Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp and her husband Edwin Arroyave are separating after 13 years of marriage and it’s even been alleged Teddi was having an affair. While no one knows for sure what happened between the couple, Teddi Mellencamp’s BFF Kyle Richards is offering some advice.
Kyle weighed in the announcement telling People she has known they were going through a “difficult time” adding, “I obviously speak to Teddi all the time. Obviously it’s sad no matter what … And unfortunately I can give some advice for living through this in the public eye.”
Kyle says the hardest part about a separation is what it can do to children, “It doesn’t matter if the kids are little or they’re grown. My girls struggled a lot with our separation even though they’re grown.”
Kyle Richards made sure to express her support for Teddi saying, “She can lean on me and show up at my door anytime she wants, no matter what time of night it is. She’s watched me go through this and she knows. So, I think you can just, you just have to focus on your kids … You have to tune out the noise.”
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky shocked Bravoverse when they decided to separate after 27 years of marriage.
Teddi announced her separation last weekend writing, “After a great deal of care and consideration, I 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. 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.“
