Teddi Mellencamp, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Edwin Arroyave. The announcement came on November 2nd via a heartfelt Instagram post, where Teddi expressed the difficult decision she made after much consideration.

In her message, she emphasized that her primary focus remains on their three children: 12-year-old daughter Slate, 10-year-old son Cruz, and 4-year-old daughter Dove. “My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and well-being throughout this new chapter,” she wrote.

Teddi acknowledged that making the split public was not her first choice but felt it was necessary to protect her family from unwanted speculation. Edwin has yet to comment publicly on their separation, which comes just three months after they celebrated their 13-year wedding anniversary.

At that time, both Teddi and Edwin shared touching tributes to each other, reflecting on their journey together. Teddi wrote about their adventures and the love they built, while Edwin praised her as not just the love of his life but also the mother of his dreams.

The news of their split is particularly poignant as Teddi has been battling skin cancer for over two years. Recently, the couple attended the 2024 Cure Melanoma Gala, where Edwin expressed his admiration for Teddi’s strength and resilience, noting that her story has already saved lives.

As they move forward, Teddi remains committed to her children’s well-being while continuing her advocacy for cancer awareness. The couple’s focus on family during this challenging time highlights their dedication to their children amidst personal changes.
