Former 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Teddi Mellencamp has been settling into life after her divorce from Edwin Arroyave, to whom she was married for 13 years. The two, parents of three children, Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4, announced their split last month. For now, Teddi is staying with her good friend and former 'RHOBH' co-star Kyle Richards. Living in Kyle's "glam room," Teddi joked about the sleeping arrangement being cozy and thanked Kyle for having her back during this tough time.

The two have leaned on each other as Kyle is also working through a recent separation from Mauricio Umansky. For the children's sake, Teddi and Edwin have employed a "nesting" method of co-parenting in which the kids remain in the family home, and the parents rotate in and out. The model, Teddi says, is working and proving to be a very stable way for the family to ease into the change. Teddi and Edwin, after some initial haggling, settled on joint legal and physical custody of their children.
