Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver announced their split in early May after having been together for 25 years.
The marriage between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver was terminated because he fathered a child with a member of his household staff, it was revealed Tuesday.
The former Governor of California and his wife announced their separation earlier this month. The couple had been together for 25 years, but remained mum on what cause the split.
The surprising split was sparked when Schwarzenegger admitted to Shriver the child, born 10 years ago, was his.
"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
"I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family," he said. "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."
The 63-year-old former bodybuilder asked that the media "respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not."
In a separate statement, the female employee told the Los Angeles Times she had said that her husband at the time was the child's father. The birth occurred years before Schwarzenegger became governor of California in 2004.
Another source told the Times that Schwarzenegger has provided financial support for the child from the beginning.

What a creep. I’m glad she left him.
It's women that are married to Kennedy men that are able to handle this.
LLS
That makes sense why she would leave him.

Coming soon to a tabloid near you: “A million dollar pay-day for story and photos”
That’s one maid who made it big!!!!!!
Exactly. In the Kennedy creed, womanizing is okay as long as you keep is discreet & don’t father a child.
She told ya that, did she?
He should have remained a single man...
I feel badly for all the kids involved.
I'm guessing the same thoughts were on his mind every morning.
The odd thing is the the timing of his confession ten years after the fact. My wild guess, he thought of the one thing that would guarantee skeletor's exit, as well as the end of any political career.
He justed wanted out right now and any crap from the press would be a cake walk compared to another single night with the living dead.
For some reason the Kingston Trio's "Zombie Jamboree" keeps running through my head ;>)
The stripper pole in the maids quarters should have been a dead giveaway.
Always called Aaaahnold “The Covert Kennedy”. Apparently he wanted to live like one in every phase of his life.
The Sperminator strikes again.
He did become a Kennedy, didn’t he?
At least Maria didn’t have cancer.
Since she didn’t mind the womanizing and only objected to the child, as a liberal, she should know how to deal with that. The kid’s ten so all she’s gotta do is perform a late post term abortion. /s
I guess that Arnold was giving the maid more than the sandwich’s that should have gone to Maria.
No she didn’t tell me that....her Kennedy heritage did.
Polishing the Hummer wasn’t enough for Arnold.
