Arnold Schwarzenegger's Secret Child & Baby Momma Reveals Herself & Gives Details Of Affair! (PHOTOS)!

Meet Patricia Mildred Baena, the 50-year-old former housekeeper who is baby momma of Arnold Schwarzenegger's secret 10 year old child!

No more than 24 hours after we reported that Arnold had a secret child from an affair with his housekeeper from 10 years ago....Patricia Baena, the baby momma, has revealed herself and her child and she is cashing in on her story.

She says she was a housekeeper/assistant for the family for more than 20 years. Her jobs included cleaning, laundry, cooking and other chores.

The word on the streets is that Patricia Baena pulled a "Single White Female" on Arnold's wife Maria, as she used Maria's clothes, jewelry and even her man when not around. Sources say in the late ’90s Patty began to “pursue Arnold.” She told friends they would have unprotected sex during the day at the house. Patty never slept overnight at the house and no one ever caught them in the act.

“Maria has suspected this for a long time and she asked the housekeeper,”

a source close to the situation said.

“The housekeeper admitted it. Maria then went to Arnold and he confessed.”

He didn’t volunteer the information, and it could have remained a secret if Maria hadn’t asked.

We’re told when Patty became pregnant, she didn’t tell Arnold he was the father. Arnold didn’t learn he was the daddy until the boy was a toddler.

Patty — who made $1,200 a week — was treated well by Arnold once he found out. Sources say Arnold was always “generous.”

Patty — who has recently retired — now lives in a 4 bedroom house with a pool, several hours outside of L.A. with the boy and her 3 other kids.


We're told the Christmas photo above was taken inside Arnold's house around the year 2000.

The child in the photo is Christopher Schwarzenegger. This was all right around the time Arnold learned he fathered Patty's child, who was born a week after Christopher.

Here she is prego with her own child with Arnold.


The picture above, featuring the two dancing in front of a live mariachi band, was shot back in November 1994 ... around the same time "True Lies" and "Junior" came out in theaters. Just saying.

Arnold Schwarzenegger & Wife Split Over Secret 10yr Old Child!

Arnold is the father to his household staffer

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, separated after the former governor revealed he had fathered a child with a member of their household staff, The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

The couple announced in a joint statement May 9 that they had separated after 25 years of marriage. The Times reported Tuesday that Shriver moved out of the family's Brentwood mansion earlier this year after Schwarzenegger acknowledged the child is his.

"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," Schwarzenegger said in a statement issued to the newspaper. "I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.

"I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time," the statement concluded. "While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not."

A spokesman for Schwarzenegger did not immediately return a phone call and e-mail from The Associated Press early Tuesday. A spokesman for the former first lady told the Times she had no comment.

The Times did not publish the former staffer's name nor that of her child but said the staff member worked for the family for 20 years and retired in January.

In an interview Monday before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the former staffer said another man -- her husband at the time -- was the child's father. She said she voluntarily left her position with the couple "on good terms."

When the Times later informed the woman of the governor's statement, she declined to comment further.

Arnold Schwarzenegger & Wife Split Over Secret 10yr Old Child!

When it was announced last week that the former California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his wife split, it was kind of sudden...but not for Arnold!

He’s one of the most famous people on the planet, a two-term governor of California, a movie star and a former world champion bodybuilder...

Yet somehow, for more than a decade, Arnold Schwarzenegger managed to keep an incredible secret from the public and his wife, prominent former TV journalist and Kennedy heiress Maria Shriver: that he fathered a child with a woman on his household staff more than a decade ago.

The revelation came Tuesday, just a week after we reported that Arnold and Maria announced they had separated.

“I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family,”

Schwarzenegger wrote in a statement. “

There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.”

Hours later, Shriver also released a statement:

“This is a painful and heartbreaking time. As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment.”

Two of their four children posted on Twitter, expressing their love for their family.

"Some days you feel like s---, some days you want to quit and just be normal for a bit,”

tweeted 17-year-old Patrick Schwarzenegger, quoting the band Fort Minor’s heartbreak song “Where’d You Go.” Adding his own words, he said,

“Yet I love my family till death do us apart.”

His 21-year-old sister, Katherine Schwarzenegger, followed later in the day.

“This is definitely not easy but I appreciate your love and support as i begin to heal and move forward in life,”

she said.

“I will always love my family!”
