Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver

After her divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver received half of her income, including retirement savings. The 66-year-old ex-wife of the actor was entitled to half of the money that 74-year-old Schwarzenegger earned during their lifetime with a court decision. It was reported by US Magazine, citing the June 2 court order.

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver officially divorced in 2021, 10 years after their separation. Their divorce was delayed due to difficulties with the division of the jointly acquired property, whose value is $ 400 million, as well as “lack of motivation on both sides,” as journalists wrote.

Therefore, Maria Shriver filed for divorce in 2011 after learning about Schwarzenegger’s affair with housekeeper Mildred Baena, with whom he has an illegitimate child. The actor himself described the betrayal as “the biggest mistake in life” after the divorce and said he “would have no excuse” and apologized to his ex-wife as well.

Joseph Baena, the illegitimate son from a servant, the actor recognized him and maintains a relationship with him.

Shriver admitted that she was very worried about her husband’s betrayal and said she was worried about how the scandal would affect her children. Despite this, after breaking up, the couple managed to maintain friendly relations.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver were married in 1986 and have four children: sons Patrick and Christopher and daughters Katherine and Christina.
