2024 Celebrity Breakups: Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck, Megan Fox & MGK and More Shocking Splits!
Teddi Mellencamp is just trying to figure it out as she goes along.
Two months after announcing her divorce from husband Edwin Arroyave, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum celebrated her first Christmas alone.
“In my Bridget Jones era,” she captioned a video of herself in pajamas singing Jamie O’Neal’s “All By Myself,” a nod to Renée Zellweger's iconic character. “If I don’t laugh at myself, I would cry.”
Especially because her kids Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4, were with their dad for the day. “I know they’re in great hands with an amazing dad, but that doesn’t mean I can’t feel some type of way,” she added. “Ordered $64 of Thai food, eating cookie dough (who has time to bake) and watched 9 episodes of Lioness.”
And the 43-year-old knows she isn’t the only lacking some Christmas spirit. “To all my parents out there going through this,” she continued, “I love you. What are all the tips for powering through?”
Well, ask and you shall receive, Teddi.
"The first one was brutal and I wish I could say it gets easier but even a new husband and a baby and it’s still not normal to not have all your babies under one roof on Christmas,” Jana Kramer wrote in the comments. “Sending love. You got this momma."
Added Real Housewives of Dubai's Caroline Stanbury, “It gets easier and now i am sitting with my kids and my ex husband having an amazing christmas again.”
Back in November, Teddi announced she and Edwin had broken up after 13 years of marriage.
"After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce," she wrote on Instagram. Nov 2. "My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter."

"Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors," she continued, "I felt being open, honest and vulnerable was the best path forward."
And she's taken that to heart.
"I know that I am gonna keep working on feeling my best so that I can show up the best for my kids and my life and my work," Teddi shared on a November episode of her and Tamra Judge's Two T's in a Pod podcast. "I think that's the biggest thing for me right now."
