Actor, retired professional bodybuilder, and former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is no new to the controversy surrounding his romantic relationships. His 25-year marriage to Maria Shriver has been plagued by several rumors of adultery. The bombshell revelation that Schwarzenegger had an extramarital child with Mildred Baena, a former housekeeper, has damaged his public image and led to the breakdown of his marriage to Maria Shriver.
Maria Shriver was not the only woman affected by Schwarzenegger’s infidelity. Brigitte Nielsen, an actress with unmistakable charisma and breathtaking beauty, is another example of this. During the production of the movie “Red Sonja,” an intense relationship developed between the stars of The Terminator and Cobra.
However, Nielsen was devastated by their connection when she learned about Schwarzenegger’s significant commitments to Shriver.
In an interview, while promoting his new Netflix series, “FUBAR,” Schwarzenegger couldn’t help but draw parallels between his on-screen character, a divorced CIA operative he plays, and his real-life situation. Arnold and Shriver tied the knot on 26th April 1986 after meeting in 1977. They had four children together: Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher.
After Schwarzenegger’s term as California governor ended, Shriver filed for divorce from Arnold in July 2011, after he admitted to fathering Joseph Baena with their longtime housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena. After extensive property settlement negotiations that exacerbated the formal separation and mediation by a private court, their divorce was not finalized until December 2021.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s cheating scandal with Brigitte Nielsen
Brigitte Nielsen still cherishes her time spent with Arnold Schwarzenegger, despite the upheaval in his personal life. They fell in love right away when “Red Sonja” was being filmed in 1985, and they started a passionate relationship knowing it would only last for the duration of the movie.
Nielsen considers the depth of their connection, emphasizing that there were no limitations or commitments, allowing them to fully enjoy every facet of their union. Schwarzenegger’s Beverly Hills Cop II co-star revealed some of his earlier demeanor and even said how he declared his ambition to lead California.
Nielsen showed her complete faith in him. The Commando actor revealed his romantic side to Nielsen throughout their relationship by making a kind gesture just before she was set to board a flight for Christmas.

When Nielsen discovered that Schwarzenegger had a significant relationship with Maria Shriver, her world tragically came crumbling down. She was surprised by the information, which left her feeling betrayed and deceived. Nielsen acknowledges that she might not have continued their relationship if Schwarzenegger had been open about his devotion to Shriver.
In his recently released memoir, “Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story,” Schwarzenegger admitted to having a “hot affair” with the actress and former model. According to the Associated Press, the actor stated that he knew the affair with Nielsen would not endure and that it really made him realize that he wanted to marry Shriver.

“How serious it was…I don’t know,” Nielsen told the Mail. “He never spoke about her, and the way he was living his life with me, I felt I was the only one.” Then I realized about him and Maria and, wow, I felt cheated.” “Maybe I wouldn’t have got into it if he said, ‘I’m going to marry Maria and this is dead serious.’ But he didn’t, and our affair carried on,” the Danish Diva said.
