The alleged mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s lovechild has been named by a U.S. website. Mildred Baena, 50, is said to have fallen pregnant with her son, who is now aged around 14, while working for the former California governor and his wife as a housekeeper.
A joint investigation by RadarOnline and Star magazine in the U.S. led to the naming of the woman.
‘She is the one,’ a source told the website.
Photos posted online by Baena, known as Patty, show her and a young boy.
She claims on a social networking site to be ‘single’ and ‘dating or searching for a serious relationship’. Baena also describes herself as a ‘proud parent’.
The New York Times did not name Baena, but reports that she was pregnant with her son at the same time Maria Shriver was expecting the youngest of her four children, Christopher, who is 13.The two women would have encountered one another daily, with Baena working in the family home but living elsewhere. Shriver was led to believe that the child was fathered by Baena’s then husband, from whom she is now divorced.
Baena finally gave up her job in January after 20 years in their service. Her son is said to have been an ‘occasional presence’ at the family’s home.
According to website TMZ she told friends they would have unprotected sex during the day at Schwarzenegger’s house.
Baena made $1,200 a week according to the website and ‘was treated well by generous Schwarzenegger’ once he found out that he had fathered the boy, who by then was a toddler.
She now lives in a 4-bedroom house with a pool, several hours outside of LA with the boy and her three other children.
Schwarzenegger told his wife about the child after he left office in January – leading to the couple’s separation.
‘This is a painful and heartbreaking time,’ Shriver said yesterday.
‘As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment.’Shriver and the Terminator star have four children together; Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 13.
Patrick tweeted yesterday: ‘Some days you feel like sh*t, some days you want to quit and just be normal for a bit, yet I love my family till death do us apart. #family.’
He later changed his onscreen name to Patrick Shriver, from Schwarzenegger. His 21-year-old sister, Katherine Schwarzenegger, followed later in the day.
‘This is definitely not easy but I appreciate your love and support as i begin to heal and move forward in life,’ she said. ‘I will always love my family!’
After finding out about the affair Shriver moved out of the family home and into a hotel.She is said to have been ‘miserable’ in her relationship for several years but did not want to end her marriage because of her strong Catholic beliefs.
Last night she appeared alongside Oprah Winfrey, an old friend, as the chatshow host filmed her final show.
Wearing a blue dress and with her hair styled in waves, Shriver posed alongside Oprah in front of the audience, smiling and laughing.
She came on stage at the United Center with Winfrey’s best friend, Gayle King.
Shriver told Winfrey that the talk show host has ‘given me love, support, wisdom and most of all the truth.’ Making no mention of the latest scandal surrounding her husband, she said she knew she wasn’t ‘alone in receiving those gifts.’Schwarzenegger broke news of the affair in a statement to the LA Times earlier this week: ‘After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago.
‘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 apologised to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.
‘I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not.’The LA Times said that when it approached the mother of Schwarzenegger’s lovechild after his statement was released, she declined to comment further.The woman, now thought to be Baena, said she voluntarily left her position with the couple ‘on good terms’.
She said: ‘I wanted to achieve my 20 years, then I asked to retire.’
In a further revelation website TMZ claimed that Schwarzenegger used his Santa Monica office for meetings with a series of women, around five to seven years ago.
The women would arrive in the early hours of the morning, carrying manilla envelopes. After meeting with Schwarzenegger for several hours they would then leave.
The world was stunned earlier this month when Schwarzenegger and Shriver announced they had split after 25 years of marriage, with many questioning the reasons behind the break-up.
They released a statement which read: ‘This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us.
Shriver then took to Twitter to thank her fans for their support after announcing the split, writing: ‘Thank you all for the kindness, support and compassion. I am humbled by the love. Thank you.’
And, at an appearance last week at the Los Angeles’ Skirball Cultural Center, Schwarzenegger suggested there was a chance of reconciliation.
He said: ‘We both love each other very much. We are very fortunate that we have four extraordinary children and we’re taking one day at a time.’
