To this day, Arnold Schwarzenegger admits to the pain he has caused to former wife Maria Shriver. The actor has had his whole life in the public eye for years, both his personal and professional growth. While he remains an inspiration to the world for many things, he comes with his own flaws. One of the biggest ones, admittedly, was cheating on his former wife Maria Shriver.

The Austrian Oak married Shriver, a Kennedy family member, back in 1986. The two expanded to a family of five before the news of his unfaithfulness reached her and the mass public. They eventually divorced, but even today the actor tells the tales of his days back then and the effect it had on his former wife.

Arnold Schwarzenegger recalls the effect of his love child on Maria Shriver

Arnold Schwarzenegger has brought more than Fubar on Netflix; he has also brought his personal life. One of the multiple shows he has with the OTT platform is the Arnold docuseries. The series has him talking about his life, motivation, and learnings. According to People, the actor still remembers the time he admitted to Shriver about his son born out of an affair with their maid Mildred Baena.

The duo was going through issues that landed them in couple’s therapy, and that is when the question came up. She wanted to know if the child (Joseph Baena) was really his. “I thought my heart stopped, and then I told the truth,” he shared. He admitted that Baena was his indeed, and considering the fame that he has and had, keeping it a secret was no longer an option.

They tried making things work before finalizing their divorce. However, even today, they share a cordial relationship and co-parent their four adult children.

How do his two realities exist today?

It was after the end of his term as the Governor of California that the actor broke news of his affair and the son out of wedlock. Joseph Baena kept his mother’s name in her respect and was welcomed by Schwarzenegger. Just like Patrick Schwarzenegger, he also strives to follow in his father’s footsteps and make it big in Hollywood.

The entertainer, while apologetic, moved on to dating his physical therapist, Heather Milligan. He admits how people will have to accept both his flaws and strengths. More of his revelations will come with the release of Arnold on Netflix on June 7.
