'I would never have known I wanted kids until meeting my amazing stepdaughter, Isabella. My love for her changed my life and five years later came Slate, then Cruz, and then our miracle baby Dove in 2020.'. Teddi - whose alleged affair ended her 13-year marriage - concluded: 'I may be far from perfect but being a mother has been the greatest gift you could have given me. Thank you always and forever.'.

All four of Mellencamp's children - stepdaughter Bella, 16; daughter Slate, 12; son Cruz, 10; and daughter Dove, 4 - spent Christmas with the 47-year-old Skyline Security CEO. Edwin invited his large group of relatives to compete in the 'First Annual Arroyave Christmas Games' and the champion turned out to be little Slate, who's already a competitive equestrian.
