Maria Shriver Files For Divorce From Cheating Arnold – Updated

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

-Updated- Cheating Arnold Schwarzenegger will be a single man since Maria Shriver has filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage.   Arnold had an affair with his housekeeper Mildred Baena and fathered a child the same year as his youngest son, Christopher with Maria Shriver. Sounds a lot like Salma Hayek and Linda Evangelista’s possible affair with Francois – except the news broke when the kids were four. Arnold managed to keep his affair and love child a secret for nearly 14 years!!

Maria separated from Arnold back in May 2011 and then Arnold dropped the bomb when he released this statement,

“After leaving the governor’s office, I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago. 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.”

For sometime Mildred (above) remained quiet with her son Joseph but she broke her silence earlier last month telling Hello magazine,

“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.” (oh the drama in hollyweird!)

After sticking by Arnold for many years despite the incessant rumors of his infidelity, Maria Shriver has finally filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court today (7.1.11) citing “irreconcilable differences.” She’s seeking share joint physical and legal custody of their minor children Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 13.

Maria Shriver is also seeking spousal support from Arnold Schwarzenegger and that he pay her attorney fees. No word on what kind of relationship Maria will have with Arnold and Mildred Baena’s son Joseph. Schwarzenegger’s spokesman Adam Mendelsohn, Maria’s attorney Laura Wasser have all declined to comment thus far. We’re thinking cheating Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t put up much of a fight..but just that’s a thought…

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.
