Arnold Schwarzenegger Admits to Fathering a Love Child: Are You Disgusted or Indifferent?

When a celebrity announces a divorce or separation, it's usually just a matter of time for the other shoe to drop.

And boy, did Arnold Schwarzenegger let it drop.

Just a week after the former California governor announced his separation from Maria Shriver, his wife of 25 years, he's now admitted to fathering a child out of wedlock more than a decade ago, The Los Angeles Times reports.

The mother of Schwarzenegger's "love child" is a former member of their household staff who retired in January after 20 years of service and who was also married at the time.

The separation took place after Schwarzenegger came clean to Shriver, he says.

"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," Schwarzenegger, 63, said Monday night in a statement issued to The 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."

Schwarzenegger took financial responsibility for the child from the start and continued to provide support, a source told the paper.

During the 2003 recall election, Shriver, 55, defended her husband when more than a dozen women said he had groped them over a period of many years.

Another woman, former child actress Gigi Goyette, recently told a tabloid that she had an affair with Schwarzenegger, but he denied the allegation. She also said Schwarzenegger cheated with "so many other women," citing at least 13.

Shriver, the niece of former President John F. Kennedy, is a former television journalist who gave up her job at NBC when Schwarzenegger took office. She and Schwarzenegger have four children together ranging in age from 13 to 21.

Have you lost all respect for Schwarzenegger? Or is his private life his own business?

    Good grief do ANY politicians keep their trousers zipped up? Amazing that he was able to keep this quiet for so long, but golly gee willikers, WHY cheat on your wife, Arnold?

    What a pig, one more piggy politician in the pig pen of politics.

    When you are a public figure and have one image but live another it disgusts me. I have more respect for elected officials that live up to their shortcomings. If you have made mistakes but admit them, I'll vote for you.

    It is a sad case, but in all due respect, anyone could do such a thing. It's the sin nature in mankind rearing its ugly head. I just hope Arnold and Maria end up working things out in the future. Even with a divorce on the horizon, things can change, and hopefully for the better.

    Couldn't care less. This is his and his family's problem. Not the entire world..aka the drama obsessed mtv media watchers. He came clean, consequences happened, and he supported the child its whole life. Who he was then, yeah that was bad. But who he is NOW is completely different.

    I think the worst kind of people in all are the ones who go around pretending like they are so much better then everyone else. I am sure that we all have our 'thing' all of us, yes even the Pentacostals, and Mormons, (just an example) there is no one of us who does not have something in our closet, whether it be bullying, addictions, judging others, stealing, lying, pettiness laziness, etc. and etc. the list goes on and on. The worst is when we decide we are better then another, and spend our time trying to tear others down,

    I could care less... the only people who really care are the stupid idiot press. They make such a big deal out of a personal problem between man and wfie. There are more important problems in this world.. Let Maria deal with this.

    Moronic Press.. who are these fools!

    But I'm having a hard time determining which is worse:

    1. Having a child with the maid and flaunting it in their house under Maria's unknowing nose

    or

    2. Commuting the sentence of a murderer because he's a friend's son.

    Not that it's right but how many men have done this? Personally, i really dont care how some people mess up their lives. What they do is their business, they'll be the one's facing the consequences of their actions not me......

    Another PIG! Why are we not surprised. Pigs and politics seem to be best friends. Another one who was blessed royally and risked/threw it all away for what...10 minutes with someone? What a stupid ass! Time to disappear into well-deserved obscurity, Arnold! Btw, how did you explain all this to your legitimate children, and also, how did you explain it to the other (or others, if that be the case) son? You stink, Arnold, like something I pick up on my heel when I walk in my pasture.

    We all make mistakes, and he made his. I'm sure out of all of you that made negative remarks against arnold that your life is not perfect. At least he was willing to support the love child and mother, and in the end take full responsability for what he has done, and that is more then I can say about a lot of other people.
