For those wondering about the reason behind Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver splitting after 25 years of marital bliss, the truth is finally out and just as in most celebrity marriages, it is ???another woman??? here too. Schwarzenegger, 63 after leaving the governor???s office admitted to his wife about his extra-marital fling and consequently fathering a child a decade back, with a longtime member of the couple???s house-hold staff who had incidentally retired early this year.

Accepting his mistake, which resulted in Shriver, 55 moving out of their Brentwood, L.A. home and announcing separation; Schwarzenegger in a statement released to the Los Angeles Times took full responsibility for the hurt he had caused to Maria as well as to the four children – Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 13 they had together. Schwarzenegger also accepted responsibility for letting down his friends, family and fans. He however requested the media through his statement to spare his wife and children during this tough time as he alone was responsible for the mess he had created.

On the other hand, details of this female staffer who worked for the Schwarzenegger family for about 20 years are being withheld to protect her as well the child???s privacy. Meanwhile, grapevine has it that Schwarzenegger has been financially providing and still provides support for this child he bore out of wedlock. While Shriver, a member of the Kennedy clan has currently maintained a dignified silence over this marital crisis, she had definitely provided a hint of her turmoil in a You Tube video way back in March this year.
