Teddi Mellencamp turned heads at her daughter Slate’s equestrian competition in Thermal, California, sparking rumors and media frenzy.
Unexpected Duo at the Competition
The former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star was seen alongside her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder. This sighting comes just weeks after rumors of an affair led to her divorce from Edwin Arroyave.

“It was a proud moment,” Teddi shared on Instagram. “@slate_mellencamp_eq fought her way around in her biggest class she has ever done. #proudmom”
Social Media Buzz and Speculation
Fans flooded her Instagram with comments and questions. Teddi didn’t shy away from sharing snippets of the event, including Slate’s victorious celebration with her horse sporting a winning ribbon.

Fashion Choices Spark Conversations
Teddi’s outfit drew attention as much as her presence. She donned a head-to-toe Alo ensemble, complemented by a brown fedora hat. Nike sneakers and oversized sunglasses added a casual flair to her look, blending comfort with style seamlessly.
“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,” she captioned one of her videos.
Divorce Details Unveiled
The split from Edwin Arroyave was officially announced on November 2. In her statement, Teddi emphasized her commitment to her children’s privacy and well-being during this transition.
“After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” she wrote. “My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.”
Allegations and Insider Reports
Less than two weeks after the announcement, sources revealed that Teddi had been unfaithful multiple times with Schroeder. An insider told the Daily Mail, “She filed for divorce from Edwin so that he did not have the chance to file and get her for adultery.”
Contrary to initial reports suggesting Edwin was at fault, it appears Teddi’s actions played a significant role in the marriage’s dissolution.
Edwin’s Past Affairs Surface
Adding another layer to the story, sources also disclosed that Edwin had an affair with a woman named Missy between 2015 and 2016. This revelation shifts some perspectives on the couple’s tumultuous relationship over the years.
Family Dynamics and Future Prospects
Teddi and Edwin, who married in 2011, share three children: son Cruz and daughters Slate and Dove. Despite the personal upheaval, Teddi remains focused on her children’s activities and their happiness.
