According to the Los Angeles Times, former California Governor and Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, have split after the actor admitted to fathering a child out of wedlock with a long-time member of their home staff.

According to the source, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, the former California governor is “way on the outside of the circle” and “rambling around” their massive mansion with no one from his family there.

The Terminator star confirmed the fatherhood in a statement to the Los Angeles Times, saying:

“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 apologized 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. “

Shriver, 55, is said to have left the family’s residence early this year. A representative for the former first lady of California said she had no comment.

It’s unclear what sparked the reveal right now: According to the Times, the woman departed from the family’s service in January after working for them for 20 years. According to a source, Schwarzenegger — who would have been a movie star at the time the child was born, but not yet in politics — assumed responsibility from the outset and has supplied financial assistance ever since.

According to the source, Schwarzenegger’s four children were just recently informed of their sibling, with Shriver “methodically” talking to them. According to the insider, they were “well prepared” before the information became public.

On May 10, Schwarzenegger made his first public remarks about his split from Shriver. He claimed he spoke with Shriver earlier in the day and intimated that they were working toward reconciliation while speaking at the 63rd annual Israel Independence Day Celebration at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. “We both love each other very much,” he explained. “We are very fortunate that we have four extraordinary children, and we’re taking one day at a time.”

Shriver, a well-known television journalist in her own right, is the daughter of the late Eunice Kennedy Shriver, sister of former US President John F. Kennedy. They met at a tennis event, got married in April 1986, and have four children.
