Arnold Schwarzenegger opens up about affair with housekeeper

Arnold Schwarzenegger has lived much of his life in the public eye, first as a body builder then as an actor and finally as the governor of the state of California but until this week the controversial figure has remained silent about his relationship with a housekeeper that bore him a child and cost him his marriage to Maria Shriver. In anticipation of the release of his new biography ‘Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story” Schwarzenegger sat down with 60 minutes to film an interview that will air this Sunday. “I think it was the stupidest thing I’ve done in the whole relationship,” he says, “It was terrible. I inflected tremendous pain on Maria and unbelievable pain on the kids.” The relationship only came to light a year ago after Shriver confronted her husband during a marriage counseling session. Schwarzenegger was asked point blank if he fathered a child with his housekeeper and was forced to reveal that he had a 14 year old son that no one knew about.
