Teddi Mellencamp Sets Her Sights on Kevin Costner
Teddi Mellencamp is turning heads as she expresses interest in Kevin Costner following her recent divorce from Edwin Arroyave. During a November episode of the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, co-host Tamra Judge playfully suggested that Mellencamp, 43, was available for Costner. “Kevin, if you’re listening, my Instagram handle is @teddimellencamp,” she joked. After Page Six highlighted her remarks, Mellencamp took to social media to react, stating, “Gonna binge Yellowstone just in case K. Costner reads Page Six,” alongside a dazzling selfie.
Costner, who has been navigating the aftermath of his contentious divorce from Christine Baumgartner in 2023, finds himself on the dating radar, especially now as Mellencamp embraces her single status. She announced her split from Arroyave on November 2, after 13 years of marriage, stating, “After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce. My priority is my children and ensuring their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.”
Court documents reveal that Mellencamp and Arroyave separated on October 20, citing “irreconcilable differences.” She initially sought sole physical and legal custody of their three kids—Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4. Interestingly, recent reports have emerged that Mellencamp had an affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder, a few months prior to the separation. Sources indicate that both Mellencamp and Arroyave were unfaithful during their marriage.
Following the announcement, Arroyave responded, listing the separation date as November 1 and requesting joint custody. Despite the tumultuous nature of their relationship, both parents have emphasized their commitment to co-parenting and providing stability for their children.
Mellencamp has been candid about her feelings in the wake of the split, addressing the affair on a podcast episode. “I’m sure everyone has seen everything all over the worldwide web. What I can say is that I have taken accountability and apologized for things I have done wrong. Now, I have given myself permission to grow and thrive.”
In the wake of the divorce news, Arroyave spoke publicly on November 27, sharing, “I’m doing as good as I could be doing, and just getting ready for the holidays, focusing on the things that I can control.” He reiterated the importance of maintaining inner peace during challenging times.
As the headlines continue to swirl around Mellencamp, her flirty remarks regarding Costner might just signify the latest chapter in her evolving personal life. The future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: Mellencamp is ready to embrace new opportunities.
