Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave were married for 13 years before they separated.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, who is one of the children of singer John Mellencamp, first met Arroyave in a Hollywood nightclub in 2009.

“I was tricked a little bit because when I first saw Edwin, he had a beanie cap on,” Teddi recalled to Yahoo! Lifestyle in 2019. “And then when I saw him the next morning, the beanie was off and there was a ponytail hanging out the back. I thought after that night that that was just one of those [stories] that you tell your girlfriends, ‘Maybe I’ll hang out with him one more time.’”

Teddi continued hanging out with Arroyave for two years before they wed in her native Indiana. The pair later welcomed daughters Slate and Dove, as well as son Cruz. (Arroyave is also father to eldest daughter Isabella, from a previous relationship.)

After 13 years of marriage and Arroyave supporting Teddi amid her recurring skin cancer battle, they went their separate ways.

July 2023

Through the years, Teddi and Arroyave shared candid updates on their family and relationship via social media.

“When was the last time you really told your significant other exactly what you want and need? I often times don’t and then let things build up and fester,” Teddi wrote via Instagram in July. “I mean aren’t our people mind readers? Can’t they tell what my heavy annoyed breathing means? The answer is no.”

She continued, “I tried out being 100 percent direct with @tedwinator yesterday for my birthday and guess what — it worked like a charm. I said:’ You can work until 11 a.m. while I take the kids riding. After we get back I want a date of my favorite things.’ … Long story short: Marriage isn’t easy and we all have high highs and low lows but if we are vulnerable and open up, it can lead to one of the best days you have had in a long time.”
