It looks like we’re far from done with Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger. The former body builder, politician and current actor has the whole story told around him. It has all the makings of a catchy story and leaves you thinking, “I saw that in a movie somewhere.” Let’s take a closer look at the case that nearly destroyed his family and the home of Arnold Schwarzenegger where the story unraveled.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s house
It’s common for homes to go through hard times getting rid of a bad reputation; There are haunted houses, murder houses and most recently Arnold Schwarzenegger’s house. The house itself was innocent, that’s what was destroyed and who lives after. The house which was to be sold in 2011, marred by a public sex scandal, spent 2 years on the market. It was later sold for $12.5 million.
Besides the “ghost of past infidelity” that once haunted, the Mediterranean-style home features 9 bedrooms, 9.5 bathrooms, a large pool, cabana, and professional-sized tennis court. The grounds, which span 2.48 acres, include expansive lawns, gardens, a duck pond, a geometrically shaped swimming pool and a large patio area.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s home is nothing short of chic and elegant. The front door opens into a tastefully furnished living room. You know your living room has class when you have a piano, whether or not you can play it. The living room itself has large arched French windows, which provide an unobstructed view of the lush grounds.
This mini-tour would be very incomplete without a look at one of the 9 bedrooms that the Schwarzenegger Mansion boasts. This lucky room features beige walls, dark hardwood floors and a large bed surrounded by a canopy.
Outside the house is as beautiful as it is inside, with the following features; a geometrically shaped swimming pool, a large patio and colorful gardens.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s home has a certain level of privacy that only its long driveway can provide. A way not to enter the Arnold world, although we have yet to find our way. This house asked us where we could sign up to become bodybuilders/actors/producers/politicians/actors again. The unique resume is definitely worth it if it justifies a home like this.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s family
According to the Los Angeles Times, the actor and his family lived in this beautiful mansion from 1986 to 2003; apparently, in 2002, the couple purchased another home in Brentwood, which they still own today.
The Terminator comedian has quite a nice family; he married his wife, Maria Shriver, on April 6, 1986 and the currently estranged couple were blessed with 4 children. Maria is popularly known as an American journalist, activist, author of six bestsellers and former first lady of California. If America was a monarch state, she would be considered royalty because she is related to the Kennedys on her maternal side.
As mentioned earlier, their marriage produced 4 children; Katherine, 26, Christina, 25, Patrick, 22, and Christopher, 18. The list would not be complete without mentioning the son he fathered as a result of his affair with his governess, 20-year-old Mildred Patricia Baena. The young man, Joseph Baena, is 18 years old and was born just 5 days after Christopher.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Divorce
In hindsight, we should have added “or lack of” to the subheading above. The actor and his wife have been separated for five years since the divorce. OK, here we go! She asked for the divorce, so this subsection was not a complete waste of space.The events leading up to the divorce were quite dramatic and created a public scandal that affected the entire family.
The official split took place in 2011, when Schwarzenegger had an affair with ‘the help’. In this case, the “helper” was Mildred Patricia Baena (Patty), who was their housekeeper for 20 years. The star admitted that the breakdown of his marriage was his biggest failure, but instead of letting it go, he went out of his way to keep the family together.
Although he didn’t sign the divorce papers, the actor has since moved on. He has been in a relationship with physical therapist Heather Milligan for about three years. If we say we’re not confused, we’d be lying because the couple are widely believed to have amicably agreed to an unequivocal split in their estimated $400 million fortune. Sign the Arnold papers! Despite their distance, they have managed to maintain good relations with each other and with their children.
