Teddi Mellencamp officially ended her marriage with her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, as the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum filed for divorce after 13 years. She filed the divorce papers on November 1, 2024, and announced her split from Arroyave on social media the following day. She wrote on Instagram:
"After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult consideration to file for divorce. My priority is my children and ensuring every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter."
Speaking of children, Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave are parents to three kids: Cruz, Slate, and Dove. The RHOBH star wants primary legal and physical custody of their children, per the filing. She also noted that she would agree to a "reasonable and frequent" visitation between the kids and Arroyave.
The reality TV star asked the judge to award her spousal support and requested the court to deny Arroyave of the same if he asked for one. She also wrote in the filing that she wants Edwin Arroyave to shoulder all attorney fees and costs during their divorce.
Teddi Mellencamp has a combined net worth of $16 million with Edwin Arroyave as per Celebrity Net Worth.
Mellencamp also mentioned in her Instagram post that sharing the divorce with the public wasn't what she wanted. However, she noted that "being open, honest, and vulnerable" is her way of protecting the family from speculations and rumors.
Exploring Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave's fortune amid their divorce
Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave were married for 13 years before the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum filed for divorce. They first met while at a nightclub sometime in 2009 and hung out for the next two years before getting married in Indiana. They built their family of five from there and built their fortune together, which Celebrity Net Worth estimated to be $16 million.
Arroyave is a businessman who founded Skyline Security Management in 2004 and is also its CEO. He also has other business ventures, like executive producing the 2016 short film titled Spoken Word.
Meanwhile, Teddi Mellencamp made her fortune in the reality TV scene, joining the RHOBH cast on its eighth season in 2017. She also worked on films like Next Level and guest-starred in Celebrity Family Feud, Flipping Out, Vanderpump Rules, and @Home with Tori, among many others.
Besides acting, Mellencamp supplied her joint fortune with Arroyave by founding her fitness and lifestyle company called All In by Teddi. Real estate was also the card for the couple, who bought a $4.07 million home in Mount Olympus in Los Angeles in 2018. They sold it for $6 million in 2022.
Among their real estate collection is a home in Encino, California, which they bought for $6.5 million in 2020. They also previously owned a $1.8 Lauren Canyon, Los Angeles home, which they rented for $17,000 a month. However, when their then-renter, rapper Pop Smoke, was murdered in the house in 2020, they sold it for $2.8 million that same year.
Per the RHOBH star's divorce filing, their property assets and debts are "unknown at this time" and will be determined in the future.
