Congratulations are in order to Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave and her husband Edwin Arroyave. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple are expecting their third child together. “I’m in my second trimester, 14 weeks,” she told Us Weekly.
Teddi initially kept her pregnancy “under wraps,” she told the publication, “Everything’s good and I’m in the clear, so I’m just starting to get to that point where I’m sharing with everybody. Plus now I have a bump, so there’s not much more hiding I’ll be able to do!”
The couple are already parents of Slate (6) and Cruz (5). Arroyave is also dad of 10-year-old daughter, Isabella, from a previous relationship.
“They are so excited,” the couple said about their kids reaction. “They’ve been talking about it for a long time and actually it’s been my son who’s been like, ‘Mom, we need to have another baby,’ and I never wanted to get his hopes up. So when we told him, he was through the roof. So excited.”
Teddi noted, “They’re already calling it ‘their baby,’ and they have names picked for if it’s a boy or a girl — they’re ready!”
While Teddi and Edwin went through IVF to conceive Slate and Cruz, this pregnancy was a surprise to them.
“My husband said, ‘I don’t want to see you going through IVF again — that was brutal,’” said Teddi. “It was so many rounds, but this time we really weren’t doing anything! I was on vacation! Just having fun with my family! It was a complete surprise. I didn’t even know I was because I didn’t have a regular cycle.”
The couple are “over the moon” ahead of their little one’s arrival.
“I said to my husband, ‘We don’t even fit in our cars anymore!’” the pregnant star tells Us. “Think about it, there’s six of us! I’m like… ‘We’re going to start having to look at minivans! What’s happening!?’”
She continued, “We have to really figure it out. We’re like, ‘Do we convert the playroom? What do we do?’ We haven’t even made those decisions yet, but we have to.”
She adds, telling Us Weekly, “I’m just in the past couple weeks a little more hesitant to do things I would normally do because it’s sinking in that I have a baby in my belly.”
