Edwin Arroyave Sheds Light on Life Amid Teddi Mellencamp Split: "Dark Days" (PICS)
After the RHOBH alum confirmed that she filed for divorce from Edwin, he took to Instagram to give a major update on his life.
Edwin Arroyave has been practicing "good habits" through his "dark days" after it was announced that his wife Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave filed for divorce. This update from Edwin came one day after The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum took to Instagram where she announced their separation after 13 years of marriage.
Edwin took to his Instagram Story on Sunday, Nov. 3 and Monday, Nov. 4, where he posted a series of photos and inspirational messages to his followers in the wake of the big news. The father of four kids took a screenshot from a sleep app, where it showed that he had "optimal" sleep over the weekend.
"I recently spoke about just getting 3 hours of sleep a night," he wrote over the photo. "Finally getting some rest!"
That same morning, he posted a selfie taken in the lobby of a yoga studio, where he spoke of the importance of having healthy habits. "You're not always going to be motivated or inspired," he captioned the post, adding, "That's where rituals & habits come in. Having good habits is what will get you through your dark days. It's when you're under pressure that your true character is revealed."
Edwin Arroyave shares a look at life with his children amid his divorce
That same day, Edwin revealed on his Instagram Story that he went to church with his three children that he shares with Teddi. The foursome took a car selfie, sat in church, and sang along to worship music on the car ride home. He also posted screenshots of bible verses on Monday.
"As parents, you have the power to speak life or death to your children and over your children," he highlighted. "When you choose to speak the Word of God over your children, you are choosing to speak life over them."
Teddi Mellencamp says her "priority is her children" amid her divorce
As previously stated, Teddi announced in a statement on Saturday, Nov. 2, that she had filed for divorce from Edwin. "After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce," she wrote in her Instagram post.
"My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter," she continued. "Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest, and vulnerable was the best path forward."
Teddi Mellencamp opened up about how Edwin Arroyave had been there for her in November 2023
Throughout the course of their relationship, Teddi had been open about how Edwin had been there for her during tough times. Nearly one year ago, on Nov. 13, 2023, Teddi took to her Instagram account, where she posted a throwback photo of her and Edwin taken early on in their relationship.
"Some days we are so busy with work, kids, and life that I don't let him know when I am struggling," she wrote in the caption of the post at that time. "So often we want to be strong for our partner, pretending to be a super-human for the sake of optics or a fear of being seen as weak. But last night, I felt a strength from Edwin that radiated through both of us — and it's something I still feel as I write this."
