The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 43, penned a message about their split on Saturday, November 2.
“After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce. My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter,” the blonde beauty wrote.
She continued: “Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do, but in an effect to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest and vulnerable was the best path forward.”
Mellencamp and Arroyave tied the knot in 2011 after meeting in 2008. The couple share children Slate, Cruz, and Dove. Mellencamp is also stepmom to Arroyave's daughter Bella, whom he had in a previous relationship.

The pair's split came after they celebrated their 13-year wedding anniversary in July, which Mellencamp commemorated in an Instagram post.
"13 years ago I said 'I do' to you, @tedwinator. 15 years together and 13 years married. I am proud of us. Who would have thought between you simulating playing the keyboard and me simulating a singer on a country music demo, we’d make a perfect duo," she began the loving message.
Teddi Mellencamp is also stepmom to Edwin Arroyave's daughter Bella.
"From Paris to the Riviera Maya, it’s been years of discovery, laughter, tears, growth, and companionship. While not perfect, we’ve put in the work to make our marriage what it is today. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Love you, Papa. Excited to celebrate with you today and the beautiful family we have created," the blonde beauty, who was let go from the hit Bravo show in 2020, added.
