Teddi Mellencamp flirts with Kevin Costner amid Edwin Arroyave’s divorce
Teddi Mellencamp is reportedly showing an interest in actor Kevin Costner following her recent divorce from Edwin Arroyave.
The 43-year-old reality star made headlines after a playful exchange on the Two Ts in a Pod podcast when cohost Tamra Judge asked if Mellencamp could be available for Costner.
In response, Mellencamp humorously shared her Instagram handle, saying,
“Kevin, if you’re tuning in, my Instagram handle is @teddimellencamp”
This flirtation comes shortly after Mellencamp announced her separation from Arroyave after 13 years of marriage, which was made public on November 2.
The estranged couple also shared three children Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4.
In her divorce filing, Mellencamp cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.
Initially, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” sought sole custody of their children but later changed her request to joint custody.
The couple’s relationship began to deteriorate after rumors surfaced about Teddi Mellencamp’s affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder.
In a recent podcast, when asked about the affair, she did not provide a clear answer, stating that there are “multiple sides to every story.”
Teddi Mellencamp’s affairs with Simon Schroeder
Simon and Teddi had an affair that lasted several months. The affair reportedly came to light when Schroeder’s wife Karli Postel discovered inappropriate text messages on Simon’s phone.
Karli’s suspicions were further fueled when Simon wasn’t present during the birth of their second child while he was in Florida with Teddi.
Following this revelation, she confronted both him and Teddi. Initially, she chose not to inform her husband, Edwin Arroyave, about the infidelity.
She later chose to tell him because she found more evidence that indicated the affair had turned into an emotional connection.
Kevin Costner’s current relationship status
Kevin Costner, the Oscar-winning actor, has been single since his divorce from Christine Baumgartner. In April 2023, the now-ex-couple separated and their divorce was finalized in February 2024.
The couple shares three children, Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 14.
Although Costner has been rumored to be linked with singer Jewel, he clarified in June on the “Howard Stern Show” that they are “friends.”
Recently, on an episode of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Sutton Stracke alleged that her co-star Kyle Richards had tried to “hook up” with Costner in Aspen, Colorado.
Richards responded to this claim by stating it was just a “joke. The 55-year-old TV personality admitted that Costner is a “good-looking man” but denied the romantic involvement.
She said,
“That is definitely not true,”
Mellencamp and Judge, who are fellow cast members, further discussed the claim, with Mellencamp urging that Stracke was “just joking.” He said,
“I think they both have homes in Aspen. She said maybe they met for, like, a second. Maybe one minute total. It would be like if I were to accidentally bump into Colin Farrell.”
Judge supported this by stating,
“Sorry people, just another rumor.”
