Teddi Mellencamp ‘Afraid’ of Ex Edwin Arroyave as He Vows to ‘Take Her Down’ in Explosive Divorce Battle!
Former RHOBH star Teddi Mellencamp’s divorce from Edwin Arroyave is spiraling, with sources claiming she’s “afraid” of him as he’s “determined to take her down.”
The couple’s separation comes amid longstanding rumors of infidelity on both sides, with insiders hinting at unresolved issues that made the situation “more painful” for the entire family. “Teddi is focused solely on her kids, making their well-being her top priority,” the source shared. “She hates that her children are caught in the middle of this and that it’s all so public.”
A source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Teddi has grown “afraid” of Edwin, who is reportedly “determined to take her down” as they navigate the fallout.
According to court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun, Teddi, 43, filed for divorce earlier this month, listing the separation date as October 20, 2024, while Edwin listed it as November 1, 2024. Teddi is seeking primary custody of their three children, Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4. Edwin, however, is pushing for joint physical and legal custody and has opposed her request for spousal support, even requesting that she pay him spousal support instead.
The divorce drama only intensified with rumors of affairs. A report from Us Weekly alleged that Teddi was involved in a months-long affair with her married horse trainer, Simon Schroeder, while still married to Edwin.
According to an insider, the horse show community was well aware of the alleged affair, which reportedly caused tensions that boiled over at a recent event.
“Teddi and Edwin had been working on their marriage despite past indiscretions, but it reached a breaking point,” the source claimed, adding that they “stayed together for the sake of the kids” but ultimately couldn’t resolve their differences.
Amid the turmoil, Teddi has reportedly relied on close friends, including RHOBH co-star Kyle Richards, to help her through. “Her support from her girlfriends, specifically Kyle, has been crucial in navigating this mess,” the source shared. “If it wasn’t for her friends and love for her kids, it’s hard to say how she would be coping.”
Edwin, 47, is reportedly focused on maintaining a positive public image and securing custody of their children. “He wants to come out on top and is willing to do whatever it takes,” the source alleged. “Teddi is scared of how far he might go.”
