Teddi Mellencamp Wonders If Edwin Arroyave’s Divorce Was A ‘Mistake’

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddy Mellencamp not always firm on her decision to divorce Edwin Arroyave.

“We went to this whole couple’s therapy thing and he announced me as an introvert, and it was shocking information for everyone, even though I’ve been saying this my whole life,” Mellencamp, 43, said during the day Thursday, January 16, episode of his “Diamonds in the Rough” a podcast. “I’m naturally introverted, so I enjoy my alone time (and) I need to recharge.”

Although she found comfort in the quiet moments, she was not prepared for the heightened isolation of divorce. (Mellencamp split from Arroyave, 47, in the fall of 2024 and file for divorce that November.)

“There are moments that I feel now, where I feel very alone and I don’t know if those lonely feelings mean that I have made a mistake or this is just lonely. something I have to get used to and this is the new change in my life,” asked Mellencamp, trying to hold back tears. “Oh my gosh, I’m so embarrassed that I’m getting emotional, but it’s such a confusing part of it all.”

“She’s in the thick of it right now, and it’s very fresh and very hard,” Jayne, 53, said on Thursday’s episode. “I feel for her because none of this is easy and to pick yourself up and even be on a podcast today and talk about it.

“I’ve talked about this in therapy, but it’s almost, like, being drawn into another chaotic situation,” Mellencamp explained. “I don’t want to give too much away about my parents or anything like that, but obviously my dad (John Mellencamp) was a rock star. He met a girl in the Rainbow Room and she was my mother and they had babies (while) he was already married. Like, everything was like – a show. “

Teddi went on, “There have been many good moods in my life, and my only aim has always been… to give stability to my children. I don’t know if it’s loneliness or I feel scared, (but) I also don’t feel like I’m enough, like all those things.”

Teddy and Arroyave share women Slate, 12, and Dove, 4, as well as son Cruz, 10. (Arroyave is also father to daughter Isabella, 15, from a previous relationship.)
