Teddi humorously remarked on the intertwined nature of their memories, saying, “It’s funny that your memories are coming to my house and my memories are going to yours.” She shared that her most cherished event of the year was Shep’s family Christmas party, emphasizing the significance it held for her.
She vividly described the experience, likening it to “getting into the Met Gala.” At 43, she recounted how Shep would meticulously check the guest list to ensure their entry, adding a sense of excitement to the festivities.
Shep also reminisced about joyful moments spent at the Mellencamp residence. “Teddi had a great house on the beach,” he fondly remembered. “We would all ride our bikes over there and jump in the pool,” highlighting the carefree and fun-filled days they shared.
Teddi, who is a devoted mother to her children—Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 5—whom she shares with her estranged husband Edwin Arroyave, clarified the nature of her relationship with Shep. She emphasized that their bond was strictly platonic, ensuring fans understood their friendship.
“I’m one of the only people in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina that did not make out with Shep,” she humorously told her fans, to which he jokingly responded, “That’s true. It’s very unfortunate. I know it’s one of your biggest regrets.” This light-hearted banter showcases their comfortable relationship.
Regarding her health journey, Teddi shared updates on her recovery following surgery last month to remove some masses. She began radiation treatment on March 17, targeting additional tumors that were discovered in her brain and lungs, illustrating her resilience and determination during this challenging time.
