Heather & Terry Dubrow Reveal They Lost $5.8 Million on Their Home Sale: "Gigantic Fail"
The RHOC couple shed more light on their recently sold Beverly Hills home: "We bombed."
Heather Dubrow and Terry Dubrow aren’t afraid to admit that they took an L.
Weeks after saying goodbye to their Beverly Hills home, The Real Housewives of Orange County couple shared more details about the sale and the jaw-dropping sum they ultimately lost. As previously reported, Heather and Terry purchased the 9,000-square-foot abode for $16.1 million and sold it for $16.5 million with the help of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles agents Josh Flagg and Josh Altman.
While some assumed that the Dubrows walked away with a $400,000 profit, the husband and wife explained they actually lost a hefty amount of money. And we mean hefty.
Heather & Terry Dubrow share details on their pricey home renovation
“We lost $5.8 [million]. I’ll tell you why,” Terry said during a recent episode of his and Heather’s Between Us podcast. “We bought the supplies for the guest house… We did a lot of stuff to the property, right?”

Terry and Heather explained they needed to sell the home for about $19.5 million to $20 million just to break even, as they had poured so much money into the early renovation projects. Heather said she planned to expand the property to 10,000 square feet with two new bedrooms, a new gym, a “sexy” speakeasy, and a full movie theater.
“This was going to be a billionaire’s home, for sure,” Terry said. “It would be [worth] $80 million to $85 million.”
Terry Dubrow says his Beverly Hills home project was "a gigantic fail"
“It was a gigantic fail,” Terry said. “So if you don’t like us, congratulations. We bombed. We got killed on that house.”
Instead of continuing the renovation, Heather and Terry had a “come to Jesus conversation” and decided to cut their losses. They suggested it was an easy decision, as they never considered the Beverly Hills home their main residence. While the home was being worked on, the couple primarily lived in their Los Angeles apartment.

Teddi Mellencamp Reflects on Changed Sex Life Amid Cancer Battle: "I Was a Wild Woman..."
Teddi Mellencamp has a new flame.
Roughly two months after confirming her split with a “mystery man,” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum revealed she was romantically involved with a new guy. She shared the big update during the latest episode of Diamonds in the Rough — the Housewives recap series she co-hosts with RHOBH’s Erika Jayne.
Teddi Mellencamp dishes on the new man in her life: "No complaints"
“I’ve been on probably eight dates with this person,” Teddi said in the September 1 broadcast. “Not the young guy. You haven’t met him… He’s such a nice guy, such a good guy.”
Teddi remained pretty tight-lipped about the individual, declining to reveal his name or share details on how they met. She did, however, address her sex life, admitting she had met the guy when her libido was high — a potential side effect from the steroid treatments she received amid her Stage 4 cancer battle.
“I was a wild woman… but now I am not,” she said about her sex drive. “So now I’m just chill. I’m like, ‘OK, yeah, let’s go to dinner. Yeah, sure.’ He’s funny, he’s nice, he opens car doors, he’s handsome, he has a nice job. There’s no complaints. The only complaints there are is how I physically feel — like, not about him but about myself.”
She continued: “So I’m kind of going through those things. I’ve got a lot of things kind of coming up where I’m like, ‘Am I going to be able to do this?’ I’m getting to that point where I’m definitely better than I was, but I’m not 100%.”

Days after the episode aired, Teddi resumed another round of immunotherapy. She said the treatment has taken a toll not only on her physical health but also on her mental state, as she often finds herself struggling with “severe anxiety” after the treatments.
“I’m definitely in that stage where I’m sure I’m not the best person in the world to have any sort of relationship with, but this guy is chill,” she told Erika. “He’s very understanding.”
Teddi said she and the mystery man like to keep their dates relatively low-key. They’ve had lunches, grabbed dinners, taken walks, and gone out to the movies.
“We’re just hanging out, getting to know each other,” she added. “It’s been good.”
Have Teddi Mellencamp & Edwin Arroyave finalized their divorce?
Teddi was first diagnosed with melanoma in 2022, after her good friend Kyle Richards noticed a spot on Teddi’s back. The RHOBH alum went on to have more than a dozen excisions and treatments before learning the cancer had metastasized, resulting in multiple tumors on her brain and lungs.
Months before the cancer had spread, Teddi revealed she had filed for divorce from Edwin Arroyave. Although they’re no longer romantically involved, the estranged husband and wife continue to live together with their kids: 12-year-old daughter Slate, 11-year-old son Cruz, and 5-year-old daughter Dove. Teddi is also a stepmom to 16-year-old Bella, Edwin’s daughter from a previous relationship.
Teddi and Edwin have since put their divorce on the back burner, as they’re putting all their focus on Teddi’s health and their kids.
“We’re not together, but we put all the divorce stuff on hold because getting divorced is very stressful,” she told Extra back in April. “He’s a good guy, and we’re having a friendship, which is what we liked about each other in the first place, making each other laugh and all those types of things, so I think it’s been really nice. We call it the divorce chronicles, where we just tease each other.”
