Teddi Mellencamp and her ex-husband, Edwin Arroyave, came together to celebrate a special milestone for their daughter, Slate, who graduated from fifth grade. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared glimpses of the heartwarming occasion on Instagram, posting photos of herself, Arroyave, and their 11-year-old daughter at the graduation ceremony. The trio appeared all smiles, showcasing their commitment to co-parenting despite their 2024 divorce.
Mellencamp, 43, captioned the post, “Nothing better than watching our little Slate shine at her 5th grade graduation! So proud of you, Slate. Here’s to new beginnings and crushing middle school!” The event marked a moment of unity for the former couple, who share three children: Slate, Cruz (10), and Dove (4). Arroyave also has a daughter, Isabella (16), from a previous relationship.
The reunion comes on the heels of Mellencamp’s recent announcement of her new relationship with boyfriend Todd Konizeski. Just days before the graduation, she went Instagram-official with Konizeski, sharing a cozy photo of the pair at a concert. “Feeling on top of the world with you,” she wrote, hinting at her excitement for this new chapter. Sources close to Mellencamp revealed that she and Konizeski, a businessman, have been dating for several months and are “very happy together.”
Despite the end of their 13-year marriage, Mellencamp and Arroyave have maintained a cordial relationship, prioritizing their children. The couple announced their separation in November 2024, with Mellencamp stating, “After much reflection, Edwin and I have decided to part ways, but our kids remain our greatest priority.” Their appearance together at Slate’s graduation underscores their dedication to keeping things amicable.
Mellencamp, known for her openness about her personal life, has been focusing on her fitness brand, All In by Teddi, and her podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, while navigating her post-divorce life. Fans praised the reality star for her positive co-parenting dynamic, with one commenting, “Love seeing you and Edwin come together for Slate. This is what it’s all about!”
As Mellencamp embraces her new romance and continues to co-parent with Arroyave, she’s proving that life’s transitions can be handled with grace and optimism.
