She initially requested sole physical and legal custody the couple’s three children — Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4 — but changed her petition later that month. Mellencamp is now asking the court for joint physical and legal custody.

Arroyave, who is also the father of daughter Isabella from a previous relationship, requested joint legal and physical custody of his and Mellencamp’s children when he filed his own in November 2024.

Although a source exclusively said so My Weekly at a time when the exes “wanted to keep it kid-friendly,” their split was messy.

Mellencamp raised eyebrows shortly after filing for divorce when it emerged she was having an affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroederbefore breaking up.

“Simon and Teddi had a thing a few months ago but it’s still not happening,” an insider exclusively said Our in November 2024 and claims that Mellencamp and Arroyave they were both unfaithful during their marriage.

The source claimed it was the “first and only time” Mellencamp “went outside of the marriage.”

A second insider claimed Arroyave “insists he hasn’t had an affair since,” cheated on Mellencamp eight years ago, and claimed he “focused on family and faith” after his infidelity.

Mellencamp, meanwhile, publicly addressed her divorce and hinted at rumors of her affair during a podcast episode that same month. “I’m not going to confirm or deny anything,” she said at the time.

Last month, Mellencamp gave a little more insight into her current living situation, revealing on an episode of the “Diamonds in the Rough” podcast that she is live part time with Kyle Richards.

“Some places where you can just file for divorce … in California there’s a six-month cooling-off period,” she told listeners during the December 2024 episode. “You can do a lot of things in those six months. The way I learned about nesting was through one of my good friends, she’s a divorce coach. She told me about nesting. It is where the children stay (in the matrimonial home) and the parents come and go.”

Mellencamp said she and Arroyave agreed on that so they could “be there for sporting events” and other milestones. “We are absolutely happy to be together” she claimed.

When Mellencamp started “nesting” at Arroyave, Our confirmed that her horse trainer’s wife, Karla Schroeder, filed for divorce on December 30, 2024. She listed the date of their separation as September 22, 2024.

Simon and Karli share a daughter Lena (3) and a son Henry (7 months). Karli is seeking primary physical custody of both children and joint legal custody, according to court documents obtained Our. She is also asking for spousal support and for Simon to pay her attorney fees.
