Teddi Mellencamp celebrated her 44th birthday with family and friends on Sunday and Monday amid her ongoing stage 4 cancer battle.
On Sunday, the Two Ts in a Podcaster kicked off her festivities with a fully-clothed morning leap into the backyard pool of her $6.5M Encino marital home with her 10-year-old son Cruz.
Teddi's estranged husband Edwin Arroyave filmed all the action as their three children presented her with handwritten birthday messages and presents in bed.
Little Cruz procured Mellencamp a pair of Beats headphones and her 12-year-old daughter Slate gave her a black quilted purse, which curiously had cash inside.
The nepo-baby of John Mellencamp - whose suitcase was packed for a family trip - then headed to 'linner' with her BFF/co-host Tamra Judge as well as six other gal pals.
'I accidentally keep telling people I am turning 34 instead of turning 44. Maybe it's the steroids. Maybe it's wishful thinking. You decide,' Teddi - who boasts 1.2M Instagram followers - joked.

'It's always a special birthday when I get to spend it with my girls… but this one was extra special because I got my first Labubu!'
Mellencamp - who's actively dating men via the Hinge dating app - is an avid equestrian who owns three horses, so it made sense that her birthday cake was horse-themed.
On Monday morning - her actual birthday - the RHOBH guest star shared a selfie with Cruz, Slate, and her five-year-old daughter Dove in bed captioned: '43 was pretty rough but couldn't ask for a better start to 44 with worlds best cuddlers.'
Next Monday would have marked Teddi and Edwin's 14th wedding anniversary had she not started divorce proceedings last November amid her rumored months-long affair with her horse trainer Simon Schröeder (while his wife Karli Postel was pregnant with their second child).
Postel reportedly 'found text messages on Simon's phone that exposed the affair' and they confessed when she confronted them about it.
Despite everything, the 48-year-old Skyline Security CEO gushed on Instagram: 'Happy birthday @teddimellencamp! Your resilience, tenacity, and strength have taught our children what a true warrior is. May God bless you with your best year ever.'
Tamra shared a special birthday tribute to Mellencamp, writing: 'Happy birthday to my Teddi Walters — my best friend, my ride or die, the little sister I never had but always needed. I truly can't imagine doing life without you. Love you forever.'

The Indiana-born Bravo-lebrity also received birthday tidings from fellow Housewives Rachel Zoe, Shannon Storms Beador, Lisa Hochstein, Melissa Gorga, Cynthia Bailey, Marysol Patton, and Adriana de Moura.
On June 11, Teddi gave an update on her stage 4 cancer battle, which originated as melanoma before spreading to her brain (with four tumors) and lungs.
'I had gotten pretty nervous because I started getting headaches again,' Mellencamp said of her MRI results on Two T's in a Pod.
'So I was like, "Oh no, that was the sign of this happening in the first place. I hope it means that the tumors aren't getting bigger again." But the doctors came in and said that the tumors have not grown at all. If anything, they're shrinking. I'm in the 1% range of improvement… But I am still stage 4 cancer.'
