Amid her ongoing divorce from Edwin Arroyave, Teddi Mellencamp seems to be leaning into her rumored romance with German horse trainer Simon Schröeder.
On the afternoon of December 14, 2024, the infamous pair was spotted together at Teddi’s daughter Slate’s equestrian competition in the Thermal community of California.
In leaked images first obtained by Daily Mail, the reality TV star donned a dark olive sweatsuit from the premium athletic brand Alo Yoga, accessorized with a chic brown fedora hat and stylish black sunglasses.
Simon, on the other hand, sported a black-and-white look, which included a white hoodie, black jeans, a black baseball cap, and white sneakers.
In one photo, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum was captured snapping pictures of her daughter as a proud mom, while Schröeder casually sat on a nearby wooden fence, keeping an attentive eye on the event.
In another candid shot, Teddi and Simon were seen laughing and chatting, with the latter flashing a wide grin. Though Mellencamp had her back to the camera, their apparent joy around one another was evident.
Teddi Mellencamp’s Alleged Affair Led To Divorce From Edwin Arroyave
On November 2, 2024, Teddi took to Instagram to announce her decision to divorce her now ex-husband, Edwin. While keeping the details of their marital woes private, she described the split as a mutual and amicable decision.
However, just days after the divorce filing, an anonymous source close to the couple revealed the shocking truth behind their separation in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail.
According to the insider, Mellencamp had been involved in a months-long affair with Schröeder, which was first discovered by his wife, Karli, in May 2024. The source revealed,
“Karli found text messages on Simon’s phone that exposed the affair. She confronted Simon and Teddi about it, and they confessed. Teddi promised it would not happen again”.
Despite these promises, the affair reportedly continued. Therefore, in October 2024, Karli informed Arroyave of his wife’s ongoing infidelity, ultimately leading to their divorce.
However, neither Teddi Mellencamp nor her horse trainer have directly confirmed or denied the allegations surrounding their rumored affair yet.
Moreover, Teddi, who married Edwin in July 2011 after two years of dating, shares two daughters and a son with him. The couple is currently co-parenting their children as their divorce remains unfinalized.
As Teddi navigates her personal and public life amidst the ongoing scandal, all eyes are on her next moves with Simon. Will she continue to embrace her rumored romance? Only time will tell.
