The dust is settling on the news of Edwin Arroyave and Teddi Mellencamp’s divorce. While both sides come to terms with what life looks like now, one has to consider how the holiday season comes to play in logistics and emotions.
Edwin recently shared how he is dealing with the shocking split, including focusing on the children he shares with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum. In addition, how he plans to spend the holidays amidst the separation.
Edwin Arroyave is focusing on the kids and “staying in faith”
“I’m doing as good as I could be doing, and just getting ready for the holidays and focusing on the things that I can control, and all that other stuff kind of figures itself out as it figures itself out,” Edwin said during a recent episode of his iHeartRadio’s “The Eds” podcast. “But I’ve always been big on just focusing on what you can control, and all that other stuff you can’t control, you just leave that up to God. And that’s what gives you peace.”
Edwin shared Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4, with the RHOBH alum. Teddi filed for divorce and listed October 20 as the date of separation. The announcement came on the heels of news that she had an affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schröeder, months prior.
“I think when you try to control things that you can’t control is when you rob yourself of the inner peace,” Edwin continued. “So I’ve been intentional with that part and staying in faith and focusing on the children and stuff like that.”
Edwin trusts that things will “always figure themselves out within time”
It’s all hitting at an “obviously difficult time.” Edwin recalled meeting his estranged wife this time of year. Just to complicate matters, Thanksgiving was to be hosted by John Mellencamp.
“We do what we always do, which is you continue to push forward. Life’s gonna throw some curveballs at you and you just gotta continue to push and things have a way to always figure themselves out within time,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, the accountability coach made a statement on social media to take responsibility for what she felt necessary.
“The only person who can change your life is you,” Teddi wrote on November 24. “We have 2 options, pretend to be a victim or stand up and fight for yourself. We all deserve peace and happiness. I have cried and mourned. I have taken accountability and apologized for things I have done wrong. Now, I have given myself permission to grow and thrive.”
She continued, “There are 3 sides to every story. How can I stand up and show up for the people that do matter? This is called being an adult. This is what saying with my full chest means.”
