Arnold Schwarzenegger, the famous Terminator star, has always had a tumultuous love life, filled with multiple relationships and controversies surrounding his treatment of women.
Despite this, he managed to enter American society through his marriage to journalist Maria Shriver.
Even before meeting Shriver, Schwarzenegger had been involved in numerous flings and relationships that often made headlines.
However, Shriver seemed to turn a blind eye to his indiscretions and stood by his side.
One of Schwarzenegger's early relationships was with American teacher Barbara Outland, which ended quickly due to her desire for marriage, something Schwarzenegger was not ready for.
He then met Sue Moray, a hairdresser who was four years younger than him.
They had an open relationship, where they were committed to each other when he was in town, but free to see other people when he was away.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Moray revealed that while they were together, Schwarzenegger was also dating Shriver.
When Moray confronted him about it, he dismissed it, claiming Shriver was just a friend, but she didn't believe him.
Despite Schwarzenegger's infidelity and lack of respect for women, Shriver stayed with him and they got married in April 1986.
However, that did not stop him from continuing to have affairs with co-stars and other celebrities.
Shriver remained unfazed by Schwarzenegger's public affairs and chose to ignore the red flags.
This may be attributed to her upbringing in the Kennedy family, where extramarital affairs were not uncommon.
The Kennedys have a history of turning a blind eye to such issues, and Shriver's response was no different.
However, in 2011, she finally filed for divorce from Schwarzenegger, and their divorce was finalized in 2021.
Netflix is set to release a three-part documentary series on June 7 titled “Arnold,” which will delve into Schwarzenegger's life and career.
Despite the revelations about Schwarzenegger's affairs, Shriver remained detached from the issues for the sake of their four children.
Her love for him may have influenced her decision to stay with him despite his actions.
Ultimately, though, she made the difficult choice to end their marriage.
The story of Arnold Schwarzenegger's affair with a hairdresser has shocked many, including Shriver herself.
The documentary series will shed more light on Schwarzenegger's life and the choices he made.
