Maria Shriver Not Reconciling With Arnold Despite Recent Rumors

Maria Shriver was spotted wearing, what some considered a “reconciliation” ring on her ring finger while she was out running with her pooch.

The intranet was all a buzzed with speculations and surveys of whether Maria should reconcile with her unfaithful, estranged husband Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Maria filed for divorce after learning her husband of 25 years fathered a child with the couple’s housekeeper.

TMZ broke the story about a possible Arnold and Maria reunion after the 64 year old California Governor was seen wearing his wedding ring days earlier.

But PEOPLE revealed to the contrary that Maria’s ring isn’t that ring. The ring in question actually belonged to Maria’s late Mother, Eunice Shriver. It is widely known how the two shared a great bond.

“The bling seen on Shriver’s left hand is actually her late mother’s engagement ring. Shriver, who was extremely close her mom, has been wearing the ring since Eunice Shriver’s death in August 2009.”

Though Arnold and Maria seem to be continuing with the pending divorce, the two will continue to have a good relationship for the sake of their four children.

“Arnold and Maria will always come together when it comes to supporting and loving their children,” says a family insider.

For now, Maria can enjoy her post-divorce mansion and the relationships she have with family, friends, and even Arnold—without the possibility of reconciliation.

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.
