Maria Shriver Confronted Mildred Baena About Affair

By Elizabeth Yun Posted May 20th 2011 04:59PM

It wasn't guilt or the looming threat of the story coming out that made Arnold Schwarzenegger spill the beans about his affair to wife, Maria Shriver -- it was Shriver's intuition.

The former first lady of California had longstanding suspicions about the identity of Mildred Baena's son's father. According to a joint investigation by RadarOnline and Star, she finally asked the housekeeper, who had been working for the family for 20 years, if Schwarzenegger was her now-13-year-old son's father. Baena broke down and confessed. The website reports that Schwarzenegger only admitted it after Shriver confronted him.

"Maria has suspected this for a long time and she asked the housekeeper," a source told RadarOnline. With confirmation from Baena, "Maria then went to Arnold and he confessed."

There have been some conflicting reports that Baena threatened to tell all when the 14-year secret became too much, but a friend said that that was never the case. "She was upset with Arnold at the time and didn't know what to do, she thought about going public, but it was a fleeting thought. Ultimately she didn't want to hurt Arnold. But she also didn't want her employment to end."

In the end, Shriver was the one to unravel the truth, and Baena resigned in January "without animosity."

The former action film star and California governor admitted he had fathered an illegitimate child with a household staffer on Monday (May 16). Since then, sordid details about the affair, his mistress and their son have continued to emerge. Yesterday, Shriver hired top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, although whether she will actually divorce her husband of 25 years is still unclear.

Hmmmmmmmmm, personally I think both women a hard to look at. One look like Lurch and the other The Crypt Keeper. Just sayN

By Coleen

John and Mike B. - you think Arnold can do better? He may appeal to you two men, so you can have him. Most women find him extremely creepy. Even more so after this.

By hahaheeheehoho

He wasn't.

By Lisa

YIKES!!! The other woman looks like a man!!!

By dano

Maria is a pretty good looking woman for her age, although she could gain about 20 lbs and shave off a decade from her face. But the housekeeper is a straight cow.

By J.E.B.

Lorrie; Arnold wasn't thinking, it was a case of the LITTLE HEAD thinking for the big head!

By fuzzy

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking that when this story broke with her picture ::::::::GAG ME:::::::::

By Sekinu2

Yeah neither are attractive and kind of both look like men but the house keeper is the uglier of the 2 uglies. I think he would have been able to upgrade from either lol

By Tom

Why put the other womans looks into question. I never thought Maria Shriver was anything speciaal. Did you see what her mother looked like?

By Jim

So he picks the Mexican hippo over his wife.
Word is he did that a lot, what a coward, Hollywood's
best. He fits right in with Hollywood spouse swappers
and coke heads. Land of losers.
Now do you think people will understand WHY he
was anti-immigration law?!
He likes those hippo's!

Sorry but I think if Maria didn't have the Kennedy name and money, she would be a nothing. She is not attractive at all. She is SSSOO hard looking. She needs to lose all of that black eye makeup. She is wrinkled up and looks rough. Arnold obviously doesn't have good taste in women as far as the way they look. Neither of these women are attractive. Maria needs to wear shades all the time because she looks best in shades.

Hey Marie, Heard she was wearing your clothes while you were out of town and made love in the same bed you and Arnold share.
She probably bragging to all her desperate housewives that what clothes you were in public is what she was wearing while you were out of town... GO FIGURE !!...........

By Anna

Marie is size 4 that houskeeper is probibly size 14 .. Even though she wanted to wear her clothes, she could not really.. (: But she used her husband though and shame on Arnold.. I will never watch any of his movies any more.
