The mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s illegitimate child has revealed as retired housekeeper Mildred Baena, RadarOnline is reporting. The 50-year-old housekeeper worked for the former California governor and his family for more than two decades. While Baena has been named as the mother, the identity of her child, who is now 14-years-old, has not been revealed.

Baena’s identity was revealed the same day Schwarzenegger announced that he had fathered the child several years before he became governor in 2003. While his estranged wife, former broadcast journalist Maria Shriver, didn’t immediately comment on her husband’s confirmation, she later released a statement, calling the admission painful and heartbreaking. She added that “as a mother my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal.”

While Schwarzenegger wealth is said to be over $800 million, and has reportedly been secretly been providing child support for Baena, she is still struggling financially. There is reportedly a lie taken out against her by a security company.
