Arnold Schwarzenegger Admits Fathering Child Out of Wedlock
The separation of former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver took a shocking new twist Monday. The Los Angeles Times reported that they split after Shriver was informed that her husband fathered a child out of wedlock.
Schwarzenegger confirmed the affair and paternity of the child, born to a longtime female member of their household staff more than a decade ago.
The employee retired in January after 20 years with the family.
Arnold and Maria's separation after 25 years of marriage came as a shock last week. Shriver moved out of their mansion after he confirmed the paternity.
In a statement, Schwarzenegger said: "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."
"I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not. "
Schwarzenegger, who has four children with Shriver, said he financially provided for the child, whose name and the mother's are not being released.
The Times will not name Arnold's Rielle Hunter equivalent, but chances are very good her identity will surface at some point, for better or for worse.
In an interview Monday before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the former staffer said another man - her then-husband - was the child's father.
She said she voluntarily left her position with the couple earlier this year after reaching a longstanding goal of working for them for two decades.

Yes, this " lady" is a slum of the earth opportunist for sleeping with this whorer getting pregnant and then haning around pregnant at the the same time that this man's wife was pregnant but, if it hadnt been her it would have been someone else because, that MR.UNIVERSE ASS HOLE WAS going to sleep with someone in that house that wAS not blood related (other than his wife) and he will do it again because after all he is Mr. Universe, Conan the Barbarian "gropper", the Terminator I "the evil one" and the Terminator II "the redeemer" He is so full of himself.

to Mary, regarding Arnold's accent: I wish to share some linguistic wisdom on the nature of "accent." Once, you are past 16 years of age, you are done. Your primary pattern of speaking is completed. Therefore, any new language you later acquire is like a layer in a torte, spread over the mother-tongue (base). The layer can fit tightly but does not blend (look at the torte). The foundation, host (in his case: German) is penetrating through the top layer of a "newcomer"guest,that is Enqlish. It is a misconception that you can get rid of it by longlife use; check out Zsa Zsa Gabor with her Hungarian accent, Harry Kissinger's heavy German and even Princess Diane's highly clipped English. Only practicing every day for hours the same word, one at a time (like a pianist torturing one key for hours on end) you can tame it, soften it, OR by constant voice- coaching ( Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice speaking Polish). Conclusion, learn your foreign language through your childhood and adolescence,

Good grief!!! The man is not even good looking and after all his years in the United States, still speaks with an over the top accent. It is mindblowing that he thinks of himself as sexy (which he is NOT). Feel so sorry for his kids. Maria knows and always knew he was a cheater.
