Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp and her husband Edwin Arroyave are separating after 13 years of marriage and earlier this week we reported rumors of an affair behind the split. We are now finding out that those rumors are actually true.
It has been confirmed that Teddi Mellencamp had an affair with her daughters horse trainer, Simon Schroeder.
Teddi and Simon met when he began working with her 10-year-old. Teddi and Simon were also together in Florida while Simon’s pregnant 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,’ the source told DailyMail.com.
‘When Simon returned, Karli found text messages on Simon’s phone that exposed the affair. She confronted Simon and Teddi about it and they confessed. Teddi promised it would not happen again.’
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.“
The source claims that Teddi decided to file for divorce once she got caught in the affair.
‘She filed for divorce from Edwin so that he did not have the chance to file and get her for adultery. It has been alleged that the marriage ended because Edwin cheated on Teddi, but it is actually the other way around.’
On May 29, his wife congratulated her husband and Mellencamp on Toad’s success at a horse show.
‘So beyond proud of Simon’s hard work with Teddi Mellencamp’s Totally!’ Postel wrote on Instagram.
‘Beautiful consistent rounds at the Devon Horseshow in the High Performance… a huge feat from where Simon & Toad’s journey began,’ she continued, before adding: ‘Can’t wait to watch Teddi take on the weekend.’
Teddi liked the post and follows Karli Postel on Instagram but Karli does not follow her back.
Following the separation announcement, Teddi Mellencamp staged a photo op via TMZ of her and husband Edwin outside of her house. In the photo Teddi appears to look down while her husband Edwin comforts her as she awaits a car holding onto a suitcase.
