When ‘Terminator’ star Arnold Schwarzenegger’s infidelity came to light, his illegitimate child was already a teenager. This not only caused a kink in the actor’s career, but also caused his marriage to hit the rocks. The 75-year-old reports this in the Netflix documentary ‘Arnold’, which will premiere on the streaming platform on June 7.
In this film, which sheds light on the life of the actor and politician, the affair with his former housekeeper is also discussed. Schwarzenegger cheated on his then-wife Maria Shriver with her in 1996. In the documentary’s trailer that came out in mid-May, Arnie said, “I’ve hurt my family enough. I’ll have to live with that for the rest of my life.” The American magazine People now reports that he is actually referring to his affair with this sentence.
“Then I Told Her the Truth”
Accordingly, in the Netflix production, Schwarzenegger recalls the moment when everything changed when Shriver confronted him: “Maria and I went to marriage counseling once a week. In one session, the marriage counselor said, “I think Mary wants to discuss something today. She wants to know if you’re Joseph’s father.’ I thought my heart would stop and then I told her the truth.”
He confessed without hesitation: “It broke her. I had an affair in 1996.” At first, however, he wasn’t sure if housekeeper Mildred Baena’s child was his. “But the older he got, the clearer it became for me. From then on, the only question was how to hide it. How could they keep the secret?” He states, however, that he loves his illegitimate son.
The “Terminator” star and Shriver married in 1986 and their love had four children: 33-year-old Katherine, Christina, who was two years younger, Patrick, who was also two years younger, and Christopher, who is now 25. In May 2011, the two announced their separation. Just a few days later, he admitted his infidelity in an interview.
