We all remember the shock (or maybe not considering Arnold has always been a “ladies man”) that the world felt when Maria Shriver stated that she was leaving her long-term hubby and ex-governor of California. As the details of the split and the reason for it began to emerge, many in the political circles and those who know the “terminator” shook their heads realizing that it all made sense.
Shriver (member of the Camelot clan, the Kennedy’s) found out that Arnold’s wandering ways had not only produced a child, but that child was with their long time housekeeper, Mildred Baena. The child is a boy and would be very hard for Arnold to deny considering he looks just like his famous dad.
Maria began tweeting and facebooking strange messages about how she was unsure of her path or her future long before the news of the split broke leading to speculation that something was occurring with the power couple’s marriage.
As soon as the news broke, Maria promptly packed her and her children up and moved from the Brentwood mansion that they had shared with Schwarzenegger. She planned to divorce Schwarzenegger and Arnold’s own son disowned him in a tweet that went viral.
Since the split, Arnold and Maria have been seen together in public on a few occasions and it was reported that Arnold was doing everything humanly (and Terminator-ly) possible to win is wife back.
It appears that his efforts might be working.
TMZ is reporting that sources close to Maria and the couple feel that Maria might be softening to Arnold and might reconsider divorcing him.
Another factor that comes into play is her religion. She maintains a strong connection to the Catholic Church, which forbids divorce.
It is being reported that the couple spent Christmas together, presumably for the children, but it might be for themselves as well.
Schwarzenegger and Shriver are parents to four children and have been married for 25 years.
