Teddi Mellencamp Makes Shocking Divorce Announcement

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp shocked Bravo fans on the weekend by announcing that she intends to divorce her husband of 13 years, Edwin Arroyave. Her announcement arrived on social media to prevent speculation about her status. Read on to find out more.

Teddi Mellencamp Is Divorcing Edwin

Teddi Mellencamp debuted in Season 8 of  Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. You probably recall that Dorit Kemsley was her bestie at the time. In fact, it was the season before the fallout over who leaked “Puppy Gate” to the media.   

As the Bravo show progressed, Teddi Mellencamp revealed more about her family. Bravo fans got to meet her kids, Slate and Cruz. They also found out that she and Edwin Arroyave expected a third baby. That came in Season 10. Plus, she and Kyle Richards seemed to get on really well. 

Leaving The Bravo Show, Now Leaving Edwin

Teddi Mellencamp left The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills show after that, but she’s still around. Actually,  you can catch her take on life via the Two Ts In A Pod podcast. The “All In by Teddi” lifestyle and fitness coach is inspirational for her followers because she brought awareness about melanoma after she had a cancer scare.  

The news about the divorce did not arrive in the podcast. Instead, the Bravo alum announced it on Instagram. And, she made it clear that she’s divorcing Edwin Arroyave and not the other way around. It’s her second divorce, as she dumped Matt Robertson in 2010, four years after they tied the knot. In her post, she wrote:

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 takne wiht their privacy and wellbring throiuhgout this new chapter. 

Bravo Fans React

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum also talked about letting people know about it now, thereby preventing inaccurate reporting and “rumors.” So, she opted to be “vulnerable” and “honest.” The comments were closed so nobody could say anything there. But, news travels fast. On Reddit, many Bravo fans had their say. Here are some of their opinions:

• I think the financial dynamic changed, and she’s making more money than him.
• Did any of you see how he just posted lovey dovey pictures of them literally 5 days ago? I know public figures can be fake but I feel like something must have happened.
• She has no personality and just absorbs Kyle and Tamra.
• Does anyone even care about her irrelevant ass? I sure don’t.
