Los Angeles - On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported that former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, 63, (R) admitted to confessing to his wife Maria Shriver, 55, of having a child with a household staffer. The staffer had worked for the couple for about 20 years and retired in January, according to the LA Times.
The housestaffer was identified as Mildred Patricia Baena, 50, alias "Patty" of Calabasas, California by Radaronline dot com. Baena is Hispanic, according to My Space. Schwarzenegger had hid the secret for over 10 years from his wife and four children.
Apparently, Baena had unprotected sex with Schwarzenegger during the day while she worked as a housestaffer and Shriver was not at home. She became pregnant and didn't tell Schwarzenegger about it until the child was older. At first, he thought the child was someone else's, Baena finally told Schwarzenegger that he was the father. Baena continued to work for Schwarzenegger so she could get her pension when she retired. Shriver never suspected they continued to have a sexual relationship at her residence. No information was released about when both Baena and Schwarzenegger stopped the relationship.
She continues to get some financial support for the child from Schwarzenegger. Baena currently is not financially well off and is struggling to meet financial needs, according to Radaronline and other sources.
Most likely, Baena will seek more paternity child support from Schwarzenegger who is worth millions, since the sexual affair that resulted with a child has been made public. She could end up selling her side of the story to publications, syndicated talk shows or national media outlets.
In California, both Schwarzenegger and Shriver will likely end up in a divorce. When couples divorce in most states it's a 50/50 split of property and what was generated through the marriage under state law.
An article by Gawker dot com reported, that another affair was first exposed by the London Daily Mail in 2003. The London Daily Mail article by Wendy Leigh reported then that Tammy Tousignant in her 20's when she first began to work as a stewardess on Schwarzenegger's private jet was having an affair with him. Tammy admitted she had worked for Schwarzenegger for 11 years as of October 2003, but denied having an affair with Schwarzenegger. She previously gave birth to Tanner Tousignant who graduated from Brea Olinda High School in 2010. Tanner, 19, denied he was Schwarzenegger's son to Gawker when recently reached through Facebook.
Tammy now 38, had previously denied the affair with Schwarzenegger, but had admitted to friends that indeed Schwarzenegger was the father, according to Gawker. Both Tanner and his mother live in Brea, California.
Gawker reported that the LA Times had withheld the story about the affair since 2003, until this week when Schwarzenegger finally admitted he was Tanner's father. Tammy's lawyer says, DNA indicates he is not the father.
When the housestaffer was approached by the LA Times recently informing her that Schwarzenegger had admitted he fathered her, Baena would not comment.
The revelation to Shriver that Schwarzenegger had fathered another child after he left office as governor, led to last week Monday's announcement of their separation. Shriver moved out from their Brentwood home before the separation was announced and had been married to Schwarzenegger for 25 years.
Emerging details by CNN dot com:

Schwarzenegger's son with former housestaffer Baena was born on October 2, 1997, less than a week after Shriver gave birth to the couple's child Christopher who is now 13.
Baena got divorced three weeks after giving birth. In the birth certificate she put her former husband as the father of the child born in 1997. In filing for a separation, she checked the box that the child in the marriage was not his.
Baena is of Guatemalan descent and currently lives in Bakersfield, California in a four bedroom home that Schwarzenegger bought for her. In her My Space profile account it shows she lives in Calabasas, California and that she is Hispanic.
