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.

'It was like a collaboration with the writers, because they were so great and nice and good. 'But me being Phoebe was so far from who I was as a human being that it was work. 'I needed to justify everything she was saying in my head so that it felt like she meant it and it was real to her. It was a lot of work. Advertisement 'And I remember like season two or three, and I was just doing it, and went, 'Oh my god, I'm not doing the work. I don't know if this is going as well. I'm not doing the work'. 'I was really fretting over it. And (Matt) LeBlanc went, 'What's the matter with you?'. I said, 'I'm not doing the work that I did. I used to like really work, and he said, 'You're her. You don't have to do it anymore'.'

EXCLUSIVE Jessica Alba looks MISERABLE reuniting with estranged husband Cash Warren at daughter's graduation
Jessica Alba tried to put her best face forward as she attended her daughter's eighth grade graduation on Friday. The actress, 44, who celebrated her single status in a bikini, seemed somewhat distraught as she spoke with a friend at the ceremony in Los Angeles. The Trigger Warning star looked casually chic in a cream toned jacket and crop top over a pair of straight leg jeans. Her long, dark blonde hair was styled straight and she wore natural-looking makeup. The L.A.'s Finest star accessorized with large hoop earrings and three stacked necklaces. The event was to celebrate Alba's daughter Haven, 13, and her classmates successfully completing middle school. The Fantastic Four actress was joined by her estranged husband Cash Warren, 46, who looked relaxed in a pair of tan chinos and a blue and white golf shirt and sneakers. Her older daughter, Honor, 16, looked sweet in a long red and white dress. The teen's long, dark locks were styled into long braids which cascaded down her back. Alba was seen arriving with son Hayes, seven, who looked adorable in a navy blue sweater over a white collared shirt, jeans, sneakers and a white billed cap. Alba and Warren announced their separation on January 16, and Alba formally filed for divorce in February, citing irreconcilable differences. 'I've been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years – both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,' the El Camino Christmas star explained as she announced the split on social media. 'I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.' A source who spoke to Life & Style said the former couple, who tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony in 2008, are trying to keep their kids lives as normal as possible amid the big life change. The insider indicated they may follow the lead of former spouses Demi Moore and Bruce Willis and former partners Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk by taking family vacations together. Alba and Warren have listed their Beverly Hills home for $19 million and Warren reportedly has been checking out high-end real estate for his new digs. 'As much as Jessica is embracing change for herself, she's still very concerned about maintaining as much of the status quo for her kids as she can. Doing holidays with Cash feels like an important tradition to try to maintain,' they explained. 'Hayes is only 7, he wants both his parents there when he does his Easter egg hunt. Honor and Haven are teenagers but it's still important for Jess that they feel they have some semblance of a family.' The Meet the Keswanis producer was spotted leaving an open house at a six-bedroom dwelling in the Sherman Oaks area recently. The property is listed as costing $6.5 million. Alba has not been sitting on her laurels since her exit from the Honest Company in 2024. She founded her own production company, Lady Spitfire the same year. 'I'm thrilled that in this stage of my life and career, I get to create and build, and Lady Spitfire is part of this next chapter,' Alba told Deadline. 'Reimagining and redefining how women and minorities show up in the world through great stories is my passion,' she said. 'I believe that my children and the next generation shouldn't have to face the same barriers as I have. Inspired by the heroes whose shoulders I humbly stand on, I feel it is my duty to make it easier for dreams to be realized and potential to be met for women and minorities, particularly those in my community.' Alba has several upcoming projects, including the series Confessions on the 7:45, with Eva Longoria directing.

BREAKING NEWS Atlantic Starr singer Wayne Lewis dies at 68 as tributes pour in for R&B legend
Wayne Lewis of the legendary R&B band Atlantic Starr has died. The singer, songwriter, and co-founding member of the group was 68. The band announced his passing in a heartfelt Facebook post on June 6, writing: 'It's with great sadness we have to post the passing of Wayne Lewis on June 5, 2025. 'Please keep the family in your prayers and respect their privacy. #waynelewis #restinpeace #flyhigh Sunrise 4/13/1957 Sunset 6/5/2025 #restinpeaceWayne.' A cause of death has not yet been revealed. Lewis was a driving force behind Atlantic Starr, a New York-based group formed in the mid-1970s with his brothers David and Jonathan Lewis. The band rose to fame in the '80s with their signature blend of smooth soul, R&B, and pop — becoming staples on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts. Wayne Lewis served as both lead vocalist and keyboardist, contributing to some of the band's biggest hits, including Always, Secret Lovers, Circles, Silver Shadow, and Masterpiece. Their 1987 ballad Always hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a wedding anthem for a generation. Tributes have poured in across social media. 'A great songwriter. Atlantic Star was better once he became leader. He will be missed,' one fan wrote. Another praised him as 'a great songwriter' and 'an icon of soulful love songs.' Yet another added, 'Omg I'm devastated. I was looking forward to seeing them perform this Sunday at Capital Jazz Festival. My condolences.' Wayne co-founded Atlantic Starr in 1976 in White Plains, New York, alongside his brothers David and Jonathan Lewis, originally forming the band under the name Newban before changing it ahead of their first major label signing.
