Mildred Baena Breaks Her Silence On Arnold Schwarzenegger Affair

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (2)

Mildred Baena has finally broken her silence on her shocking affair with former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The story of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s affair that resulted in a love child, Joseph, sent shock waves through the industry. It was later reported that Arnold’s son with Mildred was born a week apart from Maria Shriver’s last son with Arnold.

Mildred tells HELLO magazine how she revealed the news to Maria Shriver and cleared up when Arnold found out about his son.

“Last summer, I brought Joseph over to the house. After that, people in the house started whispering about how much they looked like each other.”

She added,

“Maria would ask if I needed to talk to her, and I kept saying no,” she reveals. “Finally, she asked point blank. Maria asked me directly if Joseph was Arnold’s son, and I just broke down. I dropped to my knees and I was crying, saying that yes he was and I was so sorry. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees.”

“Since I was retiring soon, I said I would pack up and leave right away, but she said to stay until after the holidays,” Baena adds.

“He’s a good man and I know he’s suffering too. He loves Maria. I hope with time they work things out,” she says. Mildred also added that she and Schwarzenegger had a short affair and he only found out recently about Joseph.

Maria Shriver seemed very polite in her response to Mildred’s revelation. Could you imagine yourself responding to Mildred Baena revelation about her affair with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Maria Shriver did?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
