Edwin Arroyave's heartwarming church outing with his children

Edwin Arroyave, 47, posted a heartwarming car selfie on his Instagram Stories with his children—Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, four—as they headed off to church on November 3.

Captioning the photo as, "Church bound with these beautiful souls❤️," he set the image to the song 'Never Alone' by Tori Kelly.

The family moments didn’t stop there. Arroyave shared more videos from their time at church, as well as clips from the ride back home.

In one especially sweet video, young Dove sings along to 'Desperate' by Mosaic MSC, with her sister Slate encouraging her saying, "Good job Dove!"

Arroyave’s Instagram Stories also included personal reflections on health and wellness that day, seemingly hinting at his current mindset.

He shared a screenshot from an app tracking his sleep, revealing a solid nine hours and 10 minutes of rest after recent bouts of sleeplessness.

"I recently spoke about just getting 3 hours of sleep a night,” he wrote, adding, “Finally got some rest!”

According to People, in another post, Arroyave shared a selfie from a hot yoga studio, dressed in athletic wear, with a message about resilience and the importance of consistent habits.

“You’re not always going to be motivated or inspired. That’s where rituals & habits come in,” he wrote.

He then added, “Having good habits is what will get you through your dark days. It’s when you’re under pressure that your true character is revealed."

Teddi Mellencamp announces divorce, says children’s well-being is her priority

Teddi Mellencamp announced on November 2 that she is divorcing Edwin Arroyave. She also expressed her commitment to navigate this phase thoughtfully.

"After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce," she wrote, emphasizing that her children’s well-being remains her top priority.

She concluded, "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 have felt being open, honest, and vulnerable is the best path forward."

The daughter of singer John Mellencamp, Teddi previously revealed that Arroyave didn't believe in marriage when they first met.

“He came home and he had tears in his eyes, and I had never really seen him cry before," Mellencamp said in a 2019 interview with Yahoo Lifestyle.

"He just put a blank check down on the bedside table, and he was like: ‘Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I went to go buy the ring today. I’m sorry. I just don’t believe in marriage and I don’t want you to break up with me'," Mellencamp recounted.

Mellencamp did not make any rash decisions and told Arroyave that they should focus on having a good time with family on Christmas Eve the following day. Surprisingly, he actually gave her a ring that day.

“Your mind plays tricks on you, and at the end of the day, I knew that this was the girl that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with,” Arroyave said.

Unfortunately, this fairytale romance has come to an end, leaving their fans shocked and in disbelief.
