Edwin Arroyave Looks Strained as He Posts About “Dark Days” Following Teddi Mellencamp’s Divorce Filing!
Following Teddi Mellencamp’s shocking announcement on November 2 that she is filing for divorce after 15 years together, her soon-to-be ex-husband, Edwin Arroyave, took to Instagram to share a cryptic message about personal wellness.
Edwin Arroyave Breaks Silence
On November 3, Edwin Arroyave posted a screenshot of a sleep summary, revealing he had finally managed to get some much-needed rest after previously only sleeping three hours a night. “I recently spoke about just getting 3 hours of sleep a night,” he wrote, accompanied by a screenshot showing he clocked in a whopping nine hours of sleep, rating it as “optimal.”
Edwin went on to share his thoughts on motivation and personal growth, stating:
“You’re not always going to be motivated or inspired. That’s where rituals & habits come in. Having good habits is what will get you through dark days.”
He further elaborated, “It’s when you’re under pressure that your true character is revealed,” suggesting a focus on resilience during challenging times.
The father of three, who shares kids Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4, with Mellencamp, also posted a heartwarming selfie in the car with his children, captioning it, “Church bound with these beautiful souls.”
Adding an emotional touch, Edwin included Tori Kelly’s uplifting song “Never Alone” in his Instagram Story, perhaps hinting at the importance of support and connection during this transitional period in his life.
First Public Outing Since Split
Teddi Mellencamp is making headlines as she steps out for the first time since announcing her divorce from husband Edwin Arroyave.
The 43-year-old reality star, known for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, was spotted in Los Angeles on Saturday, November 2, coinciding with the day she revealed her decision to part ways with Edwin, 47.
Dressed in an oversized beige hoodie, a matching Los Angeles Dodgers cap, and a comfortable pair of sneakers, Teddi Mellencamp was seen walking down the street while on a phone call. Interestingly, she was still sporting a ring on her wedding finger, which raised eyebrows among fans and onlookers alike.
Casual Chic Amidst Change
Teddi’s hoodie featured branding from her podcast, Two Ts in a Pod, which she had filmed a live taping for just a day prior. Despite the emotional whirlwind surrounding her personal life, she appeared relaxed and composed during her outing.
On the same day, Teddi took to Instagram to announce her split from Edwin after 13 years of marriage. The couple, who tied the knot in 2011, share three children: daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 4, along with son Cruz, 10. Teddi is also the stepmother to Edwin’s daughter Isabella, 15.
“After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” she wrote, emphasizing her commitment to her children’s wellbeing. “My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.”
Emotions and Transparency
Teddi expressed the challenges of making such a public declaration. “Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do,” she added. “But in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I have felt being open, honest, and vulnerable is the best path forward.”
The announcement has sparked conversations among fans and followers, many of whom have been supportive of Teddi during this difficult transition.
Reflecting on Their Journey
The former reality star previously shared insights about her relationship with Edwin during an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle in 2019. She recounted a poignant moment when Edwin expressed his hesitance about marriage. “He came home and he had tears in his eyes, and I had never really seen him cry before,” she reminisced. “And he just put a blank check down on the bedside table, and he was like, ‘Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I went to go buy the ring today. I’m sorry. I just don’t believe in marriage and I don’t want you to break up with me.’”
That heartfelt confession led to an unexpected proposal the next day on Christmas Eve. “Your mind plays tricks on you, and at the end of the day, I knew that this was the girl that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with,” Edwin reflected during the same interview.
A New Chapter Ahead
While Edwin has yet to publicly comment on the split, he did share a post on Instagram Stories the following day, November 3, where he mentioned getting over nine hours of sleep the night before. This seemingly casual update comes amidst the emotional backdrop of the divorce announcement, leaving fans curious about his perspective.
As Teddi navigates this new chapter of her life, she continues to focus on her family and career. The reality star’s resilience and commitment to her children shine through during this challenging time. With her podcast and other ventures on the horizon, it seems Teddi is ready to embrace whatever comes next.
