Schwarzenegger: I still love ex-wife

Arnold Schwarzenegger is still in love with his estranged wife, Maria Shriver, he said in an interview with Germany’s top-selling newspaper.

The actor and politician is quoted in today’s edition of Bild as saying that, despite their separation, he spent Christmas with Ms Shriver and their children.

Schwarzenegger is cited as saying: “We’re not fighting any war: I still hope for reconciliation; I still love Maria.”

Ms Shriver filed for divorce last year after 25 years of marriage following Schwarzenegger’s admission that he fathered a child with the family’s housekeeper.

He has also admitted to other affairs.
