Teddi Mellencamp Reflects on Her Marriage to Edwin Arroyave

Teddi Mellencamp has opened up about her struggles in her marriage to Edwin Arroyave. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member discussed her separation on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Show episode on February 3.

Reflecting on their relationship, Mellencamp stated, "Edwin and I experienced amazing years together. When we met, it was passionate and everything felt perfect." However, she felt there were times when she believed, "It's okay, I can fix this. I will make him love me more."

The couple shares three children: Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4. Mellencamp admitted that by the time Arroyave was finally ready to put in effort to improve their marriage, she had already checked out. She explained, "I probably stopped wanting to work on it."

On November 2, Mellencamp announced her divorce from Arroyave after 13 years of marriage through an Instagram message. Court documents revealed that she filed for divorce on November 1, citing irreconcilable differences, with their separation date listed as October 20.

During her podcast talk, Mellencamp expressed feelings of resentment, fear, and an inability to be open with Arroyave. "That's where the issues lay," she said. While she acknowledged seeing Arroyave attempt to change, she felt unready to engage again in their relationship.

Mellencamp also touched on the impact of her marriage struggles while appearing on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where she was a main cast member for seasons 8 to 10. "The worst time in our marriage was after having kids and when I booked the show. I dealt with many IVF challenges," she shared.

She further mentioned the disconnect between her personal struggles and her on-screen persona: "Viewers noted I seemed like two different people. I was a shell of myself, trying to depict a perfect life that was far from reality."
