Teddi Mellencamp stepped out with her wedding ring after announcing her divorce from husband Edwin Arroyave after 13 years of marriage.
The âReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsâ alum was photographed wearing the massive diamond as she got into an Uber in Los Angeles on Saturday evening.
She also wore an army green puffer jacket, leggings, a tan baseball cap and Nike sneakers.
Mellencamp, 43, also wore her rock while talking on the phone during a walk in a Los Angeles neighborhood on Saturday afternoon, per photos obtained by People.
The Bravolebrity appeared tense during the outing which came shortly after she revealed she and Arroyave, 47, had separated.
She shared the news on Instagram earlier that day âafter a great deal of care and consideration.â
âI 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,â Mellencamp wrote.
âMaking 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.â
The exes, who wed in 2011, share daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 4, and son Cruz, 10.
Arroyave is also the father to 15-year-old daughter Isabella from his previous marriage.
Mellencamp met the former Skyline Security CEO at a Hollywood nightclub in 2009.
The Bravolebrity recalled meeting her now-estranged husband in a 2019 interview with Yahoo, admitting she initially thought it would be one-night fling.
âI thought after that night that that was just one of those ⊠a story that you tell your girlfriends. Maybe Iâll hang out with him one more time,â she said.
âFor us, it took a while,â Mellencamp added.
âWe casually dated for a long time. Once I met Edwinâs daughter, it made our relationship feel a lot more real.â
The news of the coupleâs split comes amid the reality starâs battle with skin cancer.
