The alleged mistress of Arnold Schwarzenegger was Mildred Patricia Baena. She was a housekeeper and an assistant to Arnold and Maria Shriver for over 20 years. Mildred, also known as "Patty," gave birth to Arnold's love child 14 years ago.
Maria and Arnold have four children: Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, Patrick, 17 and Christopher, 13. While Maria was pregnant with Christopher, Arnold's youngest, Patty was also pregnant with one of Arnold's kids.
The former Governor of California was never known as the greatest actor, but he pulled off an excellent job of keeping the secret from his wife of 25 years. The 63-year-old came clean after he left the governor's office. Maria moved out after the secret was revealed.
Are love children and affairs new for the man dubbed the "Sperminator"?
Says L.A. Democratic consultant Garry South, "In 2001 when he first came forward and indicated that he might run for governor there were rumors coming to us constantly about affairs and children."
Okay, those are the words of a Democrat and Arnold is a Republican. What would a nonpolitical person say?
Says one commenter, "Arnold has been doing this for a long time now. I had a friend whose sister was a small-time actress and she always wrote her sister about having trysts with Arnold when Maria was pregnant with their second child. I would have been embarrassed about it, but she thought it was "cool."
As the saying goes: once a cheater always a cheater?
When a political or celebrity couple smile for the cameras, the image is that they are happy and living a fairy tale marriage. But for many members of the public, it's just an image. There are so many stories of infidelity from politicians and celebrities that the public almost expects it.

Post a CommentThe "Sperminator" made me spit coffee out of my nose.
"Baby-bumps" hehe this is what I love about your work. Very well written article.
What "love child"? Doesn't this make him a baby daddy, like the rest of them?
Maria and Patty gave birth around the same time. So, Arnold was there to support his wife during his pregnancy, but what about Patty? Was Arnold by her side when she had her baby? Was he present in the child's life? Probably not since Maria didn't know anything. Now there are allegations that Arnold had other affairs and other love children. It does take two to tango, but Arnold is a dog who abused his marriage and who fooled a public who elected him.
I wonder if Patty's child knew who his father was before this? Lots of people cheat (doesn't make it right) but I think the sad part about this was that he kept the woman employed under him and if the child did know, he would have recognized that he and his mother were not treated the same as Arnold's "real" family. Cannot be good for the self esteem of the child or of Patty. This wasn't a typical extramarital affair. He was her employee and also a man of a very powerful position, making it in a sense, abuse of power. I'm not negating the fact that it takes 2 to make a baby, of course, just that it seems worse, when one party is "famous".
