Schwarzenegger admits multiple affairs during 25-year marriage

Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted he had multiple affairs during his doomed 25-year marriage to Maria Shriver, but said fathering a child with their housekeeper was the “stupidest” thing he did.

In a television interview timed with the publication of his memoirs yesterday, the former bodybuilder and Hollywood star told how Shriver confronted him about the child the day after he left office as California governor in Jan 2011.

He admitted he had a habit of living “in denial” and keeping secrets, including not telling Shriver that he was going to run for governor until days before he announced it, and trying to conceal having heart surgery from her.
