Mildred Baena, Mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Lovechild, Interview

Mildred Baena, the family housekeeper and mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 13-year-old illegitimate son, has come out of hiding for an exclusive interview with Hello! magazine. Baena was joined for a photo shoot by their son, Joseph, who she recalls exclaimed “Cool!” after discovering the truth about his father’s identity. “I knew Arnold was the father, and maybe as Joseph got older and began to look like him, he [Arnold] wondered. But he never said anything to me,” Baena told the British tabloid. She also commented on the love and support of Schwarzenegger’s estranged wife Maria Shriver, who reportedly put “two and two together.” “She was so strong,” Baena said. “She cried with me and told me to get off my knees. We held each other and I told her it wasn’t Arnie’s fault, that it takes two.” Baena added that she hopes Shriver and Schwarzenegger “work things out.”
