Who Is Teddi Mellencamp’s Estranged Husband, Edwin Arroyave? Everything About Him And Their Split

January 2026 – Reality TV star Teddi Mellencamp has been facing one challenge after another. While battling Stage 4 cancer, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is also navigating the end of her 13-year marriage. Fans and followers are curious to learn more about her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, and what caused their separation.

Who Is Edwin Arroyave?

Edwin Arroyave is a successful entrepreneur and the founder of Skyline Security Management, a home security company operating across much of the United States. The company provides custom security solutions for homes and businesses.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Edwin has mostly stayed out of the spotlight during Teddi’s time on reality TV. Despite this, he appeared occasionally as a supportive husband and a hands-on father to their three children: Slate, Cruz, and Dove. Edwin also has a teenage daughter, Isabella, from a previous marriage.

Even after their separation, Edwin has remained involved in Teddi’s life, especially during her health battle. On The Eds Podcast, he shared how he helps their children understand Teddi’s diagnosis in an honest but hopeful way.

Edwin Arroyave’s New Relationship

In the latter half of 2025, Edwin made headlines after revealing a new relationship with a woman named Elsa. He shared a formal photo with her on Instagram, dressed in black at an event. Elsa’s profile is private, but her bio mentions she enjoys traveling, making memories, and collecting experiences.

Why Did Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave Split?

Teddi first met Edwin in 2008 at a Los Angeles nightclub. Years later, they tied the knot on July 4, 2011, and built a family together. However, in November 2024, Teddi filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Although neither has publicly detailed the exact reasons, media reports suggested a possible alleged affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder. Teddi never confirmed this but mentioned that “there are multiple sides to every story.”

In 2025, Teddi also revealed that Edwin had been unfaithful earlier, which led to trust issues and emotional pain. Despite these challenges, they paused divorce proceedings when Teddi was diagnosed with stage 4 brain and lung cancer. Both agreed to focus on her treatment and co-parenting their children.

Teddi has stated that marrying Edwin and building their family was one of the best things in her life, while Edwin continues to stand by her during her ongoing health battle. Fans and supporters wish Teddi a speedy recovery.
