Teddi Mellencamp might have filed divorce from her husband Edwin Arroyave in November but, on Thursday, she decided to commemorate the 16th anniversary of the day they met at former LA bar, Coco Deville, by posting throwback snaps.
‘I will forever be grateful for that night,’ the newly-separated 43-year-old – who boasts 1.2M social media followers – gushed on Instagram.
‘I would never have known I wanted kids until meeting 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 Skyline Security CEO.
Edwin invited his large group of relatives to compete in the ‘First Annual Arroyave Christmas Games’ and the champion turned out to be little Slate, who’s already a competitive equestrian.

Meanwhile, the RHOBH guest star declared she was in her ‘Bridget Jones era’ as she admitted ‘feeling some type of way’ about celebrating her ‘first Christmas without my kids.’
But Teddi quickly reunited with her blended brood on Thursday where they enjoyed a family karaoke session to Jo Dee Messina’s 1996 track Heads Carolina, Tails California.
Earlier that day, Mellencamp treated her kids to a fun-filled day at LA outdoor mall The Grove where they ate calamari at La Piazza and shopped at clothing store, Edikted.
The nepo-baby of John Mellencamp refused to ‘confirm or deny’ DailyMail.com’s report that she embarked on a months-long affair with her horse trainer Simon Schröeder while his wife Karli Postel was pregnant with their second child.
‘There’s multiple sides to every story,’ Teddi stated on her podcast Two Ts in a Pod last month. ‘There’s many people involved.’
Postel reportedly ‘found text messages on Simon’s phone that exposed the affair’ and they confessed when she confronted them about it.
‘Teddi promised it would not 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 proof that the affair was ongoing and that it had become “emotional.”
‘Simon had a history of cheating and Karli was tired of being connected to him. Edwin only learned of the affair late last month when Karli told him.’

Arroyave had written that he ‘couldn’t be prouder’ of Mellencamp as recent as October 25 (pictured) and gushed on July 4: ‘She’s not just the woman of my dreams, she’s also the mother of my dreams, the wife of my dreams, and the love of my life’

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 requested that he pay her spousal support and attorney fees.
