Teddi Mellencamp announces divorce from husband Edwin Arroyave after 13 years of marriage

Saturday is the The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum shared a statement on Instagram, revealing that she has filed for divorce from Arroyave.

“After much care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” Teddi said. “My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken for their privacy and well-being during this new chapter.”

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

Teddi, 43, did not share any details about what led to the split. Arroyave, 47, has not yet commented on the news.

Teddi and Arroyave married in 2011. The former couple has welcomed three children together: Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4. Teddi is also a stepmother to Arroyave’s daughter, Isabella, 15, from a previous marriage.

The couple celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary in July, with Teddi sharing an Instagram post at the time.

“13 years ago I said ‘yes’ to you, @tedwinator,” she captioned her post, with a throwback photo from their wedding alongside a recent photo. “15 years together and 13 years married. I’m proud of us. Who would have thought we would make a perfect duo when you play the keyboard and I simulate a singer on a country music demo.”

“From Paris to the Riviera Maya, it has been years of discovery, laughter, tears, growth and camaraderie,” she continued. “Although not perfect, we have done everything we can to make our marriage what it is today. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“I love you, Dad. I’m happy to celebrate today with you and the beautiful family we have created,” Teddi concluded.
