Teddi Mellencamp’s Health Scare Came Amid Divorce From Edwin Arroyave
The TV star’s scary episode came shortly after she announced her separation from Arroyave. While the news seemed shocking to fans of RHOBH, the star reportedly went through a lot behind closed doors. We reported that Mellencamp only confided in a few people about her problems, including Kyle Richards.
Edwin’s alleged infidelity significantly influenced Mellencamp’s decision to file for divorce. Despite noticing the warning signs, she attempted to navigate their issues by forgiving him and trying to rebuild trust. Mellencamp was determined to keep her family intact, and they initially tried to address their problems privately. However, their struggles ended up being far from private.
Arroyave was also on the same page with his estranged wife. In his November 8, 2024 filing, the 47-year-old requested the enforcement of his prenuptial agreement with Mellencamp. The reality star indicated that their separation occurred on November 1. On top of that, he also asked for joint legal and physical custody of their three children.
Wishing Teddi Mellencamp the easiest of recoveries now that the tumors are out.
