Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Infidelity: How Painful Must This Be For The Kids?
Maria Shriver, Arnold Schwarzeneggar
Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver separated after she learned he had fathered a child more than a decade ago before his first run for office.
The worst part is, it was with a household staff member who worked for the family for 20 years!
How must their children feel?
After Schwarzenegger acknowledged the paternity earlier this year, Shriver moved out of the family’s Brentwood mansion. Did their children go with her?
They have four children together: Eunice Shriver Schwarzenegger, 21, Christina Maria Aurelia, 20, Patrick Arnold Schwarzenegger, 17 and Christopher Sargent Shriver Schwarzenegger, 13.
“After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago,” Schwarzenegger said Monday night in a statement.
“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.”
It doesn’t matter how old the children are when it comes to divorce; it’s a very painful and difficult situation for everyone involved. Learning of this news, I am sure the children’s relationship with their father is very strained.
“I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time,” the statement concluded. “While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not.”
