Well the truth is coming out a little bit more as to why Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver split up… And it’s not good at all.
Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted that he had fathered a child with a woman who had worked in his family’s home ten years ago. This means that while Arnold was sleeping with his staff his wife and four children where known and just pushed the thought aside.
Wait, there’s still more.
The child, who remains unknown along with his mother, was thought the be the son of the woman’s husband. The woman wanted to work for twenty years and then retire with full benefits from the home in California. And she has apparently done so…
Schwarzenegger and Shriver were married for 25 years and have four children together. This is just heartbreaking to me.
There have been two statements released, of course, one by Arnold Schwarzenegger and one by Maria Shriver, here they are:
“After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago,” Schwarzenegger said in replying to the Times. This was followed by another statement: “I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses, and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.”
Maria Shriver’s statement was geared toward her family being okay: “This is a painful and heartbreaking time,” she said. “As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment.”
Seriously. What in the world was Arnold Schwarzenegger thinking!? He is a celebrity, was the govenor of California, and had a good family. I know that there were probably other things going on, but to cheat and have a child with a woman other than your wife!? That’s not cool.
And to think in Kindergarten Cop he asked “Who is your father and what does he do?” Let’s have all of your kids answer this question now.
