Teddi Mellencamp reunites with ex Edwin for daughter's graduation... after the RHOBH vet cuddled new beau
Teddi Mellencamp was seen with her ex Edwin Arroyave during their daughter's graduation from 'lower school' in Los Angeles on Friday.
The 43-year-old reality TV star looked cheerful in an off-white outfit with her blonde hair down as she smiled for Instagram photos.
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hill veteran wore a jacket over a tank top and slacks that all matched as the former model added beige slides with a Fendi belt purse. She added two necklace and an anklet.
Edwin looked sporty in a dark gray blazer over a white collared shirt with dark jeans and his prescription glasses on.
Slate, 12, had on a pretty pale purple gown with her hair down.
'Just like that our baby girl is graduating lower school. Off to middle school next year. Proud of you @slate_mellencamp_eq,' wrote the star in her caption as she shared images from the event.
Mellencamp divorced Arroyave, her husband of 13 years, in November.
Mellencamp - who is the daughter of rocker John Mellencamp and actress Victoria Granucci - and Arroyave share Slate, Cruz, 10 and Dove, five.

This comes after she was seen with her new boyfriend months after announcing her divorce from Edwin.
The star appeared totally smitten with her new lover in Encino, a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, on Sunday.
The couple could barely keep their hands to themselves as they enjoyed a jog together amid her ongoing cancer battle.
In photos exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail, Mellencamp's new beau wrapped his arms around her from behind, before pulling her close and planting a kiss on her cheek.
In another heartfelt moment, he sweetly adjusted her hat, worn to protect her bald scalp.
Mom-of-three Mellencamp - dressed casual in a khaki waterproof and navy-blue jogging bottoms - now has stage 4 melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer.
In February, she announced that, after weeks of 'severe and debilitating headaches', doctors discovered the cancer has spread to her brain and lungs.
Despite the serious diagnosis, Mellencamp is bravely pressing on, telling fans in April: 'I'm just thinking about all the goals that I have for the future for myself and for my kids.'
And she certainly seemed in good spirits on Sunday, with her new man also opting for comfortable workout gear, donning a white T-shirt and black sweatpants. His short-sleeved top revealed his heavily tattooed arms.
While his identity is not yet known, a source confirmed that Mellencamp 'is dating him' and is very 'happy.'
In March, Mellencamp said that she was throwing herself back into the dating scene following her divorce.
Speaking in a podcast interview, she said: '[I've] already been on more dates with new people.
'Well, I'm on a second date. So, I went on a first date, pre-the thing, and then I went on a second date yesterday actually. He's really cute and nice.'
Shortly after the divorce, a source claimed to the Daily Mail that infidelity with her horse trainer Simon Schoreder had been the catalyst for her shock split.
Nearly two months after the news of Mellencamp and Arroyave's separation and the affair scandal came to light, horse trainer Schoreder's wife Karli Postel also filed for divorce.
Postel had been pregnant at the time of the alleged affair.
In her divorce papers, she cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, with their date of separation listed as September 22, 2024.
Mellencamp finally broke her silence on the end of her marriage in February.
'Me and Edwin had some of the most amazing years and the most amazing times, and when we met it was hot and it was all the things, and then there would be somebody else,' she confessed.
'And I'd be like, "It's OK, I'm gonna work through it, I'm gonna make him love me more!" Then you have kids and things happen,' she continued.
'Probably at the point in time when Edwin was ready to start working on it and really change, I probably stopped.'
Mellencamp was first diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma in 2022, but her condition took a terrifying turn earlier this year when it progressed to Stage 4.
However, in a recent video on social media, Mellencamp revealed her tumors have significantly shrunk, and that doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free.
'I just finished with all of my scans, and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work, and that I will be back to myself, and feeling good,' she told her fans on Instagram.
She was initially told by doctors she had a fifty–fifty chance of survival.

Dominic Sessa transforms into tragic young Anthony Bourdain in biopic
Dominic Sessa has transformed into Anthony Bourdain while filming scenes for the upcoming biopic Tony earlier this week in Massachusetts. The actor, 22, could be seen stepping into the shoes of a younger version of the late celebrity chef while on the set of the A24 project in Provincetown on Thursday. Bourdain was known for starring in shows including the Travel Channel's No Reservations and CNN 's Parts Unknown before his tragic death by suicide in 2018 at the age of 61. Dominic wore a pair of black flared pants and a red button-up, which was layered with a black leather jacket, befitting of Seventies style. The actor also sported brown curly hair as he shot scenes on a ferry. Dominic was seen holding a conversation with another person while leaning against a railing as the ferry slowly moved along the water. While the official synopsis has remained under wraps, the biopic is set to follow Bourdain's summer in 1976 in Provincetown, where he had his first introduction to the restaurant industry. In April, it was revealed that Antonio Banderas has also joined the cast, although his role is not yet known. The movie will be directed by Matt Johnson, with a screenplay by Todd Bartels and Lou Howe. Bourdain began his career in the food industry while studying at Vassar College and took on jobs at seafood restaurants in Provincetown. In an interview with Boston Magazine in 2017, the TV personality reflected on his time in the seaside town. He said: 'It's a very emotional place for me. I came of age there in the early Seventies in a very magical, golden, naive time that I don't think we'll see the likes of again.' 'And I will say being in Provincetown when I was 17… it was predominantly gay, as it still is. It was a time in history of boundless optimism when we really thought anything was possible. 'I think of the people I lived with and worked with and who befriended me then… whatever value system I learned then informed what came later.' Bourdain further reflected: 'That's where it all started for me. Those were the kitchens that formed my expectations. I thought it was going to be like that forever.' And while talking to The Guardian that same year, the author talked about his first job as a dishwasher in the Massachusetts town. He said: 'I only became happy - in fact, intensely satisfied - as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Provincetown in Cape Cod, my first job.' The late star added that he had been 'a shy, goofy, awkward teenager. But in this blue collar, factory-like environment, there was no blurred line, no grey area, no philosophical question to fret over. He said: 'Dishes had to go in the washer and come out taintless and doing this swiftly and competently meant I was acknowledged as a human being by colleagues I wanted to be like. The day they promoted me to dunking fries I was overjoyed.' Anthony had also been candid about his past drug use during his youth, and he later quit heroin in the Eighties. He had told The Guardian: 'I was an unhappy soul, with a huge heroin and then crack problem. 'I hurt, disappointed and offended many, many, many people and I regret a lot. It's a shame I have to live with.' He later dropped out of university and graduated for the Culinary Institute Of America in 1978. The star notably worked as a chef in restaurants in New York City throughout the Eighties and Nineties. He had also been the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles, beginning in 1998. Anthony penned a number of books during his career, including as Kitchen Confidential: Adventures In The Culinary Underbelly (2000), which became a New York Times bestseller. The chef had also written articles for publications such as The New Yorker - which published a popular excerpt of Kitchen Confidential before its publication - The Los Angeles Times, Esquire, and The Independent. He gained wider recognition due to his television appearances after hosting shows including Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (2005–2012) on the Travel Channel. The digital series Explore Parts Unknown (2017) garnered the star an Emmy win for Outstanding Short Form Nonfiction Or Reality Series. Bourdain tragically died by suicide in France at the age of 61 while filming Parts Unknown.
