As a seasoned observer of human dynamics and relationships, I find myself deeply engrossed in the complex web of events unfolding in the lives of these celebrities. The tumultuous journey of Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is particularly intriguing.


Teddi Mellencamp’s romantic involvement with a married horse trainer ultimately led to the dissolution of her 13-year marriage with Edwin Arroyave.

According to a source, DailyMail.com reports that a former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member, aged 43, and her equestrian partner Simon Schroeder, who hails from Germany, were involved in a secret romance lasting several months, both being married at the time.

To complicate things further, Schroeder and this other person were in Florida at the same time as his wife, Karli Postel, was having their second child in California.

According to the source, Karli found it odd that her husband was in Florida at the time she was delivering a baby.

Upon Simon’s arrival, Karli discovered incriminating text messages on his phone, revealing an affair. Confronting both Simon and Teddi, she was met with confessions. Teddi vowed that such occurrences would cease in the future.

In my expertise on living well, I myself chose not to disclose my discovery immediately to my partner Edwin. Instead, I opted for giving Simon another opportunity and continued our relationship. However, last month, evidence emerged indicating that his infidelity persisted and had evolved into something “emotional.

Simon often engaged in dishonest acts, and Karli had grown weary of being associated with him. It wasn’t until last month that Edwin discovered about the infidelity, as Karli revealed it to him then.

The source claims that Teddi decided to file for divorce once she got caught in the affair.

She initiated the divorce proceedings against Edwin before he could do so, aiming to prevent him from accusing her of infidelity. Contrary to rumors, it was actually Teddi who had been unfaithful in the marriage.

Schroeder, an expert in horse jumping, has been tutoring Mellencamp’s steed, affectionately known as ‘Toad,’ on the finer points of the sport.

On May 29, his wife congratulated her husband and Mellencamp on Toad’s success at a horse show. 

‘So beyond proud of Simon’s hard work with Teddi Mellencamp’s Totally!’ Postel wrote on Instagram.

She went on to say, “The stunningly harmonious performances at the Devon Horseshow within the High Performance sector are truly impressive. This remarkable achievement is a testament to the incredible journey Simon and Toad have embarked upon.” Later, she expressed her excitement about Teddi competing over the weekend.

Mellencamp ‘liked’ the post and still follows Postel on Instagram. Postel does not follow her back.

On May 31st, Mellencamp applauded Schroeder, approximately when his wife was delivering their child, while he was riding Toad at the Devon Horse Show.

She expressed deep affection by writing, “I’m completely smitten with you today, little horse boy,” accompanied by a video from a competition. “Everything I requested of you, you fulfilled. Thank you for making my first time back at the @devon1896 arena in 25 years feel like a dream.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I am profoundly grateful that he is mine. A heartfelt thank you goes out to @simonschroeder85 for the outstanding equestrian experiences we shared earlier this week. Also, my deep appreciation extends to @schroedersporthorses and @windsong2121 for their invaluable efforts in making this show a reality.

12 weeks back, she commended Schroeder and Schroeder Sporthorses – an establishment offering training, sales, and investments in Hunter, Jumper, and Equitation disciplines – once more, expressing gratitude for the remarkable performances he displayed.

She expressed her gratitude to @Schroedersporthorses, saying they’ve consistently been a reliable team. She will always be thankful for them providing her with the most enjoyable horse she has ever had the pleasure of riding.

DailyMail.com contacted a rep for Mellencamp but they had no comment. 

Postel also said no comment, while Schröeder refused to comment when contacted.

Mellencamp and Arroyave are now feuding over spousal support amid their contentious divorce battle.

On a Friday, Arroyave, aged 47, submitted his counterargument to Mellencamp’s divorce filing, and it appears he is challenging her demands for child custody and alimony.

In his divorce filing, made last week and publicly announced on November 2, Mellencamp sought primary custody of their three children – Slate (12), Cruz (10), and Dove (4) – with a reasonable and frequent visitation arrangement for Arroyave.

As per court papers, Arroyave is challenging for shared physical and legal guardianship of their minor offspring.

It was disclosed that they had been attending couples therapy for a significant period prior to their split, which lasted for several years.

In the recently unveiled court papers (acquired by Us Weekly), it was disclosed that their prenuptial agreement is something he desires the court to uphold, as his soon-to-be former spouse.

He opposed her request for him to provide her with spousal support and to terminate the court’s ability to award Arroyave spousal support.

In his plea, Arroyave asked the court to make Mellencamp responsible for providing him with alimony, and further requested that the court prevent Mellencamp from receiving any form of support in the future.

In his reply, he mentioned that according to their prenuptial agreement, the specifications for the amount and length of alimony are outlined.

Additionally, Arroyave verified both names for the purpose of covering their lawyer’s expenses, as Mellencamp had asked him to shoulder all the legal bills on his own.

Furthermore, Arroyave asserted that the prenuptial agreement specified that ‘each person’s individual assets, earnings from various resources, and debts belong exclusively to them, unless otherwise stated within it.’

In contrast to what the reality star reported, Arroyave stated that their actual separation occurred in November 1st, but Mellencamp asserted it was October 20th instead.

Mellencamp is the daughter of famed singer-songwriter John Mellencamp. 

She rapidly became well-known when she joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2017, and she stayed on the program for three seasons as a permanent cast member until her dismissal.

From that point forward, she’s appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and Name That Tune, and co-hosts the popular Real Housewives podcast Two Ts in a Pod together with Tamra Judge.
