Teddi Mellencamp's estranged husband Edwin Arroyave visits star amid emergency brain surgery

Teddi Mellencamp's estranged husband Edwin Arroyave and their children visited the star shortly before she underwent emergency surgery after doctors found tumors on her brain. The RHOBH star, 43, and Arroyave, 47, announced their split late last year in November after 13 years of marriage and welcoming three children: Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, four. The estranged couple are currently working their way through a divorce but it appears they are still on good terms.

On Wednesday, Mellencamp took to her Instagram page to give a devastating health update and revealed 'multiple' tumors have been found on her brain following a years-long battle with skin cancer. Before having emergency surgery to remove two of the larger tumors, Teddi was visited by her loved ones and close friends. Edwin also rushed to the hospital to be by Teddi's side and their kids also comforted their mother shortly before the procedure.

In a photo shared to his main Instagram page, Arroyave could be seen standing next to Mellencamp who rested in a hospital bed.

She lifted her arm to place her hand on the back of his neck as his own gently laid on her shoulder.

In the caption, Arroyave wrote: 'Jeremiah 17:14: Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.'. 'Lord, I lift up @teddimellencamp to You. You are the Great Healer, and I ask for Your healing touch upon her body.'. 'Restore her strength, renew her spirit, and let her feel Your comforting presence. Grant her peace, hope, and full recovery. In Jesus' name, Amen,' he concluded.

Edwin also shared a short clip to his Instagram stories which featured their youngest child Dove. He filmed her asking, 'Dad, are you gonna stay here?' and he replied with, 'Yeah, this is my bed. This is where I sleep.'. Arroyave then panned the camera slightly to show that he was sitting on a couch as his daughter questioned, 'Are you gonna watch mama because she doesn't like staying alone?'. 'Yeah, we're watching mama,' he answered as he turned the phone camera to show Teddi laying in the hospital bed while surrounded by her other children and close friends.

'Is she gonna wake up and watch TV?' Dove then asked, with Edwin responding with, 'Yeah, she's going to watch TV.'. Edwin also rushed to the hospital to be by Teddi's side and their kids also comforted their mother shortly before the procedure.

'Yeah, we're watching mama,' he answered as he turned the phone camera to show Teddi laying in the hospital bed while surrounded by her other children and close friends. The video concluded with Arroyave telling their youngest child, 'Thanks for visiting us baby doll,' and she sweetly replied with, 'You're welcome.'. Teddi and Edwin tied the knot in 2011 but the reality star later announced their shock divorce after 13 years of marriage last year on November 2.

And shortly after, a source claimed to DailyMail.com that Mellencamp had an affair with her horse trainer Simon Schroeder. The Real Housewives alum broke her silence after news of the alleged cheating scandal came to light. Along with a glammed up selfie, she added a cryptic caption which read, 'When you're being pushed into the shadows always find your light.'. Also in November, a separate insider told Us Weekly that Teddi and Edwin had been in couples therapy 'for years' before announcing their separation.

Earlier this month on The Skinny Confidential podcast, Mellencamp further reflected on their separation. 'Me and Edwin had some of the most amazing years and the most amazing times, and when we met it was hot and it was all the things, and then there would be somebody else.'. 'And I'd be like, "It's okay, I'm gonna work through it, I'm gonna make him love me more!" Then you have kids and things happen,' she said.

'Probably at the point in time when Edwin was ready to start working on it and really change, I probably stopped. But I never told him I was checked out. I think that's the problem.'.
