Schwarzenegger Fathered Secret Child --
Shriver: It's a 'painful and heartbreaking time'

By JOHN ANTCZAK, Associated Press John Antczak, Associated Press – 30 mins ago
LOS ANGELES – Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has acknowledged that he fathered a child with a member of his household staff, a revelation that apparently prompted wife Maria Shriver to leave the couple's home before they announced their separation last week.

Shriver separately issued a statement saying it was a "heartbreaking time," and one of their children, Patrick, expressed sadness and a yearning for normalcy in a Twitter message.

Schwarzenegger and Shriver jointly announced May 9 that they were splitting up after 25 years of marriage. Yet, Shriver moved out of the family's Brentwood mansion earlier in the year after Schwarzenegger acknowledged the child is his, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," Schwarzenegger told the Times on Monday in a statement that was later sent to The Associated Press. "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.

6. I thought maybe Maria had enough of a tiny man who would cut the ....
prison sentence in half of a convicted murderer as a political favor....
but, I guess that household romping was her final straw.....

10. Interesting -- but in the sense of how betrayal can be kept even from the wife -- !!
And this is quite huge betrayal because it saddles Maria's kids with unknown

brothers/sisters -- step kin, but none the less -- kin.

The secret love kids really doesn't bother me as much as what I see as his coarse

and nasty treatment of women --- I think he's disgusting on the order of a huge

septic tank -- !!

You can see that women who have had his children, however, aren't going to out him

for obvious reasons -- self-protection and protecting the chidlren.

Wouldn't want to see the kids, themselves upset and harassed for Arnhold's behavior.

I'm sad for Maria and her kids -- but will always wonder how she could have been

with such a pig!!

And, evidently there are FANS waiting for a new Terminator movie?

ugh!
