Teddi Mellencamp will not be celebrating Thanksgiving with her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, after announcing their split.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 43, announced she would be filing for divorce from her estranged husband, 47, via Instagram on November 2.
The exes — who tied the knot in 2011 — share three kids: son Cruz and daughters Slate and Dove.
And while the holiday season often has the power to bring people together, it seems as though this will not be the case for the estranged duo, TMZ reports.
The reality star, who is the daughter of Hall of Fame rocker John Mellencamp, will bring her three kids to her famous dad’s house in Indiana for the holiday, the outlet adds.
Arroyave, for his part, will spend the day with his relatives, which includes his eldest daughter Isabella, whom he welcomed during a previous relationship.
It comes as Mellencamp said she has “taken accountability” for her role in her divorce from Arroyave by “apologizing” for any wrongdoing after her affair with her married horse trainer was revealed.
“The only person who can change your life is you. We have 2 options, pretend to be a victim or stand up and fight for yourself. We all deserve peace and happiness,” Mellencamp posted on an Instagram video of herself working out Sunday.
“I have cried and mourned. I have taken accountability and apologized for things I have done wrong. Now, I have given myself permission to grow and thrive.”
She also explained why she has chosen to remain silent amid speculation about the demise of her marriage.
“I have decided to not pander to the media and tell my side because in the big scheme of things [clickbait] means nothing and of course 3 sides to every story,” she went on.
“How I can stand up and show up for the people that do does [mean something]. This is called being an adult. This is what saying it with my full chest means.”
Earlier this month, a source told Page Six that Mellencamp had an affair with a married friend, telling us that she allegedly stepped out on Arroyave multiple times beginning in May.
Page Six later identified the Mellencamp’s mystery lover as her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder.
Following the unmasking, sources close to the reality star told Page Six that Arroyave, in turn, had stepped out on her in 2015.
