Teddi Mellencamp and Husband Edwin Arroyave Split The RHOC Alum Is Filing for DivorceEdwin Arroyave and Teddi Mellencamp

Teddi Mellencamp and her husband, Edwin Arroyave, have split and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum decided to file for divorce after 13 years of marriage.

“After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” Mellencamp, 43, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, November 2. “My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.”

She added, “Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do, but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest and vulnerable was the best path forward.”

Mellencamp and 47-year-old Arroyave, who has not yet publicly addressed the breakup, have been married since 2011. They share three children: Slate, Dove and Cruz. (Arroyave is also father to daughter Isabella from a previous relationship.)

The couple have faced ups and downs through the years, even nearly separating during Mellencamp’s early stint on RHOBH. (John Mellencamp’s daughter held a diamond from seasons 8 to 10.)

“When we first started, I remember my first day honestly it was like ‘F—, at what point do I tell everybody that I’m getting a divorce? Like when do I do this?’” Teddi said during a March 2023 episode of her “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast. “We are at our worst absolute phase, because truthfully, for us, it was really about a power struggle.”

She added, “We were always kind of equals when we were together. I rode horses, I was competitive and I was all these things. Then I couldn’t get pregnant naturally, I did all these IVFs. Then, all of a sudden, he was in charge of our finances, and I had never been that. I never not had my own money, I had been working since I was 17. Then I just started hating him.”

Teddi and the businessman were ultimately able to overcome their issues once she rediscovered self-love.

Years later in 2022, Teddi was diagnosed with skin cancer and Arroyave stood by her side.

“I always say life and pain are inseparable and to see @teddimellencamp embrace her pain and use it for the greater good again last night as she emceed the @curemelanoma gala, was a beautiful reminder of what she is capable of,” he wrote via Instagram on October 27, one week before Teddi confirmed her divorce plans. “Her story has already saved lives. And I couldn’t be prouder that she will continue to save more. Love you, Teds.”

Teddi’s podcast cohost, Tamra Judge, replied, “Mom and dad look amazing.”
