Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Admission: Housekeeper Affair a Regrettable Mistake

In a candid interview with People magazine, Arnold Schwarzenegger has come forward to address the affair he had with his housekeeper and the subsequent consequences that led to the end of his marriage.

The former bodybuilder, action hero, and governor expressed regret over his relationship with Mildred Baena, referring to it as his own personal failure, which ultimately resulted in the demise of his marriage with Maria Shriver in 2011.

Schwarzenegger emphasized that there was no feud or fight involved in the dissolution of their marriage.

However, the revelation came to light when it was discovered that his son with Baena, Joseph, was born just five days after the birth of his son with Shriver, Christopher.

Despite his mistake, Schwarzenegger still maintains love for his former wife, stating that their connection will endure indefinitely, albeit in a different capacity.

The couple shares four children together, daughters Katherine (33) and Christina (32), as well as sons Patrick (30) and Christopher (26).

Schwarzenegger emphasized that they have always prioritized shielding their children from the fallout of the affair.

They continue to communicate effectively, coordinating events such as holidays, birthdays, Mother's Day, and Christmas celebrations.

It is worth noting that Schwarzenegger has been in a relationship with physical therapist Heather Milligan since 2013.

However, sources have revealed that Joseph, Schwarzenegger's love child, has faced challenges in being accepted by his half-siblings.

While Arnold treats Joseph fairly, the other children seem to harbor resentment towards him due to the circumstances surrounding his birth.

This unfortunate situation has created tension within the family dynamic.

The Netflix documentary “Arnold” shed further light on the affair, revealing that Shriver discovered Schwarzenegger's infidelity during a marriage counseling session in 2011.

Schwarzenegger vividly recalls the moment when his indiscretions were brought to the forefront.

The counselor directly questioned whether he was the father of Joseph, who bore a striking resemblance to Schwarzenegger at the time.

It was a heart-stopping moment for him as he faced the truth.

The fallout from this revelation ultimately led to the end of their marriage.

However, Page Six reports that the divorce proceedings were not finalized until 2021 due to complications arising from the lack of a prenuptial agreement, resulting in a complex division of assets.

Despite the challenges and mistakes that have unfolded, Schwarzenegger remains remorseful and acknowledges the impact his actions have had on his family.
