Teddi Mellencamp Turns To Kyle Richards Amid Divorce

Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp became very close when the latter joined RHOBH in Season 8. They even double-dated with their husbands and enjoyed time together. Unfortunately, Kyle and her husband of nearly thirty years, Mauricio Umansky called it quits in July 2023. He has since moved out of their home and began romancing philanthropist, Nikita Kahn. At the same time, rumors had been flying that Kyle was having an affair with country singer, Morgan Wade. This has never been validated but viewers noted how giddy Kyle got the moment Morgan appeared on RHOBH.

Despite Teddi getting fired after Season 10, she and Kyle maintained a close friendship. She even appeared on a few episodes after the fact. Most recently, Teddi shared that she still felt that Kyle and Mauricio could reconcile and it was not out of the question. However, no one knew that Teddi was in the same boat as her best friend. She and her husband, Edwin Arroyave have just filed for divorce. They split in October and it is alleged that Teddi was having an affair. Yet, Edwin was supposedly unfaithful, as well.

Now, Teddi has turned to Kyle for advice during these trying times. According to People, Kyle Richards is doing the best she can to offer her former co-star a shoulder whenever she needs it:

“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.”

Yes, because of how close they are, Kyle knew what was going on. Still, it does make the split any easier, especially since Teddi and Edwin have three children plus his daughter from a previous relationship:

“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.”

No Matter What, Kyle’s Got Her Back

The one good thing that came from Teddi Mellencamp’s time on RHOBH was her friendship with Kyle Richards. She maintains that no matter what time it is, Teddi is welcome at her home for whatever support she needs:

“She can lean on me and show up at my door anytime she wants, no matter what time of night it is.”

Kyle also noted that Teddi has seen what she went through, especially having it happen in public and on reality television. So, she also has even more words for her friend being out in the reality sphere:

“So, I think you can just, you just have to focus on your kids … You have to tune out the noise.”

They both have to deal with infidelity rumors though Teddi has yet to address the allegations of an affair with her married horse trainer. More so, there was a supposed brawl with his wife so there’s a lot to unpack with that one.

Do you think that Kyle is giving good advice when it comes to focusing solely on the children? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
