CLAIM: Arnold Schwarzenegger Wanted ‘20-Year-Old Honey’ After Marriage Breakup

Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to spill all about his life and career in his upcoming memoir, “Total Recall,” but first Newsweek has a piece about the former governor’s recent trials and tribulations.

The magazine is out with an article about the demise of his marriage to Maria Shriver, which largely stemmed from Schwarzenegger fathering a child with the family housekeeper, Mildred Baena.

According to Newsweek, “Schwarzenegger slept with the middle-aged Baena for the same reason that George Mallory said he climbed Mount Everest—because she was there. With Arnold, sex has always been about his willful assertion on the world. It is about taking everything he wants to take, touching anything he feels like touching, and going wherever he wants to go.”

In the years after Baena gave birth — and son Joseph began to look more and more like his secret father — Shriver reportedly had questions about the boy’s paternity, but “every time Shriver talked to Schwarzenegger about it, he said it was not true,” friends and family tell the magazine.

Newsweek also says tension between the pair increased during Schwarzenegger’s time in office, with the movie star becoming “consumed with the incredible rush of power and prestige that, according to one source, was almost like an addiction.”

It was Jan 4, 2011, the day after his term ended, when Shriver confronted Schwarzenegger about the affair, and he confessed.

“To hear Schwarzenegger’s account, it was a civilized encounter, where manners trumped feelings,” Newsweek reports. “But those who have felt the sting of Maria’s anger suggest the decibel level of her wrath was a hundred-fold higher.”

Issues between the two also reportedly differed on how best to move forward and possibly save their marriage.

The magazine says that Schwarzenegger “could not understand why Maria could not just forgive and get on with things, and when Maria said she needed a trial separation and told Arnold to move out, family and friends say that he refused. It was his house, and he wasn’t budging.”

Only when “Arnold refused to continue with therapy after the one session,” writes Newsweek, “Maria decided she had no choice but to ask for a divorce.”

Apparently, that was just fine with the movie star.

Newsweek reports that Schwarzenegger allegedly told a neighbor, “I think things will work out OK with Maria, but if they don’t, I’m getting me a 20-year-old honey.”

He also allegedly declared, “I have the money, the power, and the plane, and I will have the friends.”

Shriver “truly loved him. She was looking for a basis to go back, but he was incapable of giving it to her,” says a Newsweek source.

But what Schwarzenegger has been left with is open to debate.

“Arnold’s always been alone,” one former pal tells Newsweek. “It’s just that it’s more obvious, and maybe now even he recognizes something of his fate.”

A source close to Schwarzenegger tells Gossip Cop the former governor “never said” those things about the “20-year-old” or “the money, the power,” and points out that the Newsweek article is based entirely on anonymous quotes.

Hmm…I’ve said in other posts that there are two kinds of cheaters: one that is actually remorseful and wants to make it right and THIS kind — Arnold’s kind. The kind who has no remorse and even brags about it. The kind who doesn’t seem to care. And the fact that GC rated this a 6…speaks volumes.

Arnold is insecure about his manhood. So “men” need a young honey for eye candy on their arm to prove they can still get it up. Well we all know that with viagra and Cialis you can always get it up! No need to parade the “floating sign” of a real live rubber doll.

Why didn’t Arnold get any tears from Will Farrel. where are the humiliating Tee Shirts

Oh funny. Can’t you just see a Tee with a limp penis on the front and Viagra on the back! Just for Arnold to wear. He took steroids for so long he is messed up.

LOL

LMAO!!! Oh, since my post they’ve dropped this from a ’6′ to a ’3′.

What does 6 to a 3 mean? LIkes?
D. Martin

It’s the REAL or RUMOR scale. The farther down the scale the more likely the rumor. The farther up the scale the more likely the truth.

Oh balderdash!

Well, that’s how GC ranks em. That’s why you see that thermometer looking thing next to the post.

This story rings true to me, not that it really matters.

I’ve said this in another post. I pointed it out with Rupert Sanders and it shows here too. Some times — and I think we’ve all seen this in our daily lives at least once — you have someone who has been promoted at work. They finally get the big promotion and the new “title” that goes with it. And — it completely goes to their head. In their mind they are set. They think they’ve got it made and they can do no wrong. If fact, they can do whatever they want.

