Hello! photo by David Schumacher

The identity of Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s love child has been revealed by Mildred Baena. She appears on the cover and in the pages of the latest issue of HELLO! magazine with her 13-year-old Joseph Baena.

Until now, most reputable news sites have protected the identity of the boy who was fathered by the former California governor, despite the fact that his photos were prominently displayed on his mother’s My Space page.

Mildred provided an exclusive interview to accompany the HELLO! photo shoot, shedding light on how Maria Shriver found out about her husband’s love child: “Last summer, I brought Joseph over to the house. Until then, he hadn’t been around very much. After that, people in the house started whispering about how much they looked like each other.”

She went on to say: “Maria would ask if I needed to talk to her, and I kept saying no. 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.”

What was Shriver’s response to this bombshell revelation? According to Baena: “She cried with me and told me to get off my knees. Since I was retiring soon, I said I would pack and leave right away, but she said to stay until after the holidays.”
