Mildred Patricia Baena: Mother Of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Love Child

Mildred Patricia Baena, 50, has been identified as the mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s love child, RadarOnline.com reported Tuesday night.

Baena, who goes by Patty, was a housekeeper for the Schwarzenegger family for 20 years before retiring in January.

According to TMZ, the former housekeeper--who lives several hours outside of Los Angeles with Schwarzenegger’s son and her three other children--began to "pursue Arnold" in the late 1990s. She reportedly told friends that she and Schwarzenegger had unprotected sex during the day at his house, though she didn't tell him that he was the father of her child until the boy was a toddler.

Schwarzenegger announced Monday night that he had fathered a child with a household staffer over a decade ago, before he was elected as California governor.

"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," he said in a statement issued to the Los Angeles Times. "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."

When questioned by the paper Monday before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the former household staffer--now revealed to be Baena--said another man was the child's father. She declined to comment after the Los Angeles Times notified her of Schwarzenegger's statement.

Shriver, who--with Schwarzenegger--announced the couple's separation after 25 years of marriage on May 9, issued a statement Tuesday responding to the revelation.

"This is a painful and heartbreaking time," Shriver said. "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."

Enough of the "love child" business. A.S. should show he has made a commitment to the former "housekeeper" to show love - otherwise paying someone for sex is prostitution. Is this the woman A.S. will set up housekeeping with , escort on the red carpet? Probably not. Which is why what he has done is so disgusting. A.S. thought he was so clever, having a prostitute right in his home with apparently little or no concern for the trust and emotional security of his wife and their children.

Of course this was to remain secret but the length of time for this to come out means A.S. not only damaged his marriage but also increased the risk of damaging his relationships with his children. If this news had come out when the children were young they would have missed their absent dad but not would not necessarily have understood and judged his behavior. Now the children are old enough to know who and what caused their world to fall apart and those relationship are likely to be strained. A.S. may find his kids are less than thrilled about spending time with him. That's why Mr. Big Shot won't be working on film projects; he's got a lot of fence mending to keep him busy.

Most people have a nose that arrives first, this hormonal addict has something else.

Old men pretending to be young. Pathetic.

I am guessing that his EGO would not allow him to be in a room with any woman he has not 'had'. We need to re-define success, for Men. He obviously felt very small inside, and had to overcompensate.

how bizarre for a man, especially one so wealthy, famous, and respected by all to have a mistress!

whuddathunkit! lol

at any rate it shouldn't have been kept a secret for so long, if at all.

(HINT: King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 contractors. Give Arnold a break!)

the good news is that the child WAS born in the United States, so in 25 years he can run for President, unlike his father.

Undoubtedly, both Arnold and Patricia committed against morality. Arnie having admitted his mistakes and apologetic deserves understanding while Maria needs sympathy . Public scrutiny is expected of any public figure or celebrities. This behavior is not ideal for a leader and a public official so his political hopes rest on the people.

Agh, Arnold... not to hate on this woman, but I'd expect better.

My question is how did he manage to keep such a significant secret away from his wife for so long? Surely rumours would have abounded. The mother of his child must have told someone...http://hubpages.com/author/Jefsaid/hot/

I just heard a comment that the love-child of Arnold's looks just like him and therefore there's no doubt that the kid is his..... I think the "baby mama" looks just like Arnold, too.... if I cared, I would say, "show me the birth certificate"...
