Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, have separated, with Shriver moving out of their Brentwood mansion while the two determine the next step in their 25-year marriage.
Shriver has been residing apart from the actor-turned-politician for the last few weeks. The former first couple confirmed the separation in a joint statement released Monday after questions were raised by The Times.
"This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us," the statement read. "After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion and prayer, we came to this decision together. At this time, we are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship.
"We are continuing to parent our four children together. They are the light and the center of both of our lives." We consider this a private matter and neither we nor any of our friends or family will have further comment. "We ask for compassion and respect from the media and the public."
Over the years, the couple's marriage has come under close scrutiny, especially during the 2003 recall of Gov. Gray Davis, when The Times reported on Schwarzenegger's lengthy history of groping women. At the time, Shriver defended her husband, helping lift him to victory in the free-for-all contest.
Since Schwarzenegger left office, it had seemed as though the two were living separate lives. Shriver has worked on her women's empowerment website, guest edited an issue of Oprah Winfrey's magazine and promoted causes near to her heart, such as Alzheimer's research. She struggled with the death of her father, Sargent Shriver, in January, and took her son Patrick and some of his friends on an East Coast college tour in April.

I guarantee there are other women.
Look at her
Just what every freeperman wants in a chick, girlfriend ..wife.
I know there are folks here who do it but I don’t know how any serious culture war conservative could be married to a leftist....no way would I.
Spend a nite in bed with them....maybe when younger. Not even that now were I single....I don’t want to be around them..period.
Which explains Matlin...she’s more Noonan than Palin.
that was actually funny RC...
yes...in my case ..my ex wife is a raving lunatic...like Virginia Woolf-Tallulah Bankhead-Joan Crawford on acid and bourbon with a butcher knife
only pity was I didn't get my girls till they were old enough to escape her and step perv...thanks to courts that favor moms regardless of who is at fault
had she not left me she would have killed me
Wow.
Go to this YouTube rambling by Maria.
The woman has some severe problems:
True! Plus, they were able to save on imbalming fluid costs!
What is it with some of the elite left wingers and their "I prefer to look like a skinny sack of bones?
This Saturday, we went to a wedding. One of the couples attending, might make Maria appear to be moderate over weight politically moderate were at the wedding. They looked skinner and more absurd than Maria in this picture.
They are uber liberals. Their daughters are uber liberals. She was a lefty teacher/administrator, and he is a liberal lawyer, being considered as a judge.
She is about 5'6" and weighs about 100 lbs, and he is over 6' and weighs about 130-140 #'s.
They are now Vegans and psycho runners for ever. She runs with a younger group, and I often see her and her group running up and down the hills where we live. Walking those hills is a challenge for most people.
I wonder if George Shultz and Arthur Laffer still thinks he’s brilliant.
ALL female FReepers OVER 85 look much better than she. You can make book on this.
At least Ahnold can take some solace that Hollyweird is thinking of tapping him for a new action movie, "The Terminated".
Leni
OMG!!!
Of course CA is on the rocks, as well...
A fit ending for a marriage made in Hell.
She looks like a rich meth addict that happens to make-up and hair stylists on the payroll.
I wanted to make a Laffer out of Shultz, but "I see nothing..."