She is ugly as all hell. He should have told her if she wasnt so ugly he wouldnt have to be with other women, just should have been honest. Look lady go get some plastic surgery or something, your gross and Arnold, good job, your a hero to men with ugly wives everywhere.
StacyBy

To Jockstrap: Why would anyone marry someone that they don’t find attractive? She must not be that bad to look at because he was with her for over 20 years. The only reason that they are getting divorced is because she got fed up. People like you and Arnold will end up alone in the end. Looks fade but to have someone that truly loves you and is there for you through thick and thin surpasses the superficial.
katherine long

a marriage is not solid if the governor is living in the state house alone and his wife living miles away in their residence; she and the children should have joined him there permanently

GET LOST YOU ARE JUST A BIG TALL LOSER
foreveramazed1

I think it’s a bunch of crap that Shriver loved him and didn’t know about his son. Shriver wanted to be a governor’s wife. Isn’t it amazing that as soon as he leaves office she starts attacking him. Me thinks the lady does protest too loudly!
Mr Sir

Arnie should change the title of his book from’Total Recall’ to ‘Total A$$hole.’
California

California is bank crupt and cutting back on education. What do you expect if you elected a governer like him.

Maria what is wrong with you are you brain dead? He was in your bed with a fat ugly woman such a insult.
WTF22012

Anybody who has any experience being around or being involved with body builders, especialy those who use steroids, knows that there is a large truth in what is being said about Arnold and his relationship with Maria. Body builders by the nature of the sport are incredibly self centered and often selfish. Add in steroids which seriously distort the users thinking, and perceptions, and you start to have a real meglomaniac. Arnold appears to fit the profile well. Maria is better off without the jacka$$inator.
sharon green

I believe every single word of it. He is a creep and always has been.

Arnold is a true champion. Except at politics and evidently marraige. Go Arnold ! By the way, there is a difference between acting and real life…

I hope they are able to reconcile. If Maria still loves him…………and he her……….then…….life is too short to cut oneself at the knees over principle. It is up to them. I wish them well.
arguethefacts

He refused to have her and their children move into the state house.
arguethefacts

She didn’t find out about his son with the housekeeper until after he left office.
sherry88

Do you honestly believe that? The maid and the kid were seen by her everyday for years, how could you not notice any of this?I just not gulliable enough to believe that she didn’t know. I know I would know and frankly Arnold is not that good of an actor to pull this off for that many years!
No daddy issues here

Please, he always had his hands all over anything that came near him. This came out before his election but like another person said, it was just too cool to vote for a “Govenator”. Of course he’ll get a younger woman, you don’t think he’ll wind of with the nanny, do you? There are too many little girls that will $%#@ his fame and money and he’ll trade love for having some young thing on his arm and in his bed. A lot of older men do.
No daddy issues here

sex for money…just another type of prostitution. She %$#@ his fame and money and he’ll have live blow up doll to play with.
No daddy issues here

guess we know why
Mscullen

I think it’s all true, the man is a loser! He was a horrible governor and he’s always been a womanizer! This is the best thing in the world for Maria! Drop the dead weight!

Maria knew what she was getting when she married Arnold. Her powerful family warned her not to proceed with the marriage, but she was truly infatuated and had to marry him. Now all those warnings have been proven true / Maria knew she was making folly, but her heart lead her into it. Four kids later and now she’s free to find her true soul mate. As for Arnold, he’s cold-hearted and only loves himself.

This is a daily routine for Western People…either single or married…so there is nothing wrong if he accepts or reject…it’s his right as a human being …. but he must have told about it to the women who is very near to his heart….this is his fault….secondly the moment he confessed it……and apologized….i think the women understand this matter very much in western culture……she must have forgived him……there is nothing wrong to be rude and take divorce and end the relationships……..

What he did…he did to his whole family. The children suffer the most.
Valerie A.

He is just another gross dishonorable male of the species… She loved him, and of course didn’t want to believe that he was lying to her over and over… And to ding-dong down there in comments, she is every bit as attractive as he is–well, moreso, actually….;and on the inside, Way more. She didn’t need his “fame” OR his money, either; did you forget what family she is from?…

Arnold is a pig.
