Teddi Mellencamp had an alleged affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder, months before separating from husband Edwin Arroyave — and now Simon’s wife, Karli Shroeder, is filing for divorce, Us Weekly can confirm.

Karli filed divorce paperwork in Los Angeles County on Monday, December 30, citing irreconcilable differences. In court documents obtained by Us, Karli listed the pair’s date of marriage as April 14, 2024, and date of separation as September 22, 2024.

Although Karli and Simon’s latest marriage lasted only five months, Us confirmed that the pair previously had another marriage annulled in Ventura County. The annulment was finalized in February, and Karli and Simon tied the knot again less than two months later.

The former couple share daughter Lena, 3, and son Henry, 7 months. Karli is seeking primary physical custody of the two children and joint legal custody with Simon. She is also seeking spousal support from Simon and requesting that he pay her attorney fees. Us has reached out to Simon for comment.

Us reported on Simon’s alleged affair with Mellencamp, 43, in November, shortly after Mellencamp announced her decision to file for divorce.

“Simon and Teddi had a thing several months ago, but it’s not still happening,” a source exclusively told Us at the time, noting that Mellencamp and Arroyave, 47, were both unfaithful to each other during their marriage. “Teddi and Edwin had been working on the problems of their marriage, despite his past indiscretions. They stayed in the marriage for the sake of the kids.”

A second insider claimed that Arroyave spoke with Karli, who “confirmed the affair.” The source noted that Arroyave was “unfaithful” to Mellencamp eight years ago but “insists he has not had an affair since.”

The first source, meanwhile, said Mellencamp and Arroyave “are both to blame” for the problems in their marriage.

“Teddi isn’t excusing her behavior, but this was the first and only time she strayed outside of the marriage and says there’s two sides to the story,” the insider shared.

Mellencamp seemingly addressed her infidelity via Instagram last month.

“The only person who can change your life is you. We have 2 options, pretend to be a victim or stand up and fight for yourself. We all deserve peace and happiness,” she wrote at the time. “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. There are 3 sides to every story. How can I stand up and show up for the people that do matter? This is called being an adult. This is what saying with my full chest means.”

Mellencamp and Arroyave tied the knot in 2011 and share three children: daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 4, and son Cruz, 10. Mellencamp is also stepmother to Isabella, 15, Arroyave’s daughter from a previous marriage.
