  • Maria Shriver Joins Family in Celebration of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 68th Birthday

    Maria Shriver Joins Family in Celebration of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 68th Birthday

    Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger may be divorced, but that didn’t keep her from celebrating the former ‘governator’s’ 68th birthday along with him and two of their kids in Beverly Hills on Thursday.

    Schwarzenegger met up with daughters Katherine Schwarzenegger, who is 25, and Christina Schwarzenegger, who is 23, at the Montage hotel, where Maria Shriver joined them for dinner.

    Maria Shriver, as always, looked lovely. She wore a navy blue eyelet dress accessorized with a white bag with a gold chain. She wore a navy clip in her hair. Arnold Schwarzenegger was a bit more casual, wearing a black polo shirt and slacks. He arrived wearing tortoiseshell sunglasses.

    It was back in 2011 that Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted he fathered a child with his family’s housekeeper Mildred Baena. Shortly thereafter he and Maria Shriver split up. He has since developed a relationship with the boy–Joseph Baena. Joseph is the same age as Arnold and Maria’s youngest son Christopher.

    Despite their split, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have worked hard to co-parent their four children. That’s apparently been a bit easier than most might imagine, since she celebrated his birthday this week with the family, too.

    Could you imagine going out to dinner with your ex on his or her birthday? Of course it has been four years since Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger split. Maybe time has softened her heart and allowed for some forgiveness.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger recently enjoyed a return to the big screen in Terminator Genisys. Maria Shriver traveled to Berlin with her kids to attend the film’s premiere in that city.

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger: ‘Terminator Genisys’ Star Talks Split With Maria Shriver

    Arnold Schwarzenegger is busy touting his upcoming film, Terminator Genisys, but during a recent visit to Howard Stern’s radio show the talk turned to Maria Shriver. He and Shriver divorced after 25 years of marriage when she learned he fathered a child with the family’s former housekeeper, Mildred Baena.

    “This was without a doubt the biggest setback and the biggest failure [in my life],” Arnold Schwarzenegger told Howard Stern about the end of their marriage. “Not only failure, but you really feel like, ‘I’m to blame for it. It was me that screwed up,’ and you can’t point the finger at anyone else.”

    The two apparently tried couples therapy, but to no avail. Arnold Schwarzenegger calls couples therapy “the biggest mistake” he’s ever made. Where do you suppose fathering a child with the housekeeper falls on his list of mistakes?

    “Because the guy was so full of sh*t,” Schwarzenegger said of the therapist. “He said more crap and more nonsense. It was absolutely totally counterproductive to our future relationship, or to any hope to get together or anything like that. It was just nonsense talk.”

    “Maria talked me into it, and I knew instinctively maybe I shouldn’t go because I screwed up,” he added. “I don’t have to go through anyone to have him explain to me anything. You know, I apologized to Maria, I apologized to the kids, and I tried to move forward and make the best of it…It has worked out really so well with the help of Maria, with the help of the kids, but not because of the shrink or some psychiatrist.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger insists he still has a great relationship with his four children with Maria– Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher.

    “My kids are a straight 10,” he gushed. “I am so proud of them and I’m so in love with them. I love my kids so much.”

    Interestingly enough, he even referred to Maria Shriver as his wife during the interview while telling a story of Maria and the kids surprising him in Berlin at the premiere of Terminator Genisys.

    Schwarzenegger even talked about his son with the housekeeper–Joseph Baena.

    “He totally understands the situation and all that, so it has all worked out so well,” he shared. “It’s a very tough situation for him, it’s a very tough situation for my kids…but it has happened, and now we have to kind of try and figure it out, right?”

    Arnold Schwarzenegger minced few words during his chat with Howard Stern. Do you think he came across as sorry for his dalliances with the family’s former housekeeper?

    By saying that couples therapy was the “the biggest mistake” he’s ever made, it kind of seems like Arnold doesn’t quite get the damage he’s done.

  • Maria Shriver Removed from Arnold Schwarzenegger Portrait

    Maria Shriver has apparently been removed from a portrait of former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The small image of the former first lady appeared on a lapel pin worn by Schwarzenegger in the portrait, but since the couple have been going through a divorce initially wrought with scandal, it seems the former ‘governator’ has had the image painted over.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger reportedly cheated on Maria Shriver with the family’s long time housekeeper, Mildred Baena. Not only did he cheat on Shriver, he also fathered a child with Baena. In fact, Baena and Maria Shriver were at one point pregnant at the same time–both with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s sons.

    It was just this past week that Arnold Schwarzenegger was the featured star at the unveiling of this portrait in Sacramento. It was then that it became quite apparent to all who knew what the portrait entailed when first worked on, that Maria Shriver was removed from the final work.

    The Washington Post reports that former Schwarzenegger aide Clay Russell confirmed in an e-mail on Friday that the portrait had once included a small image of Shriver on a lapel pin Schwarzenegger wore.

    The artist worked on the portrait sometime during the then-governor’s first term in office and prior to the couple’s separation. When the portrait was unveiled Monday, it no longer had the small image of Shriver, although it was unclear exactly when it had been painted over.

    Maria Shriver is, of course, part of the Kennedy political family. She filed for divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger back in 2011 and returned to her career in broadcast journalism, via which she frequently makes appearances on NBC.

    It’s unlikely that Maria Shriver is either aware of or concerned about having been removed from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s lapel. Even though she handled his cheating scandal graciously, she likely is relieved to be free of his unfaithful ways.

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Love Child Celebrates Bday

    The relationship between Arnold Schwarzenegger and his previous housekeeper, Mildred Baena, was covered extensively by media outlets in the past. Many may have thought that this affair was a thing of the nineties; however, news of their son, Joseph Baena, and interest surrounding his growth is still making headlines today.

    Joseph Baena has recently celebrated his sixteenth birthday. The paparazzi recently snapped Joseph where the following image shows that the adolescent has a strong resemblance to his world-renown actor-turned-governor father. The following image shows that both carry similar bone structures and coloring.

    According to TMZ, Arnold Schwarzenegger bought a home gym for his son. Joseph is a member of his school swim team where having the luxury of a home gym will definitely be a benefit.

    The circumstances surrounding Arnold’s relationship with Mildred Baena led to turmoil for those both directly involved. Mildred spoke with Hello! magazine during the time of the scandal where she explained the strength and genuine concern Maria Shriver showed Mildred even while Arnold and Maria’s marriage was breaking down.

    “I just broke down. I dropped to my knees and I was crying, saying that yes, he was, and I was so sorry. She was so strong. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees. We held each other and I told her it wasn’t Arnold’s fault, that it takes two,” Mildred said about Maria.

    Arnold fully manned up to the encounter. “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,” Arnold said.

    Though the maturing boy has recently come into his own, the uncanny resemblance is hard to deny as even Joseph’s mother and Arnold’s mistress, Mildred Baena, has noted.

    “I knew Arnold was the father, and maybe as Joseph got older and began to look like him, he [Arnold Schwarzenegger] wondered. But he never said anything to me,” Mildred said.
