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

On Saturday, 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 children are my first priority and I am ensuring that their privacy and well-being are respected in this new chapter.”

“I didn't want to make a public statement, but in an effort to protect my family from inappropriate speculation and rumors, the best way for me was to be open, honest and vulnerable,” she added.

Teddi, 43, didn't 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 welcomed three children together: Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4. Teddi is also stepmother to Arroyave's daughter Isabella (15) from a previous marriage.

The couple celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary back in July when Teddi shared an Instagram post at the time.

“13 years ago I said 'yes' to you @tedwinator,” she captioned her post, which included a throwback photo from her wedding alongside a recent photo. “15 years together and 13 years married. I'm proud of us. Who would have thought that if you were simulating playing the keyboard and I was simulating a singer on a country music demo, we would make a perfect duo.”

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

“I love you, dad. “I’m excited to celebrate with you today and the wonderful family we have created,” concluded Teddi.
