AceShowbiz - "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum Teddi Mellencamp has been seen spending time with her horse trainer Simon Schroeder, just over a month after announcing her separation from husband Edwin Arroyave. The pair attended her 12-year-old daughter Slate's equestrian competition in Thermal, California, which has further fueled ongoing speculation about their relationship following rumors of an alleged affair.

Teddi, dressed in a head-to-toe Alo ensemble and a brown fedora hat, looked every bit the proud mom as she snapped photos of Slate navigating a challenging course. Simon, casually dressed in a white Under Armour hoodie and black sweatpants, was seen watching the event from the arena fence.

The details of Teddi's divorce were publicly announced in early November, following a 13-year marriage to Edwin. In her statement, Teddi emphasized her commitment to her children's wellbeing as she navigates this new chapter. She said, "After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce." She added, "Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do, but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest, and vulnerable was the best path forward."

However, the narrative took a twist as rumors emerged that Teddi's relationship with Simon Schroeder, who was married at the time, contributed significantly to her decision to end her marriage. Insiders have revealed that Teddi allegedly cheated on Edwin multiple times with Simon, which has raised questions about the true cause of the divorce. Interestingly, it is also reported that Edwin had his own infidelity issues, with an alleged affair between 2015 and 2016.

Despite the scandal, Teddi has been reflective and accountable for her actions. In a recent Instagram post emphasizing personal growth and accountability, she wrote, "The only person who can change your life is you. We have two options: pretend to be a victim or stand up and fight for yourself. We all deserve peace and happiness." On her podcast "Two Ts in a Pod", Teddi reiterated the complex nature of the situation, pointing out that "there's multiple sides to every story."

Throughout the turmoil, Teddi continues to prioritize her children ... Slate, Cruz and Dove. With a keen focus on family privacy amidst public scrutiny, Teddi remains steadfast in guiding her kids through this challenging period. Her appearance at Slate's equestrian competition, sharing achievements with pride, underscores her commitment to her children's joy and accomplishments.
