Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver: divorced ten years after parting
The actor and the journalist have an approximate fortune of 400 million dollars that, according to the US media, they will divide in half
It has been 10 years since they ended their marriage, but it is not until now that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver can say that they are officially single again. The actor, 74, and the journalist, 66, have finally signed their divorce, as published exclusively by TMZ and collected by several US media. The delay in the time of the process has been due to the complex settlement agreement of properties belonging to the couple and, although the specific details of the agreement are confidential, the digital medium reports that Schwarzenegger and Shriver will divide the approximately 400 million dollars they own (about 355 million euros), in half.
The couple, who married in April 1986, lacked a prenuptial agreement and over the 25 years they were married, they had four children: Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher. It was in May 2011, months after Schwarzenegger stepped down as governor of California after eight years in office, that they announced their consensual separation and their intention to continue raising their youngest son together.
However, the truth is that the story of one of Hollywood's model couples was blown up when he admitted to having a child out of wedlock with whom he was the family's housekeeper since 1991, Mildred Baena. That boy, named Joseph Baena and who was born just a week after the fourth child of the couple, Christopher, is 24 years old today and maintains a good relationship with his father who follows in his footsteps in the world of bodybuilding and cinema.
“It is a very difficult situation for him. It is a very difficult situation for my children ", declared the actor in an interview in 2015, in reference to said paternity. “It was tough for everyone. But it has happened and now we have to figure it out, right? ”He added. Since his separation, both the interpreter and the journalist have dated other people, but they have maintained a cordial relationship and have been seen together with their children, including Joseph.
