Teddi Mellencamp Expresses Interest in Kevin Costner After Split from Edwin Arroyave.
Teddi Mellencamp, 43, is reportedly setting her sights on actor Kevin Costner, 69, after her separation from husband Edwin Arroyave, 47. During a recent episode of the Two Ts in a Pod podcast, cohost Tamra Judge jokingly suggested that Mellencamp might be available for Costner, prompting Mellencamp to play along and share her Instagram handle, saying, “Kevin, if you’re tuning in, my Instagram handle is @teddimellencamp.”
Teddi Mellencamp is making headlines after expressing interest in Yellowstone star Kevin Costner following her divorce from Edwin Arroyave. On the Two Ts in a Pod podcast, Mellencamp jokingly shared her Instagram handle for Costner to reach out. Shortly after, she posted a selfie with a playful caption about binging Yellowstone. This comes after Mellencamp announced her separation after 13 years of marriage, prioritizing her children’s well-being and starting a new chapter in her life. Could Kevin Costner be part of her fresh start?
On December 2, Mellencamp took to Instagram to share a selfie, humorously captioned, “Gonna binge Yellowstone just in case K. Costner reads Page Six…”
The announcement of Mellencamp’s split from Arroyave came on November 2, after 13 years of marriage. She shared in a heartfelt post that she had made the "difficult decision to file for divorce" following careful consideration. She stressed that her priority was her children’s privacy and well-being.
Court documents reveal that Mellencamp and Arroyave separated on October 20, citing "irreconcilable differences." Mellencamp initially sought sole custody of their children, Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4, but later amended her request to joint physical and legal custody. Arroyave, in turn, asked for joint custody of the kids.
Sources confirmed that Mellencamp had previously been involved in an affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder, months before the divorce proceedings. While Mellencamp admitted to her mistake, she explained that both she and Arroyave had made contributions to the dissolution of their marriage.
In a post from November 24, Mellencamp emphasized her personal growth and accountability, stating, “I have cried and mourned. I have taken accountability and apologized for things I have done wrong. Now, I have given myself permission to grow and thrive.”
Meanwhile, Arroyave broke his silence on the divorce during a November 27 podcast, focusing on his peace and well-being, especially for the sake of their children.
Teddi Mellencamp and her ex-husband, Edwin Arroyave, had been married for 13 years before they announced their separation in November 2024.
In her public statement about the divorce, Teddi emphasized her focus on her children’s well-being and privacy during this difficult time, and expressed her desire to protect her family from public speculation.
She cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split and initially sought sole custody of their children. However, later court documents indicated that she amended her request to joint custody, with Edwin also seeking joint custody.
Their separation followed a period of tension in the marriage, which included Teddi admitting to having had an affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder, months before the divorce was filed.
Teddi acknowledged her mistake but also pointed out that there were issues on both sides of the relationship. It was revealed that Edwin had been unfaithful in the past, though Teddi had stayed in the marriage for the sake of their children.
Now, as Teddi Mellencamp moves forward in this new chapter of her life, it seems she may be open to exploring new connections. Whether it’s Kevin Costner or someone else, it’s clear she’s ready to embrace the future and move on.
