After 13 years of marriage, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp has announced her decision to separate from Edwin Arroyave, sharing the news in a candid Instagram post on November 2. Mellencamp, who has always balanced her public persona with her role as a mother, emphasized that her children are at the forefront of her thoughts during this challenging transition.
“After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” Mellencamp, 43, shared, adding that her primary concern is her children’s wellbeing and privacy. Acknowledging the gravity of her announcement, she said, “Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do,” but felt it necessary to prevent any speculation that could affect her family.
The reality star made her post shortly after appearing at a live recording of her podcast, Two Ts in a Pod, with co-host Tamra Judge, where she was seen engaging with fans and staying positive. Mellencamp’s decision reflects her focus on moving forward with honesty and integrity, even as she navigates this new chapter in the public eye.
