Trouble in California paradise? In 1986, Maria Shriver, and Arnold Schwarzenegger lawfully wed. Now 25 years later they have apparently parted ways. The former Governor is a hardcore Republican while Maria was part of the Kennedy clan. A joint statement read that after "a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us," the couple decided to separate. However, behind the scenes it is known that Maria moved out of the couple's L.A. mansion months ago. Maria apparently has been unhappy in her marriage for years. Allegedly, Arnold's ego is often out of control ego.
The couples problems are not all that different from average folks. Arnold's drive to return to his career (as an actor) has apparently left Maria feeling distant and their relationship "unstable." Despite the unhappiness, Maria apparently lingered in the relationship because of her religious views which look with disfavor upon divorce. Let's hope they make the best decision for themselves and their families.
Update 5-19-11: Apparently Arnold fathered a 13 year old son with the housekeeper. Given the child's smile, one suspects Shriver has had a strong indices of suspicion for many years. Attorney Laura Wasser is apparently advising Shriver.
