Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Teddi Mellencamp filed for divorce from husband Edwin Arroyave.
Teddi broke the news on Instagram with a statement on Saturday, November 2. It read: “After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce. My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.”
She continued: “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.”

The two have been married since 2011 after they first met during a night out at a Hollywood club. The two share three children: Slate, Dove and Cruz. Edwin is also the father to daughter Isabella from a previous relationship.
Teddi opened up about the first time her and Edwin hung out to Yahoo Lifestyle in 2019. She said: “I thought after that night that that was just one of those a story that you tell your girlfriends. Maybe Ill hang out with him one more time.”
Things started to get serious between two once Edwin introduced Teddi to his daughter. She said: “For us, it took a while. We casually dated for a long time. Once I met Edwins daughter, it made our relationship feel a lot more real.”
The day before Teddi made the announcement of her divorce, she posted a picture of herself looking at the mirror with a ring on her ring finger. Because the divorce post’s comments were turned off, fans expressed their sadness on the mirror picture. One person specifically pointed out that the news came as a shock, especially after Edwin was there for Teddi through her cancer diagnosis in 2022.
A week before the news, Edwin posted a carousel of pictures with Teddi at the Cure Melanoma gala. The two were seen kissing in a picture. He wrote: “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 continued: “Her story has already saved lives. And I couldnt be prouder that she will continue to save more. Love you, Teds. (So much so that I missed the Rams game to be there).”
