“It was a long time coming and they have been up and down for the last seven-plus years,” a source close to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum tells Us Weekly. “This isn’t the first time Teddi has wanted a divorce, and it has been an ongoing conversation between them for years.”

On Saturday, November 2, Teddi announced that she had made the “difficult decision to file for divorce” from Edwin after 13 years of marriage.
“My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter,” the Bravoleb shared in a post on Instagram.
She continued: “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.”
