Teddi, who is the daughter of rock musician John Mellencamp, filed for divorce from Arroyave after 13 years of marriage last week.  

The couple are parents to Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, four. 

‘It’s difficult no matter what, but she is a strong girl,’ she said. ‘It’s hard when you have kids no matter what their age is.’

‘I’ve learned that through my situation too,’ she continued. ‘Yes, it’s hard when they’re little, but you can easily hide things from them too. 

‘And when they’re older, it’s a whole other different set of problems, having their fantasy life ripped out from under their feet.’

Teddi shared her divorce news in an emotional Instagram post on November 2.

‘After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,’ she wrote. 

‘My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.’

The reality TV star added, ‘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.’

 In her divorce, Teddi requested primary custody of their three children with ‘reasonable and frequent visitation’ for Arroyave.

According to legal documents, Arroyave is contesting and asking for joint physical and legal custody of their minor children.

This comes after it was revealed that the now-estranged pair were in couples therapy ‘for years’ before their separation.

Her soon-to-be ex-husband also revealed in the latest court documents that they have a prenuptial agreement that he wants the court to enforce.
