Arnie's relationship with ex-wife Maria Shiver is for life

Arnold Schwarzenegger believes his story with Maria Shriver will continue "forever".

The 76-year-old actor and Maria, 67, finalised their divorce back in 2021 - but Schwarzenegger insists that she'll always be a big part of his life.

In his new motivational book, 'Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life', Schwarzenegger shares: "We never left the [first] chapter. Because remember, it’s not like we had a feud. We didn’t have a fight. It’s just my f*** up, right?

"She said, 'Okay, this is what it is,' and then she decided to make a split, so it was her decision. But the fact is, we always made it very clear that the kids should not suffer because of that."

The Hollywood star and Maria split after it emerged that Schwarzenegger fathered a son with Mildred Baena, the family's long-time housekeeper.

However, the former couple - who have Katherine, 33, Christina, 32, Patrick, 30, and Christopher, 26, together - have continued to spend a lot of time together since then.
