Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver Finalized Their Divorce in 2021
Arnold Schwarzenegger previously noted his kids should 'not suffer' because of his divorce from Maria Shriver.
Their breakup followed the news that Arnold fathered a son, Joseph Baena, 28, whom he shares with former housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena.
The ex-California governor got candid with People back in 2023 about his divorce, saying: “It’s not like we had a feud. We didn’t have a fight. It’s just my f--- up, right? She said, ‘Okay, this is what it is,’ and then she decided to make a split, so it was her decision."
He continued: "But the fact is, we always made it very clear that the kids should not suffer because of that.”
“So everything is kind of just as if we’re together but we have separate lives, and she has her things, her relationship, I have mine,” he added.
Maria Shriver told 'People' last year she's in a 'good place' with her ex-husband.
“But we always communicate about the kids, about the holidays, about birthday parties and Mother’s Day parties and Christmas. My chapter with Maria will continue on forever," Arnold said.
The journalist also shared an update with People last year about where she stands with the action star after their divorce.
Maria noted they “are in a good place" as they continue to remain amicable following their split.
“We laugh a lot about our kids, our grandkids, ourselves, and we are proud of the fact that we are still in conversation,” she told the publication. “For almost 50 years!”
