A cryptic post followed Teddi Mellencamp’s recent announcement regarding her divorce from Edwin Arroyave. On November 3, Arroyave took to his Instagram Stories to share two posts emphasizing the importance of “healthy habits” and how they can support individuals during challenging times.
The first image was a screenshot from an app revealing his sleep schedule, showing he achieved nine hours and ten minutes of rest with an “optimal” sleep score. “I recently mentioned only getting three hours of sleep a night,” he noted in the caption. “Finally, I got some rest!”
Shortly thereafter, he posted a selfie of himself in athletic gear at a hot yoga studio, reinforcing his commitment to personal goals. He stated, “You won’t always feel motivated or inspired. That’s where rituals and habits come into play.” The host of The Eds podcast elaborated further, explaining, “Good habits are essential for crossing dark days. It’s during tough times that your true character emerges.”
Mellencamp revealed her decision to divorce Arroyave after 13 years of marriage through an Instagram post on November 2. “After much thought and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” the reality star expressed in her statement. “My children are my top priority, and I will ensure their privacy and wellbeing are protected during this transition.”
She added, “I did not want to make a public statement, but in order to shield my family from unwarranted speculation and rumors, I believe being open, honest, and vulnerable is the best approach.”
Just a week prior to her divorce announcement, Arroyave had publicly praised Mellencamp on Instagram for her transparency regarding her battle with melanoma. On October 25, he posted a heartfelt tribute featuring a series of photos and videos from a recent gala benefiting the Melanoma Research Foundation.
“I always say life and pain are inseparable,” he wrote in the caption. “Watching @teddimellencamp embrace her pain and use it for a greater purpose as she emceed the @curemelanoma gala was a beautiful reminder of her capabilities.” He further commented, “Her story has already saved lives, and I couldn’t be prouder that she will continue to save more. Love you, Teds.”
The first image showcased the couple standing closely together, with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star resting her hand on his shoulder. Another photo captured them sharing a kiss in the lavish venue, followed by one of Arroyave dipping Mellencamp in a romantic moment. The series concluded with three videos of the reality star speaking on stage.
On the same day she announced her separation, Mellencamp was seen strolling through Los Angeles, dressed in an oversized beige hoodie, a matching Los Angeles Dodgers cap, and sneakers. While on a phone call, she was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger.
The couple, who married in 2011, share three children: daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 4, as well as son Cruz, 10. Additionally, Mellencamp is a stepmother to Arroyave’s 15-year-old daughter, Isabella.
