Arnold Schwarzenegger, the renowned actor, recently opened up about a scandalous affair he had in 1996 with his housekeeper, Mildred Baena.
At the time, Schwarzenegger was still married to Maria Shriver, and the revelation of this secret love child left him reeling.
This shocking revelation is set to be featured in the upcoming three-part docuseries, Arnold, where Schwarzenegger will share his life story.
In the tell-all docuseries, Arnold recounts the fateful moment when Maria confronted him about the affair.
It was during a counseling session that Maria demanded answers.
Schwarzenegger admitted that his “heart stopped” as he faced the consequences of his actions.
The truth came out, and he confessed that Joseph, Mildred's son, was indeed his biological child.
Maria was understandably devastated by this revelation.
The affair between Schwarzenegger and Mildred Baena resulted in her pregnancy, and Joseph was born just five days after the birth of Schwarzenegger and Maria's son, Christopher.
For years, no one suspected that Joseph was Arnold's son, or that Christopher had a half-brother.
However, as Joseph grew older, Mildred couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance he shared with Schwarzenegger.
It wasn't until 2010, when Joseph was 13 years old, that he discovered the truth about his father's identity.
The media publicly revealed the connection, leaving Joseph and his family in the spotlight.
Schwarzenegger reflects on this difficult period, acknowledging the pain he caused his loved ones.
He expresses remorse, admitting that the affair with Mildred was his greatest failure.
Schwarzenegger speaks candidly in the docuseries about his evolving realization of Joseph's paternity.
Initially, he was uncertain, but as Joseph grew older, the resemblance became undeniable.
The challenge then became how to keep this secret hidden.
Schwarzenegger acknowledges the profound impact his actions had on his family, causing immense pain for Maria, their children, and Joseph and his mother.
The consequences of the affair were severe, leading Maria to file for divorce in 2011 after 25 years of marriage.
The couple had already been separated for nearly a decade before their divorce was finalized in December 2021.
Schwarzenegger takes responsibility for the pain he caused, acknowledging that he will carry the weight of his actions for the rest of his life.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's revelation of his secret son has shocked the public and shed light on the complexities of his personal life.
The upcoming docuseries promises to delve deeper into his journey, allowing viewers to gain insight into the emotions and consequences surrounding this scandalous affair.
Through his own words, Schwarzenegger aims to provide a candid account of his life, including the triumphs and failures that have shaped him.
