Former California Governor/actor Arnold Schwarzenegger released an official statement to finally admit he had a love child with a member of his household staff more than ten years ago, which ultimately led to the end of his marriage with Maria Shriver this month after more than 25 years.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Veto Letter F-Bomb

Arnold Schwarzenegger said in a statement:

“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.”

The unidentified household staffer worked for Schwarzenegger’s family for 20 years at their Brentwood mansion before she retired on good terms earlier this year. Arnold has reportedly been financially supporting the child, whose mother lied saying the father was her then-husband, for all these years.

Arnold and his wife Maria announced their split earlier this month after she learned about her husband’s ultimate betrayal. Arnold seemed to want to make things work again, but Maria will most probably forgive, but never forget the fact he deceived and lied to her for more than a decade.
