Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver have announced they are separating after 25 years of marriage.
In a shock announcement the couple, who have four children together, released a joint statement saying they were living apart while they 'worked on the future' of their marriage.
Shriver helped bolster Schwarzenegger's campaign eight years ago to become California Governor.
She stood by the Terminator actor at the time amid claims he groped a string of women during his movie career.
The Los Angeles Times broke the story late on Monday night saying that Shriver is 'moving out of their Brentwood mansion while the two determine the next step in their 25-year marriage'.
The newspaper said Shriver has been living apart from the Terminator actor-turned-politician for the last few weeks.
The former First Couple confirmed their separation in a joint statement released on Monday night after questions were raised by The Times.
'This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us, the statement read.
'After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion and prayer, we came to this decision together.
'At this time, we are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship.'

He’s probably become too liberal for her.

I guess Arnie used up all he needed from her political family and nhad to move on. Especially since Ted is dead.
Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do they even bother issuing statements. They are all just full of lies.
Ahnold wasn’t fit to be a kennedy.
we'll be bok
If SHE left the family home, he probably cheated on her IN it.
I do not like either of these creatures and I feel very sorry for the kids.
The Kennedy Family get togethers just weren't as fun without the Swimmer around anymore.
"Consider it a divorce."
He’s used up his useful idiot status. You deserve it.
Guesses:
1) He's going to leave politics and is no more use to her
2) He's going to run for President (since Obama is not an NBC, why should the Governator hold back?) and she's dying of embarrassment.
Cheers!
3) They have keeping up appearances for political purposes, which leads to #1)
No power no attraction... simple as that.
John Conner: “They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel remorse or pity, they will not stop until your finances are DEAD.
This is sad...maybe if he hadn’t gotten involved in the cesspool of political life it never would have happened.
LOL!
Good one.
Very sad when a marriage ends.
Cast away spouses. Very sad.
There is no sadness in their marriage ending. I’m sure they are both celebrating.
What is sad is when you lose a spouse as a result of illness.
I disagree.
I also disagree.
LOL. I remember when T3 came out and in the movie when Arnold as a Terminator arrives from the future and they had digitally placed his current face on a massively computer enhanced naked body that looked like him when he was 25 years old.
And Arnold was trying to claim in the interviews it was his real body and hadn’t been altered in anyway with technology.
That NOW picture came out soon after T3 and the National Equirer called him the “Tummynator”.
So the fag finally come out of the closet
There must be another woman in the picture.
Maria is a devout Catholic, and would not separate for a frivolous reason.
It’s a shame what fame does to a family.
Most lib ‘devout’ Catholics are not so devout.
Peloski, That Guy Who Served in Vietnam, and the Kennedy’s are all examples.
Conservative Catholics tend to be more devout. Hannity, Laura Ingram, and Justice Thomas are examples.
I figure that Maria has been in charge for some time. She/they have finished the destruction of California so what is there left to do? I am very sorry to see a ‘long term’ marriage end. I hope their kids are strong enough to withstand the unhappiness.
Greenpeace stopped attending their family events..
well, i think it’s sad...
Losing a spouse is sad pretty no matter how it happens. They don't have to actually get sick and die. It still hurts.
pretty ~much~ no matter how it happens... I meant to say.
Does Arnold get to have his balls back?
I can't argue with that. I have seen the results of divorce, and it isn't very pretty. I understand where you are coming from.
He can pretty much do whatever he wants with the stuff in the freezer now that she has moved out.
I agree. There’s nothing to celebrate here.
***What is sad is when you lose a spouse as a result of illness****
He’s no longer a Kennedy. The media love affair will soon wane.

I don’t feel a bit sorry for either of them,both in the Kennedy ultra-liberal clan. Ahhnold can claim to be conservative,yeah right. LOLOLLOLLLOLLLLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yes,I am that petty when it comes to the ultra-liberal,left wingers that are destroying our country.
I never looked even close to that good that young, but now I don’t feel so bad about how I look today, and I am 9 years up on him.
Boo-fricken’-hoo. This couple were instrumental in running CA deeper into it financial disaster, he pardoned a known murderer for a political buddy (a democrat), raised all taxes in CA, created the Central Valley dust bowl, are firm Global warmers and so much more.
With out her, his hope for a job working for nObama is out. Without him she becomes a Democrat power similar to Hillary after the Billy-blob blue-dress-mess.
wow... she almost looks like she has a mustache she has to shave
I expected this to happen as soon as she stopped doing drugs.
Hardly....he has no power now and that’s why she left. She is a PIG.
