Maria & Arnold calling it quits after 25 years

Yes, but he’s also a man who had very set life-goals in mind, all of which required a lot of self-control. Being a horndog in your younger days doesn’t necessarily mean you are one forever.

I saw Maria Shriver on Oprah’s show a few years ago and she was joking about how she had no idea how much sex would be involved in being married to Schwarzenegger. She laughingly called it “exhausting”. She also said that he didn’t need Viagra and wouldn’t allow it within five miles of the house lest someone think it was his. :smiley:

I thought it was pretty interesting that even after twenty or so years of marriage he still wanted “exhausting” amounts of sex from his wife.

But we don’t know what amount she considers exhausting. :smiley:

I dunno, biannual sex with Arnold sounds pretty tiresome to me.

Where are you getting this financial info from?

News reports have her salary at $1,200.00 a week, with Arnold fully supporting his child and being quite generous to her and her family. I’ve seen no reports where her ex was paying a penny for this child.

That’s what was reported a few days ago, on a link from Yahoo.

The ex-husband and Arnold’s mistress/maid supposedly have 4 kids together (assuming he is actually the father of all of them) and I am sure he has had to pay support for those kids, and as his name is on the birth certificate for Arnold’s kid as well, I don’t have much trouble believing that he had to pay child support for him also.

If Arnold has been paying voluntary support all of this time, I suppose it is somewhat of a credit to him, but that doesn’t mean the mistress was above double-dipping and taking $$$ from her ex as well, right?

It will all come out eventually; If the (financially strapped) ex husband was paying child support for the child of a former Governor, worth 100’s of millions of dollars, you can be sure that he will have dozens of Gloria Allred-types coming out of the woodwork to represent him.

In the divorce papers, she stated that there were no minor children from the marriage, so it seems unlikely that the court would have required any child support payment at all.

Well, as I stated above the mistress and her ex supposedly have 4 children together, but I have no idea about how old those kids were back then.

I haven’t really read too much about the details above what I have already mentioned, my whole point was that I was struck by how unattractive (putting it mildly, as the woman is frankly repulsive in regards to physical appearance, and most of the entire world seems to agree with me on that point) the mistress turned out to be. I would have expected a young, blonde Aryan uber-hottie, or maybe a hardbody UCLA coed type, or at least someone who doesn’t look like she has been living off of the $5.99 all-you-can-eat China Gardens buffet for the past decade.

Where are you getting this “four kids together”? Baena separated from her husband within a month of giving birth to Schwarzenegger’s child. I haven’t read anything that suggests that she has any other children, certainly no others fathered by Schwarzenegger.

Well, I did.

Apparently, one of us read something that is incorrect, because as I understand it, she has 5 kids total, including her child with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

This ET page has a link to the divorce papers. After nine years of marriage, she declared that there are no minor children from the marriage. So how exactly is she robbing her ex-husband of child support money?

Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have four children together. Plus the “love child” with Baena that makes five. So Schwarzenegger has five children, one of which is Baena’s. Maybe that’s where you’re getting the five figure.

I suppose that is possible, but I am almost certain that I read (or saw on a TV show like Inside Edition, which God help me, I do watch on occasion, even though I feel like I am a depraved, voyeuristic sub-human afterwards) that Baena and her ex-husband have 4 children together, which with Arnold’s son would make 5 kids for Baena total.

I may well have misunderstood, and apparently (assuming the link you posted is correct) the ex was never on the hook for child support for Arnold’s son. That is a lone bright spot in a story filled with tawdry, depressing revelations.

I never knew too much about Maria Shriver, but she seems to have tried to do good things with her family name, supporting some quality causes, and it’s too bad she chose an arrogant, self-centered, immoral jackass to marry. She deserves better…

(Finally, I have never thought too much of A.S., and the last movie that I remember seeing him in was Terminator 2, back when I was 15 or 16 years old. I don’t imagine I will be seeing any of his new stuff anytime soon)

The place I heard that said she had three more kids was Jay Leno making a joke, and showed a picture with the faces of Sylvester Stallone, Steven Seagall, and someone else.

Arnold’s “hired help” reminds me an awfully lot of Octo Mom in generic botox and plastic surgery looks. Or maybe she just looks like Natalie. But this reminds me of a comedian I saw recently on CC that was riffing a bit about how “important and busy men” choose pussy that is “available”… “ready, willing, and in the next room” over any aesthetic quality. His joke was about Lewinski and Clinton, but it applies equally here.

This. Plus a lot of guys have a thing for the maid fantasy, even if said maid isn’t all that attractive.

And, while she may not be super hot, or even mildly hot, I wouldn’t classify her as horrendous looking. She’s just an ordinary, dowdy-looking, middle-aged woman.
