But it was only this month that \u201cThe Terminator\u201d star officially cut ties with his ex after a long, drawn-out divorce proceeding. This was allegedly due to \u201clack of motivation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, the couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement when they wed in 1986, which was part of the reason their divorce took so long to finalize. The Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-10350911\/Arnold-Schwarzenegger-Maria-Shriver-OFFICIALLY-DIVORCED-10-years-separating.html\">reported<\/a> that the couple had a combined net worth of more than $400 million which included multiple properties. Dividing and settling those assets took a long time. The pair originally filed for divorce in July 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Now the settlement was finally reached, though the details are not public. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2021\/12\/28\/arnold-schwarzenegger-maria-shriver-divorced-money-prenup\/\">TMZ<\/a>, a private judge mediated and signed off on the divorce earlier in December 2021. Joint properties included an extravagant Brentwood mansion, a holiday home in Idaho, and several investment properties that Schwarzenegger had amassed over the years.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for the couple\u2019s split was embarrassingly public. Tabloids touted how Schwarzenegger had fathered a child with the family housekeeper, Mildred Patricia \u2018Patty\u2019 Baena. That child, Joseph Baena, was born only days before the former governor\u2019s wife Shriver gave birth to their fourth child in 1997.<\/p>\n<p>The scandal came to light 14 years after it happened when Shriver confronted her husband with her suspicions. In May 2011, the world learned that Joseph was truly Schwarzenegger\u2019s biological son. The \u201cTerminator\u201d star said he only learned of the truth himself when the boy was around eight years old and started looking more like him. According to the Mail, Shriver was especially hurt because she considered Patty a good friend and felt betrayed by both her husband and Patty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Later, the former bodybuilder told Howard Stern that losing Shriver was his \u201cbiggest failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had personal setbacks, but this was, without any doubt, the biggest setback and the biggest failure. Without any doubt,\u201d the former governor <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Entertainment\/arnold-schwarzenegger-opens-maria-shriver-split\/story?id=32007854\">told<\/a> Stern in 2015. \u201cNot only failure, but you feel like, \u2018I\u2019m to blame for it. It was me that screwed up.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, insisting that he accepted blame for the situation. \u201cAnd you can\u2019t point the finger at anyone else. So yeah, I was disappointed in it. But it\u2019s always easy to be smart in hindsight. The thing was how do you make the best of that situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now Shriver and Schwarzenegger are officially split. Both had already moved on with new relationships while remaining friendly with each other for the sake of the children. The former body builder has been dating physical therapist Heather Milligan for more than eight years. Meanwhile, Shriver was in a relationship with political pundit Matthew Dowd for several years.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarzenegger maintains a relationship with his illegitimate son Joseph and has been photographed working out with him. He also <a href=\"https:\/\/losangeles.cbslocal.com\/2011\/05\/18\/schwarzenegger-reportedly-bought-housekeeper-4-bedroom-home\/\">provided<\/a> financial support to Patty and Joseph, purchasing them a four-bedroom home in Bakersfield after Patty divorced her husband in the wake of the affair.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
