Thread: Arnold and Maria separate

He used her to climb to his political position...she is no longer needed. I am completely talking out of my ass as usual so disregard.

well hes seen his better days so like most women she is done with him.

she will say that she stayed with him all those years because of the 4 kids,bla bla bla heard it a million times

This happens all the time in hollywood, it's a trend but Arnold broke the record for lasting so long,

That's really just too bad!

Maybe now, she can handle the remote control...

I was shocked to hear it, but not surprised. Not may high profile, well heck, most marriages, last anymore. Only to discover that the grass in not any greener on the other side

On the other hand.....who cares?

Typical Hollyweird types. He used her for the name recognition, she used him to be in the political spotlight. They used each other now they are splitting. Trying to keep a nice face on this tells me they have been on the outs for a while.

Just wondering who has someone else waiting in the wings.

Wonder if OP is sad to see his mythical hero go through this tough time.

HA HA. For such a ladiesman, its amazing he married someone so ugly.

As Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver announce their separation, here are top ten bits of trivia about the Austrian bodybuilder-turned-politician.

1. His middle name is Alois.

2. He first picked up a barbell at the age of 13 and chose bodybuilding as a career at the age of 14. He was so dedicated that he would break into his local gym at the weekend, when it was closed, in order to train.

3. During a year of national service in the Austrian army he went AWOL during basic training in order to attend a bodybuilding competition. He spent a week in an army jail.

4. In 1966 he came second in the Mr Universe competition to Chester Yorton.

5. He learned English in London’s East End while staying with his coach, Charles Bennett, in Forest Gate.

6. He moved to the United States at the age of 21 but Siskind and Susser, a firm of immigration lawyers, have claimed that he may have violated his visa and been an illegal immigrant.

7. In his early years in the United States, he had a relationship with Barbara Outland, an English teacher.

8. His first film appearance was as Hercules in the 1970 movie Hercules in New York. He was credited as “Arnold Strong”.

9. He had a brief career as a director, taking the helm for a 1990 television episode of Tales from the Crypt and then for the 1992 television movie Christmas in Connecticut.

10. In March, he revealed he is being courted for 15 films, including another installment of the Terminator franchise.

If I didn't know she was a Kennedy then I woulda wondered why the Hell Arnold ended up with her. She is the most ass ugly woman in California. Arnold coulda had about any woman he wanted and just accidentally ended up with a hideous looking woman that is part of one of the most powerful families in US history. Coincidence. I think not.

^did you really just now make this connection?

Arnold is nothing if not calculating, however Maria was much curvier when they courted.



Fwiw I wouldn't call Maria ugly. Age does do a number on us all, though.

This is Maria's mother, Eunice Kennedy as a young woman...



and later in life.

Remember this from "Education of a Bodybuilder".

That was the 1965 Jr. Mr. Europe. He won that event.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver split

By Alan Duke, CNN
UPDATED: 02:33 PM EDT 05.10.11

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver announced Monday that they are "amicably separating," but there was no mention of divorce in their joint statement.

Confirmation of their split came just two weeks after the 25th anniversary of their marriage and four months after Schwarzenegger left the California governor's office.

"This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us," their statement said.

"After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion, and prayer, we came to this decision together."

The statement did not reveal when the separation began, but Shriver, 55, was not wearing her wedding band in a video posted on YouTube two weeks ago.

"At this time, we are living apart, while we work on the future of our relationship," they said.

The marriage of Schwarzenegger, a bodybuilder-turned-actor, and Shriver, the niece of President John F. Kennedy, was considered an unlikely union, especially considering Shriver's deep Democratic roots and Schwarzenegger's Republican leanings.

They became one of America's most famous couples. He was one of Hollywood's highest paid actors and she was a network news anchor. They both gave up those careers when he was elected governor of California in 2003, a job he held until this past January.

Schwarzenegger, 63, has been busy in recent months reviving his acting career, signing movies deals -- including another installment of his "Terminator" series.

The couple's children are ages 14, 18, 20 and 21. "We are continuing to parent our four children together," they said. "They are the light and the center of both of our lives."

The statement did not say which one of them moved out of the Brentwood, California mansion where the family has resided.

"We consider this a private matter, and neither we nor any of our friends or family will have further comment," the statement said. "We ask for compassion and respect from the media and the public."

From CNN.com

I say Arnie is out of the mansion. Their youngest is only 14 and I'd guess will be sharing the home with mom and whoever else is still in the nest. All of them?

I'll bet Arnold would like to forget that he ever was involved in "Hercules in New York". Probably one of worst movies ever made.

This reminds of something my grandfather said' "If you want to know what you will end up with, look at the mother".

^ lol

Looks aren't everything, right?

LOL. Thank you for making me feel old. I remember sitting in the kitchen as a little boy and that was on the radio.

And I do agree. The gal I married is probably the least good looking of the ones I went out with. She is pretty, not stellar hot beautiful to others. To me she is. She was the best decision I ever made.

Of course, if I tell her to go make me a sammich, she tells me to go do it myself. See what 20 years of marriage does?

heh I'll be 49 in August. Don't recall that song on the radio, but working in an elementary school I do feel absolutely ancient most of the time. lol

There are pre-schoolers who are three years old. Born in 2008? Are you serious? Many of them will still be around in 2078, some 2088, and a few will make it to 2100.

Born in 1962, I'd like to see 2042 in one piece, moving easily, and with my mind still in working order.

Ooooh. 2042? Wtf. It's 2011.

2042 - 2011 = 31 years

That's just not enough time.

Congratulations and Happy Anniversary, dogsoldier!

I have to laugh with the mere issues of politics, but again...fakes all around!

Anyhow, the marriage issue: It wasn't working for them, and if not happy together, then it is best to leave for different or solid ground. (sorry, I love Arnold's past with bbing, but she wasn't my interest...except with him, and their children)

Curt,

who is the guy that is pointing to Arnold in that photo you submitted? IS that Chester?

Fine as Hell!

it kinda sucks, i thought they looked pretty good together

He probably wanted to go back on, she said no her liberal freind Joe Biden wouldn't approve, so he said; "I'm leaving, I'm tired of being a skinny and weak politician...oh and BTW fuck that asshole Joe Biden".

Arnold is great, but imo I think he married into the name or her back round...

On another note, Maria is not a bad lookin woman...I'd hit it hands down...

Yup. The one and only Chet Yorton. He claims lifetime 100% natural status and is apparently still going strong.





Both vids from 2009. Yorton was born in 1940.
