(Los Angeles) Arnold Schwarzenegger’s marriage to Maria Shriver is officially over: ten years after their separation following an infidelity by the star, a Los Angeles court has registered their divorce, according to US media.
According to the website TMZ, specializing in celebrities and the first to provide information, the divorce proceedings were particularly long because of the couple’s assets and the multiple financial aspects to be negotiated.
Maria Shriver, journalist niece of former President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, had filed for divorce in July 2011. A few weeks earlier, the “Terminator” had admitted to having had a relationship with the couple’s housekeeper, Mildred Baena, from whom was born a boy in 1997.
“After my term as governor ended, I spoke to my wife about this event, which dates back more than a decade,” wrote at the time Mr. Schwarzenegger, who had become governor of California in 2003.
Mme Shriver then cited “irreconcilable differences” with her husband, whom she had met in 1977 and married in 1986.
She had four children with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
