June 05, 2026

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver had one of the strongest marriages. They were together for 25 years and raised four kids.
Arnold realized that he had made his biggest mistake in life after his marriage broke up.
Arnold and Maria divorced only ten years after separation.
Their daughter, Katherine, shared how they do everything for their kids despite the divorce.
Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger had one of the most desirable marriages in Hollywood. Yet it failed to last, and after 25 years together, the couple decided to call it quits on their union.
While the couple was still married, they welcomed four children; Katherine, Patrick, Christina, and Christopher. Schwarzenegger also has another child named Joseph with another woman. The children are all adults now.

Recently, Shriver and Schwarzenegger's eldest daughter, Katherine, shared photos of Halloweens gone by on her Instagram. She shared a series of four images which all showed her and her siblings dressed up as different things for Halloween.
Twenty-five years after Shriver and Schwarzenegger tied the knot, they announced they were amicably divorcing. It shocked the world, but the following news rocked Schwarzenegger fans.

Schwarzenegger and Shriver were 63 and 55 when news broke that Schwarzenegger had fathered another woman's child. Before the divorce, Shriver was made aware that Schwarzenegger had fathered one of their longtime household staff's baby a decade before.
The news shocked many, and after it came out, Schwarzenegger relayed his regret for his actions. He mentioned that he asked his wife for her forgiveness and wanted privacy during that time. He said:
"There are no excuses, and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children, and my family. I am truly sorry."

It was also revealed that the "Terminator" alum had been financially providing for his illegitimate child and had known it was his child for many years. Shriver had no comment when the news broke.
Schwarzenegger often talked about how bad he felt about breaking up his family and how he had hurt the people he loved. He also acknowledged the impact it had on his illegitimate son, Joseph.

Talking about his actions and what they did to his family unit, Schwarzenegger berated himself, saying:
"It was terrible. I inflicted tremendous pain on Maria and unbelievable pain on the kids."

After the couple announced their separation, Schwarzenegger admitted that he still hoped he and Shriver would reconcile. A reconciliation was not forthcoming, though, as their divorce was later finalized.
Ten years after Shriver and Schwarzenegger separated, they finalized their divorce in December 2021. Yet they have kept their family united throughout these difficult years.
Talking about how their family stays together and shows up for one another, Katherine said:
"Just because my parents aren't necessarily together doesn't mean anything or affect our family in any kind of way."
The family still spends special occasions, such as birthdays, together, and the Schwarzenegger children often share posts on their social media pages showing the whole family spending time together.
The ex-couple meets each time their children have a birthday, but it is not only the children who are celebrated as a family. One post by Patrick showed the family gathered around Schwarzenegger on his birthday.
Shriver stood next to her ex-husband, smiling as he held his birthday cake, and their children were gathered behind them. Other posts have
