Arnold Schwarzenegger Fathered Child With Worker

With member of household staff.

So it wasn’t the empty nest: Maria Shriver left Arnold Schwarzenegger after learning he had fathered a child with a member of their household staff 10 years ago, before he took office. The mother of the child, whose name the Los Angeles Times did not print, retired in January after working for the family for 20 years. "After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," Schwarzenegger said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. "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.”
