The mother of the child fathered by Arnold Schwarzenegger has been revealed, according to multiple reports.
According to RadarOnline.com, the former governor's mistress is reportedly named Mildred Baena, and worked as a housekeeper and assistant for 20 years in the Brentwood, Calif., home Schwarzenegger and Shriver shared.
The child, a boy, is said to be around 14 years old, meaning Baena, 50, and Shriver would have been pregnant around the same time. Shriver and Schwarzenegger's youngest son, Christopher, is 13 years old.
Schwarzenegger and Shriver announced their separation earlier this month. The former California governor shocked the world Tuesday that when he revealed that he had fathered a child with a former staffer, who retired in January.

By Kelly Fisher Posted May 18th 2011 08:30AM
"I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family, Schwarzenegger said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. "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."
"This is a painful and heartbreaking time," Shriver said in a statement of her own. "As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment."
Schwarzenegger and Shriver have four children together: Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 13.
Patrick took to Twitter Tuesday, tweeting, "Some days you feel like shit, some days you want to quit and just be normal for a bit, yet I love my family till death do us apart. #family."
Katherine also wrote on Twitter, "This is definitely not easy but I appreciate your love and support as i begin to heal and move forward in life.I will always love my family!"

I think what amazes me most about this whole debacle is that the state of California, that won't allow gay marriage, goes and elects a man who destroys the sanctity of his marriage AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE BRAINS TO USE A CONDOM when he strays.
You shouldn't fist pump the bible if you're also pumping the help Arnie.

You are a moron, and a pitiful racist. I am black and I have a housekeeper and a gardener. Idiot!
As long as he did not misuse tax payer monies, cost the tax payer money as a result of it, or break any laws it is nobodys G.D. business except for the parties involved.

The boy is not a "love child", it was pure sex. There's no doubt in my mind that Arnold has a deep love for Maria, unfortunately, Arnold made an enormous error and has a son to show for his indiscretions. In most cases, ignorance is bliss, there's no turning back the hands of time.

Is there a possibility that the mother of the other child "tricked" him into getting pregnant? meaning maybe she told him she was on the pill and wasn't. Having his child is money for her.
Reply
Rirchard, Must have been lots of money for her to continue being a maid for all those years. I don't think so!
I don't know what newspaper you are reading or what station you are watching, but I have seen many stories of white men fathering illegitimate children...especially politicians. It is not only focused on black men. Arnold is an idiot....no doubt, but the woman didn't have to open her legs. If she is the one who instigated the affair, she deserves equal blame. I hope they both get what they deserve.

Mildred Baena is Latino, not Black... Schwarzenegger is Australian, when will race quit being an issue??? They are 2 people who made a wrong choice and messed up families!

Wrong continent..Arnold is an AUSTRIAN. He is just another man that went astray, cheated on his wife. For how long we dont know, is he different from the millions of others ? Demn righ he is he id filthy rich. Money allows men to test the borders and women flock to the like sheep to a salt lick. So maybe it is not such a big deal at all. Remember when a man cheats 99% of the time it is with some other mans woman. So dont worry about it, he must have treated her very well to stay on in his house fourteen years after she gave birth.
Arnold is Austrian not Australian !!!!!!!!!!
A child is a child. To fault the child for his/her conception is wrong. This child or any other child did not pick their parents. Don't project anger at the child.

Ah, give Arnie a break. He is only spreading the joy.

sad sad..very sad.............what a disgrace. And now we get to see "the other women"..holy smoke...IS ARNOLD blind...???...he must be very "inadequate"...he had to prove he was a MAN to his house keeper...OH BROTHER....my heart/prayers go out to Maria & her Children. ARNOLD IS A VERY STUPID MAN....

Does anyone think, even in the back of your mind, that it's NOBODY'S business on the particulars of this story? Should NOTHING be private, between the parties involved? Even if they are "public figures" doesn't give us the right to know every painful detail of their lives!!- There I said it!!

@Linda: He's Austian not Australian. There's a pretty big difference.. other than that I agree with your post.
