Teddi Mellencamp says she’s getting a divorce … splitting with her husband of more than a decade, Edwin Arroyave — adding she’s speaking out to stop any unfounded rumors.
The reality television star announced the news in a post to her Instagram … saying she came to the decision to file after a great deal of consideration.
She goes on to say her kids are her priority … and, she will take every step to ensure their care and privacy during the split.
Mellencamp goes on to say she didn’t plan on making a public statement … but, she acknowledges she feels it’s necessary to stop anyone from spreading rumors about her fam.
FWIW … Teddi doesn’t actually provide a reason for the split or even say anything directly about Edwin in the post — so, we have a feeling rumors are going to take off anyway.
Teddie and Edwin met way back in 2008 … hooking up in what Teddi initially thought would be a one-and-done fling.
Three years later, the two married … though Teddi did admit she thought about divorcing him during their first season on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” in 2017 — saying they were “at our worst absolute phase, because truthfully, for us, it was really about a power struggle.”
The couple shares three kids: Isabella, Cruz and Slate.
We’ve reached out to Teddi for more info on the split … so far, no word back.
