Biography
In the spring of 2011, the public was shocked by the news – Hollywood actor, politician and bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is an exemplary family man, has a 14-year-old illegitimate son from a former maid. After the discovery of such details of the personal life of ” Terminator “, his legal wife Maria filed for divorce, even though she had 4 children together. Now grown up Joseph Baenu is actively compared with the young Arnold and is called the “real” son of Schwarzenegger.
Childhood and youth
Joseph Anthony Baena was born on October 2, 1997, in America, California, as a result of an extramarital affair between Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and a housekeeper in his house – Mexican Mildred Patricia, who has been cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry for 20 years.
She was practically a member of the family. At this time, the woman was officially married to Rogelio Baena, and the man was married to Maria Shriver. By the time Joseph was born, Schwarzenegger and his wife already had four children together. The TV journalist and bodybuilder have been an enviable couple since 1977 – they just dated for 8 years, after which they were legally married for 25 years.
In the 1980s, Arnold won the title of “Mr. Olympia”, after which cinematographers drew attention to the muscular handsome man and began to invite him to their projects. In the blink of an eye, yesterday’s athlete became the idol of millions, and his creative biography was replenished with dozens of films. He admired fans not only with his acting and pumped-up body but also with the ability to be an exemplary husband and father.
Maria herself guessed that the housekeeper’s son is also the child of her husband – an obvious external similarity made itself felt. Together with Schwarzenegger’s wife, Mildred’s husband, and after that the whole world, also learned about the extramarital affair. It was rumored that Arnold himself did not know for a long time that he was the father of another child.
While this scandal flared up more and more, Joseph, meanwhile, grew up with a keen and well-rounded nature. He studied well at school, was fond of sports, was engaged in charity work in parallel with his studies at a prestigious university. At Pepperdine University in Malibu, the young man studied business management. He was a sports star, taking part in student festivals and physical competitions.
According to some reports, Arnold Schwarzenegger, perhaps, would not agree to accept the fact of his paternity, if not for the decisive pressure of his legal wife. Subsequently, the actor took good care of his former mistress and their common child: in 2010 he gave them a house in Bakersfield, California, helped with finances, and presented expensive gifts. Recently, Arnold and Joseph have been in an excellent relationship, full of mutual understanding. The former governor of California is in all likelihood proud of his youngest son.
Maria and Arnold divorced only 6 years after the official separation. The process became a painful test for both “Terminator” and Shriver, and for all five children. However, despite all the difficulties, the former spouses remained on good terms and still support each other.

According to foreign media reports, young people began their romance in 2017.
