Amid the rumors about what caused the split, Teddi said that the story is very nuanced.  

"And what I can say, which I'm trying very — there's multiple sides to every story," Teddi said on the November 13 episode of the podcast. "I'm not going to confirm or deny anything. But, there's many people involved. And I once again say the same statement I said before: The kids, they're the priority. And so for the time being, that's all I'm going to discuss on this."

She added, "We're moving along, I just didn't want to get the, 'Oh, you're such a hypocrite,' [comments]," Teddi continued, before doubling down on her comment about wanting to focus on the pair's three young kids, Slate, Cruz, and Dove Arroyave. "You know, small kids are involved. Family members. There's, you know, you don't want to throw other people under the bus."

Teddi went on to say that there's a lot that she's "not ready to process or talk about or involve the kids in" regarding her split. 

"But, you know, I'm sure with time there will be more conversation," she continued. "And I hope that in this time we can just understand, even saying that much was a lot for this moment."

Why is Teddi Mellencamp getting divorced?

The former diamond holder took to her Instagram feed on November 2 to confirm her split from Edwin 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. "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."
