Teddi Mellencamp thanks ex Edwin Arroyave in bizarre tribute and admits she’s ‘far from perfect’

Teddi Mellencamp may have filed for divorce from her husband Edwin Arroyave in November, but on Thursday she decided to commemorate the 16th anniversary of the day they met at the former LA bar, Coco Deville, by posting throwback snaps.

“I will forever be grateful for that night,” the recently divorced 43-year-old – who has 1.2 million social media followers – continued Instagram.

‘I never knew I wanted children until I met my amazing stepdaughter Isabella. My love for her changed my life and five years later came Slate, then Cruz, and then our miracle baby Dove in 2020.”

Teddi – whose alleged affair ended her 13-year marriage – concluded: “I may be far from perfect, but being a mother has been the greatest gift you could have given me. Thank you, always and forever.”

All four of Mellencamp’s children: stepdaughter Bella, 16; daughter Slate, 12; son Cruz, 10; and daughter Dove, 4, spent Christmas with the 47-year-old CEO of Skyline Security.

Edwin invited his large group of family members to participate in the ‘First Annual Arroyave Christmas Games’ and the champion turned out to be little Slate, who is already a competitive equestrian.

Meanwhile, the RHOBH guest star declared she was in her “Bridget Jones era” as she admitted to “feeling some kind of way” about celebrating her “first Christmas without my kids.”

But Teddi quickly reunited with her mixed brood on Thursday, where they enjoyed a family karaoke session to Jo Dee Messina’s 1996 song Heads Carolina, Tails California.

Earlier that day, Mellencamp treated her kids to a fun day at LA outdoor mall The Grove, where they ate calamari at La Piazza and shopped at clothing store Edkeekted.

John Mellencamp’s fake baby refused to ‘confirm or deny’ DailyMail.com’s report that she had embarked on a months-long affair with her horse trainer Simon Schröeder while his wife Karli Postel was pregnant with their second child.

“There are multiple sides to every story,” Teddi said in her podcast Two T’s in a Pod last month. ‘There are a lot of people involved.’

Postel allegedly found “text messages on Simon’s phone that exposed the affair” and they confessed when she confronted them.

“Teddi promised it wouldn’t happen again,” an insider told DailyMail.com.

“Karli didn’t tell Edwin when she found out. She was willing to give Simon another chance and stayed with him. But last month Karli found evidence that the affair was still ongoing and had become ’emotional’.

“Simon had a history of cheating and Karli was tired of being associated with him. Edwin only learned of the affair at the end of last month when Karli told him.’

In divorce filings, the Colombian-born, LA-raised entrepreneur requested joint physical and legal custody of their children, while the Indiana-born Bravo-lebrity wants primary custody.

Edwin wants Teddi to pay him spousal support, citing their prenuptial agreement, while she asked him to pay her spousal support and attorney fees.
