Teddi took to her Instagram Story last weekend, where she held a Q&A session. It was here that she shared her own current struggles with immunotherapy, admitting that her energy levels go up and down all the time. (Earlier this year, Teddi revealed that she will undergo immunotherapy treatments for the next two years and has taken breaks in the past as she deals with the side effects.) “Some days are definitely better than others,” she wrote. “And you don’t see all the times I’m laying in bed unable to do much. Don’t be afraid to let people know how you’re feeling and don’t feel guilty if you need to rest.”
Her energy levels have also impacted her work schedule with her podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, which she co-hosts with The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, Tamra Judge. “I am taking it week by week right now with how I am feeling,” she wrote. “Y’all know I love doing it, but I have to listen to my body.”
Teddi continued with this streak of honesty when she took to her Instagram Story on Nov. 11, where she filmed herself working out on her exercise bike. “I have been feeling terrible,” she admitted. “New goal is 20 mins a day.”

Teddi continued during the question and answer session, sharing advice to a spouse of someone with brain cancer. “I would say listen, especially on the worst days,” she stated. “We often feel like we don’t want to burden people but to have an outlet is so beneficial for our mental health,” she noted.
As previously stated, Teddi shared some major news about her battle with Stage 4 cancer in early October. Teddi took to her podcast on Oct. 3, where she opened up about her doctor’s findings. “At this point, there is no detectable cancer,” she stated.
Teddi has also been surrounded by her loved ones, including her father, John Mellencamp, and her kids, during this time. She took to Instagram on Oct. 24, where she posted a photo of her dad surrounded by her daughters, Slate and Dove Arroyave, and opened up about John’s support.
“It’s been 10 months since my brain surgery and I am so grateful for [John Mellencamp] for continuously being there for me and my family the entire time,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “Although apparently now that I’m no evidence of disease I can take photos without myself in it so I guess we’re all healing. Love you so much, Cougs. Thanks for everything.”
In a world of over-the-top, staged proposals, Paulie Connell just delivered a masterclass in heartfelt, chaotic, and utterly perfect romance. The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania is engaged, and the story of how her longtime love popped the question—in the middle of an Apple Store, with a fake PEOPLE interview as a decoy—is a tale of pure, unscripted magic.
The plan was elaborate. Dolores was told she had a PEOPLE interview for a new medication she was promoting. After getting full hair and makeup, the meeting was “canceled.” Seizing the opportunity, Paulie insisted they finally go get her new iPhone. “I kept saying, ‘Just go get it for me! Why do you need me?'” Dolores recalled. But Paulie was relentless, inventing a story about the “only one iPhone Pro Max in the area” being held for her.
At the Apple Store in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey—the very spot where they first met nearly five years ago—Paulie’s nerves began to show. “He was sweating so bad, his T-shirt was soaked, his face was beet red,” Dolores laughed. “He started saying these sweet, beautiful things to me out of nowhere and I was like, ‘Paul, are you okay?'”
As an employee led them to the exact table where their love story began, Paulie’s mind was racing. “I was so nervous, my knees where knocking,” he confessed. “I’m like, ‘What are you doing? Don’t start getting sad, you’re meant to be happy!'”
While he was trying to deliver a heartfelt speech, Dolores was still completely oblivious, even joking to the employee, “Wouldn’t it be funny if we got engaged here?”
Then, he pulled the box from his pocket. That’s when reality hit. “I immediately said yes,” Dolores gushed. The ring, a show-stopping 11-carat centerpiece from John Anthony Jewelers, was a testament to his devotion. “Go big or go home,” Dolores laughed.
This wasn’t the first ring Paulie had bought. He revealed he’d purchased a stone years ago, but after getting to know Dolores better, he realized it was the “opposite of what I got.” This new ring, which he’d had for over a year and a half, was perfect.
The proposal was a symphony of sentimental details. The date, November 10th, was the same day Dolores had moved in with him four years prior. The celebration dinner was at Rocco’s steakhouse, the site of their very first date. “There’s not a thing this guy didn’t think of,” Dolores said.
For years, Bravo fans have relentlessly asked, “When is he going to propose?” Now, they have their answer. In the most unexpected of locations, surrounded by iPhones and unsuspecting shoppers, Dolores Catania’s next chapter has officially begun. And as Paulie laughed, “I’m just glad Dolores won’t have to answer a stupid question anymore.”
