including her sister Justice Mellencamp, as well as two half-brothers, Hud and Speck, and a half-sister, Michelle. At age 17, Teddi achieved a significant milestone by winning a prestigious stakes class event in horseback riding. Later, she gained early career experience working for prominent talent agencies, including Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and United Talent Agency (UTA).
Teddi's career took a turn toward the spotlight in 2017 when she joined season 8 of the Bravo reality series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a main cast member. She appeared alongside notable personalities such as Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne, and others. Her down-to-earth attitude and focus on wellness made her a memorable presence on the show.
Since her television debut, Teddi has appeared on numerous talk shows, including The Wendy Williams Show, Strahan & Sara, and Home & Family. In 2019, she made her feature film debut as Mrs. Stallings in the family drama Next Level. She has also been involved with entertainment segments on shows like Celebrity Page and Steve.
Parallel to her television appearances, Teddi established herself in the wellness industry with her company, All In by Teddi, a lifestyle and accountability coaching program. The brand promotes fitness and weight-loss coaching through structured programs and daily check-ins. However, the company has drawn criticism over the years for its practices.
Health professionals and former clients have raised concerns regarding the program’s transparency and lack of certified coaching staff. Reports allege that the program encourages extremely low-calorie diets, with some clients claiming they were limited to only 450 to 500 calories per day. Nutrition experts, including registered dietitian Abby Langer, have publicly cautioned against such restrictive dieting, stating that it poses considerable health risks.
Additionally, Mellencamp hosts the Teddi Tea Pod, a podcast where she discusses pop culture, personal development, and family life, further expanding her influence in the lifestyle and wellness space.
