Amidst all this, Schwarzenegger’s wife, Maria Shriver, was suspicious of an affair between her husband and Mildred. The affair was revealed when Mildred broke down in tears and confessed that Joseph was Arnold’s son. Arnold later made a public announcement on the same and apologized to his wife, children, and family.
