Mellencamp, who grew up in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina with the 'Southern Charm' star, joked that she's "one of the only people" in the town that "did not make out Shep"

Teddi Mellencamp and Shep Rose go way back long before their Bravo days. Both Teddi, who is the daughter of John Mellencamp, and Rose grew up in Hilton Head, South Carolina. The duo met in their early teen years. They clicked and formed a friendship that has stood the test of time.

The reality TV star underwent emergency surgery last month after being admitted to the hospital due to “severe and debilitating headaches.”
