Simon Schröeder is known for his skills in the equestrian world, but his affair with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp landed him in the headlines. In Touch rounded up everything to know about Simon from his growing family to career success.
Where Is Simon Schroeder From?
Simon was born and raised in Germany and relocated to the United States as a young adult, according to The Chronicle of the Horse.
Is Simon Schroeder Married?
Simon married wife Karli Schröeder Postel in 2019. The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Lena, in 2021. Three years later, Karli gave birth to their second kid.
What Is Simon Schroeder’s Job?
Simon holds a handful of titles within the horse world, some being a horse trainer, a full service hunter and jumper. More notably, Simon and his wife Karli founded and run Schroeder Sporthorses, a training, sales and investments show barn located in Moorpark, Los Angeles.
“When we had the idea, it was that we wanted to build a family and build a life and have a lot more control,” Karli told The Chronicle of the Horse of their business. “It all started around the idea of wanting to do it differently—like build successful horses, but maybe not be at a horse show every single week.”
Meanwhile, Simon described their dynamic as two opposites making the perfect team.
“Every time she says what I should do, I do [it],” he told the outlet. “She’s the head of the whole operation.”
One of Schroeder Sporthorses’ biggest clients is Teddi and her horse Toad. After years of training, Simon rode Toad at the International Hunter Derby Finals in August 2024.
“You ‘Totally’ didn’t disappoint in the International Hunter Derby Finals my dream horse . Loved the way you went, the judges commentary and seeing you shine,” Teddi captioned the Instagram post alongside a video of Simon and Toad in the competition. “Thank you so much @simonschroeder85 for the stunning rides and all of your belief in Toad. Thank you @schroedersporthorses @windsong2121 for always being team Toad. Kelley, I’m forever grateful to you for selling me the most fun horse I have ever ridden.”
Did Simon Schroeder and Teddi Mellencamp Have an Affair?
On November 13, 2024, In Touch confirmed that Teddi and Simon were having an affair despite both being married. Teddi announced her split from estranged husband Edwin Arroyave days before the cheating scandal broke. Daily Mail was the first to report the news.
“Teddi is Simon’s biggest client. Teddi and his wife, Karli Postel Schröeder, were good friends for seven [to] eight years,” an insider exclusively told In Touch at the time. “Karli confronted Teddi about the affair when she found inappropriate text messages on Simon’s phone [and] Teddi promised it would not happen again.”
The “Two Ts In a Pod” podcast cohost and Simon’s affair continued, and once Karli “re-discovered the affair was still happening,” she “decided to separate her business” from Simon.
Neither Teddi nor Simon have publicly addressed the affair reports.
