Teddi Mellencamp isn’t “okay” amid her messy divorce from Edwin Arroyave, whom she has been accused of cheating on with horse trainer Simon Schroeder.
As rumors continue to swirl regarding her relationship with Simon, who was both married and expecting a child with Karli Postel when the alleged months-long affair was believed to have taken place, the 43-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum offered a couple of updates on her Instagram Story.
“It’s okay not to be okay. We are humans. We make mistakes. We have highs and lows but it’s one foot in front of the other. It’s Monday morning. Thank you to my [Go All in By Teddi] team. I am up following my morning routine,” Teddi wrote in the caption of a November 18 post, which included a photo of green juice.
Teddi also mentioned her All In accountability team in the caption of a clip of herself on the treadmill.
“Needed this run,” she wrote in the second caption.
Teddi, who shares three children with Edwin, 47, including daughter Slate, 12, son Cruz, 10, and daughter Dove, 4, filed for divorce earlier this month. Shortly thereafter, her and Simon’s alleged affair was exposed amid rumors that Edwin may have also cheated.
Following the news, Teddi addressed the claims against her on her podcast, Two Ts in a Pod, saying there were “multiple sides” to the story and refusing to “confirm or deny” anything.
“There’s many people involved, and I once again say the same statement I said before: The kids, they are the priority. And so for the time being that’s all I’m going to discuss on this,” she shared.
While Teddi won’t directly speak on her alleged relationship with Simon, she did address the possibility of cheating on an old episode of her podcast, admitting that she once feared she’d cheat on her ex-husband.
“I was married before. I got a divorce. There was a point in time where I would have drinks out at night and then I would think, ‘I don’t want to go home to my husband and this isn’t a good sign,’” she recalled, via Breaking the Rules Podclips on Instagram. “But I remember getting to the point where [I said to him], ‘Listen, I have a couple drinks out with my friends and then I don’t want to come home. This isn’t a good sign. We either need to get a divorce or I’m probably gonna cheat on you.’ It’s true. I did give him a heads up, and then we had a nice little divorce, and that’s how it went.”
Teddi went on to wonder why men think they can cheat and get away with it before noting the possibility of cheating with a friend of the family.
“It’s worse if you cheat with somebody when there’s also a friend that you know involved,” she revealed. “It just means you care more about yourself. You’re obsessed with yourself and you think you can get away with it.”
