Arnie's another love rat

After shocking everyone by stepping into politics and actually doing pretty darn well - Governor of California - who'd have thunk it? Arnie has now shocked again by splitting from wife Maria Shriver.

Maria, a part of the prolific Kennedy family and credited with helping Arnold Schwarzenegger move into politics, announced that the couple were separating after 25 years of marriage earlier this week.

That announcement obviously got tongues wagging, it's not often that politicians will publicly separate for fear it will tarnish their image - so there must have been something that caused the decision.

And then it came out that there was a fairly huge reason the pair had separated - Arnie had an affair 14 years ago and worse than that - he fathered a love child with his mistress!

The woman he had an affair with was actually his, Maria and their four children's housekeeper! She still worked for them until January of this year!

And yet she has a 14-year-old son to Arnie and no one has ever known!

Goodness gracious - that's a bit of a shocker! You just know there's going to be a movie made about this.
