Teddi Mellencamp says she is ‘grateful’ to be with family on Thanksgiving amid affair scandal and divorce

Teddi Mellencamp was counting her blessings on Thanksgiving day amid her divorce from Edwin Arroyave and the scandal surrounding her alleged affair with her horse trainer.

The reality star, 43, shared a pH๏τo of a family portrait from her childhood that included her dad, singer John Mellencamp, 73, her mother, Vicky Granucci and her siblings Michelle, 53, from the rocker’s first marriage, Justice, 39.

Teddi stood by her dad in the portrait, wearing equestrian clothing.

‘Thankful this painting is still up on my room at home,’ the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star wrote.

‘Grateful to be here with family. Happy Thanksgiving.’

‘Home’ in this instance seemed to refer to the Grammy winner’s home in Seymour, Indiana where many members of the Mellencamp family had gathered for the holiday.

The closing line from Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s famous sonnet 43 from her book Sonnets from the Portuguese, ‘If God choose, I shall love thee better after death’ engraved in the stone. 

Young Dove and her sister Slate, 11, enjoyed a makeover thanks to their ‘aunt Bird’ aka Justice Mellencamp, 39, who is a professional hairdresser. 

Cruz, 10, apparently wanted a buzz cut like his uncle Hud Mellencamp, 30, who graciously used his clippers to give the boy a matching look to his. 

Cruz celebrated his new look by taking a dip in the H๏τ tub. 

Teddi looked relaxed in a selfie she posted wearing a blue-gray ʙuттon down shirt with white trim and tan trousers with a gap at the knee.

‘Justice Mellencamp, will you slick your hair back today who we look like twinsies?’ she asked in the Instagram Stories post. 

In spite of the turmoil going on in her life, Teddi shared she still has a sense of humor.

'Thankful this painting is still up on my room at home,' the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star wrote. 'Grateful to be here with family. Happy Thanksgiving' she wrote next to the portrait displayed at her father John Mellencamp's house

Sharing another video, she lay in bed as she panned around the room, showing her sleeping children cuddled up close to her. 

‘This is a story about a mom who had to pee for over an hour, but is 2 scared if she moves she will wake her kids up,’ she wrote. 

It was unclear if her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, 47, would be taking part in the family celebrations this years.

On the Wednesday edition of his podcast, The Eds, with co-host Eddie Judge, the entrepreneur hinted he might be there, in keeping with family tradition. 

‘I think last year we celebrated Christmas at our house and then this year Thanksgiving will be at John’s house,’ he said.

Arroyave said he ‘is doing good,’  had turned to his faith to help him navigate the split after 13 years of marriage.

‘I’ve always been big on just focusing on what you can control and all that other stuff you can’t control, you just leave that up to God and that’s what gives you peace,’ he explained. 

Earlier this month DailyMail.com broke the news that Teddi’s alleged affair with her horse trainer was the catalyst behind her divorce from Edwin.

A source alleged to DailyMail.com that Mellencamp was having an affair with Schröeder while his partner, Karli Postel, was pregnant with their second child.

To make matters worse, Mellencamp and her horse trainer were rumored to be together while Postel was giving birth in Florida.
