AceShowbiz - Former "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Teddi Mellencamp has surprised fans by posting a sentimental tribute to her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, on the 16th anniversary of their meeting.

On Thursday, December 26, Mellencamp took to Instagram to share a series of throwback photos of her and Arroyave, accompanied by a heartfelt caption.

She expressed her gratitude for their first meeting, which led to the birth of their three children: Slate, Cruz, and Dove. Mellencamp also credited Arroyave with changing her life by introducing her to his daughter, Isabella, who inspired her to become a mother herself.

However, Mellencamp's post has garnered mixed reactions. Fans were confused by the timing of the tribute, given that she filed for divorce from Arroyave in November. Mellencamp has been accused of having an affair with her children's horse trainer, Simon Schröeder, prior to the divorce filing.

However, sources claim that both Mellencamp and Arroyave had extramarital affairs during their marriage, including a dalliance that Arroyave allegedly had with a woman named Missy from 2015 to 2016.

Mellencamp has yet to publicly address the negative comments or the rumors surrounding her marriage. In the meantime, the estranged couple continues to navigate the legal complexities of their divorce. Arroyave has requested joint custody of their children, while Mellencamp is seeking primary custody.
