Amid her brave battle, Teddi's estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, has stood by her side. Despite divorce filing in November, the couple is still living under the same roof with Edwin caring for their children while she's focusing on her health. "It's all the things that I loved about our marriage but without all the problems," she said.
"I'm endlessly proud of your resilience and courage," Edwin applauded his estranged wife's resilience. "The way you keep pushing forward, no matter the setback, is nothing short of inspiring."
