In addition to voicing his support for Teddi and watching "RHOBH" even when he didn't like seeing his daughter on TV, John Mellencamp also appears to be close with his grandchildren. Today reports that soon after the birth of her third child, Teddi Mellencamp shared a photo of her father alongside baby Dove. Her Instagram caption read, "She wasn't born in a small town and she won't grow up in a small town but she loves when Peepaw comes to visit her in the big town," alongside a photo of the rocker holding his newborn granddaughter.
While he was happy to meet his granddaughter, it appears that Mellencamp was less thrilled about his daughter's postpartum hair style. According to BravoTV, she debuted a pink hairdo following Dove's birth. Shortly after, she received a text from her father asking if the rumors were true. "That's a halloween costume," he texted back.
Fans of the show will remember the 40-year-old talking about her father and growing up in the spotlight. It was a topic of conversation during season 10, when Brandi Glanville alleged that Denise Richards was taking shots at Mellencamp by saying she lived in her father's shadow. Throughout her time on the show, the All In founder was open about her struggles with body image and making her way in Hollywood with a famous last name.
However, the struggles she faced as the daughter of a famous rocker seem to take a backseat to their relationship today.
