In a March 2023 episode of Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge’s “Two Ts In A Pod” podcast, Mellencamp talked about how she was once on the brink of a divorce from Edwin Arroyave. Apparently, the couple was on the brink of divorce when Season 1 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” started filming. “We are at our worst absolute phase, because truthfully, for us, it was really about a power struggle,” the reality star shared of their relationship at the time. When Arroyave took charge of the family’s finances, Mellencamp felt she was in a “weaker position” in their marriage and began harboring resentment toward him.
The podcast host later revealed what ultimately saved their marriage. “Once I started loving myself again, we could start loving each other because when I don’t love myself, we don’t love each other,” she admitted.

Arroyave joined her as a guest on the episode, along with Judge’s husband, Eddie Judge, and gave his own take. He shared that he was grateful for the show, noting that it helped them work on their marriage. “Everybody said the show is going to divide you; instead, it actually united us,” he said.
