Teddi Mellencamp's Estranged Husband Makes Move In Divorce Court Amid Her Cancer Battle
Teddi Mellencamp's estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, is taking legal steps to move their divorce along, even as she continues her battle with stage 2 melanoma. Arroyave previously shared that he is concerned about Mellencamp feeling alone and described how her diagnosis changed the dynamic of their relationship. Teddi Mellencamp filed for divorce from Edwin Arroyave in November 2024 after 13 years of marriage, and now his "reflexive" legal actions suggest a more determined shift toward separation. Arroyave took a major step forward in his divorce from Mellencamp, officially submitting his financial disclosures as the split moves through court. In legal documents filed on May 8, the 48-year-old told the court he has handed over his income and expense records, along with a list of assets, debts, community, and separate property. When Mellencamp filed for divorce in November 2024, Arroyave agreed that the relationship was over. However, he pushed back on the official date of separation and called for their prenuptial agreement to be enforced. According to In Touch, Arroyave requested that "all assets, income from all sources, and obligations of each party are his/her separate property, except as specifically set forth therein." He also stated that he may need to update his filings as more details about his separate assets become clear. On her end, Mellencamp haf submitted her initial financial disclosures to Arroyave back in February. In addition to handing over her financial disclosures, she requested primary legal and physical custody of their four children, offering him visitation rights. The star listed October 20, 2024, as the official separation date and cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for ending the 13-year marriage. Mellencamp also asked the court to grant her spousal support and prevent Arroyave from seeking any from her. That same month, Mellencamp revealed that doctors had discovered multiple tumors in her brain. "I have 3 more tumors in my brain and 2 tumors on my lungs. These are all a direct result of my melanoma," she explained. Despite the setbacks, she noted, "The doctors are hopeful that these additional mutations will be removed via immunotherapy … I am feeling positive and excited — that I will beat these tumors." Before their divorce took a more combative turn, Arroyave spoke openly about the emotional impact of Mellencamp's cancer diagnosis. In an episode of "The Eds" podcast, Arroyave detailed how he initially reacted when he learned of her condition. He said his first instinct was to make sure she felt supported and confident about her health outlook. As reported by The Blast, Arroyave described his approach as "reflexive," sharing that his priority was making sure Mellencamp did not feel isolated. He also said he focused on maintaining their relationship for the sake of their children and emphasized that taking care of her felt natural to him even during a painful time. "No matter what, I will always love Teddi," he said, highlighting his commitment to her. Despite their divorce, Arroyave said his split from Mellencamp brought a renewed closeness between them as she battled health issues. The TV personality shared that her cancer diagnosis shifted their focus entirely, pushing aside unresolved issues in favor of supporting her through treatment. In his words: "The first thing is just making sure that we take care of this first and all that other stuff. We'll see what happens with time. But for right now, it's just more of like, how do we take care of you? And how can we get you back to normal as fast as possible? That other stuff will figure itself out." Back in February, when Mellencamp underwent brain surgery to remove tumors, Arroyave stayed involved. He publicly thanked supporters on Instagram and said his ex was deeply grateful for the love and encouragement during her recovery. Despite dealing with their divorce process, another thing that had intensified was her cancer battle. Mellencamp shared that her cancer had advanced to stage 4, following a new wave of devastating news. The 43-year-old revealed in March that an emergency MRI had uncovered four more small tumors on her brain, pushing her melanoma into stage 4. Still, Mellencamp stayed determined. Last month, she spoke directly to her followers in an Instagram Stories video, thanking them for their continued support and sharing how she had been coping. She admitted that her emotions have fluctuated; some days she felt strong and hopeful, while others brought sadness and loneliness. Mellencamp said those ups and downs are part of what it means to face stage 4 cancer. As Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave's divorce battle moves forward, it is clear that they are navigating both legal and emotional crossroads.

How Teddi Mellencamp's Husband Edwin Arroyave Talks to Kids About Her Health
It's been five months since Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum filed for divorce on November 1, 2024. Despite their separation, her husband is supporting her through her treatment for stage 4 melanoma cancer. 'No matter what, I will always love Teddi,' Edwin said on the April 3 episode of The Eds podcast. 'She's been a big part of my life. And I just like taking care of people, it's just what I do.' 'So [taking care of Teddi] wasn't even like a question,' he added. 'It was reflexive. And the main thing is … getting her to a point where she felt confident, she felt like she wasn't alone.' Since 2022, Teddi has been open about her fight with melanoma. In February 2025, she shared that the cancer had metastasized to her lungs and brain. Surgeons removed the largest of the tumors at that time. But in late March, her doctors discovered four more tumors in her brain. 'I'm fighting for my life,' she said. 'But also for my family's life and all the people I love.' Teddi and Edwin were married for 13 years and share three young children: Slate, 12; Cruz, 10; and Dove, 5. Edwin also has a daughter from a previous relationship, Isabella. One of the toughest parts of going through this cancer journey has been reassuring their children. Edwin tries to be age-appropriately honest with them, preferring they get information from him rather than online. But he's also trying not to 'sugarcoat it too much.' 'I said … this is what we think's going to happen,' he told co-host Eddie Judge. 'This is sort of how we're going to deal with it, and this is why I'm confident that she's going to make it through.'' 'Kids are resilient,' he added. 'I've been very impressed with them. They've still been doing great in school [and] in sports. I've just tried to keep it consistent with them … [They're] strong.' Although Teddi has also been open about her health, she's studiously avoided the mantra she's always used with her children: 'Mommies always come back.' 'They all know I'm fighting the hardest I possibly can,' she said. 'But I haven't said, 'Mommies always come back,' because I don't wanna lie to them. And I don't know.' The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
