Teddi Mellencamp is ‘afraid’ of what ex Edwin Arroyave is ‘willing to do’ in divorce: report

Teddi Mellencamp is “scared” of the lengths her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, will go to “look good” after her alleged affair with a horse trainer caused their split.

Arroyave is “determined to come out on top for this divorce,” a source told The US Sun Wednesday.

“He wants to look good and wants to maintain custody of the kids so he’s willing to do whatever to make that happen.”

The source alleged that the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 43, is “scared it’s gotten to this point and has grown more and more afraid of what he’s willing to do.”

“Her support from her girlfriends, specifically Kyle Richards, has been helping her navigate this mess,” the insider added. “If it wasn’t for the support from her friends and her love for her kids, not sure what Teddi would do.”

The source further shared that Mellencamp is continuing to prioritize their kids’ “well-being” amid the public split. The former couple share daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 4, and son Cruz, 10.

“She hates [the kids] are being dragged through this and she hates even more so how public it’s become so shielding her kids from all of this negativity is her top priority,” the insider shared.

“Because of this, she is really disappointed Edwin can’t have the same grace towards her.” 

However, a source told us there is “there is zero truth to the report that Edwin is trying to take down Teddi.”

“He’s always wanted to keep this matter amicable for the whole family,” the insider added.

Reps for Mellencamp and Arroyave couldn’t be immediately reached for comment.

Just yesterday, Page Six revealed that Mellencamp was allegedly cheating on Arroyave with one of her longtime friends and horse trainer, Simon Schroeder.

Insiders told us that Mellencamp and Schroeder began their alleged affair in May and later traveled to Florida together for an equestrian event while his wife, Karli Postel, was giving birth to their second child in California.

“Karli thought it was suspicious that her husband was in Florida when she was giving birth,” a source told the Daily Mail on Wednesday.

Postel allegedly discovered the affair when she saw inappropriate text messages between Schroeder and Mellencamp upon their return to California.

“They confessed. Teddi promised it would not happen again,” the Daily Mail’s source said, adding that “Karli didn’t tell Edwin when she found out” because “she was willing to give Simon another chance.”

However, the situation changed last month after Postel found out the alleged affair had continued and gotten “emotional.”

Postel subsequently told Arroyave about the situation and Mellencamp filed for divorce shortly after.

“She filed for divorce from Edwin so that he did not have the chance to file and get her for adultery,” the Daily Mail’s source said. “It has been alleged that the marriage ended because Edwin cheated on Teddi, but it is actually the other way around.”

The “Two Ts in a Pod” co-host initially stunned Bravo fans when she filed for divorce from Arroyave on Nov. 1. He also filed to dissolve their marriage one week later and requested they honor their prenuptial agreement.

Mellencamp initially announced the divorce in an Instagram post on Nov. 2.
