Teddi Mellencamp’s recent cancer diagnosis has taken center stage in recent weeks, but questions still loom about the status of her relationship with Edwin Arroyave, her husband of 13 years. Teddi announced her divorce from Edwin in November 2024. Around the same time, rumors began to swirl about an alleged affair she had with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder. It is important to note that rumors of infidelity on Edwin’s part have also been a point of contention in Teddi & Edwin’s marriage, reportedly dating back to several years ago. Teddi has been open about the fact that her marriage has been far from perfect over the last 13 years. It seems as though, based on Teddi’s accounts of what happened, the alleged infidelity with her horse trainer was a culmination of many years of issues between the two.

Needless to say, it has been a rough few months for Mellencamp as she faces marital and health battles simultaneously. In light of the tumultuous nature of her relationship with Edwin, has he been there for her during this time?

According to a recent post on Instagram, Edwin has in-fact been a strong support system to Teddi during this time. Seen riding in the car together, Teddi gave a major shoutout to Edwin, describing herself as “incredibly grateful” to him, spotlighting him as a source of “confidence” during this terrible time.

Pictured above, posted to Teddi’s Instagram story, Edwin is seen driving Teddi to her destination since she is not yet cleared to drive a car following her surgery. Teddi revealed: “There are not many ex-husbands, or future ex-husbands, who are going to nurse you back to life, take you to workouts, give you confidence, and make sure you’re safe.”

Teddi is undergoing intense immunotherapy, documenting extreme nausea and pain as a result. The immunotherapy is being used to treat metastases of her melanoma, which have spread to her lungs and brain. Teddi has been keeping her followers up to date, even asking them to weigh in on whether or not she rocks a wig.

It is encouraging to hear that during this devastating time, Teddi has Edwin by her side. Teddi offered promising updates, including the fact that she recently took part in a workout class and horseback riding.
