Ex-Calif. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver announced they are "amicably separating," after 25 years of marriage.

In a joint statement released Monday night, the couple said they are living apart while "they decide on the future of their relationship."

"This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us. After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion, and prayer, we came to this decision together," the statement said.

Schwarzenegger and Shriver said they plan to continue to "parent their four children together."

"They are the light and the center of both of our lives," they said in the statement.

The couple married in 1986.

Both Schwarzenegger and Shriver said they consider this a private matter and plan to not release any further comment.

"We ask for compassion and respect from the media and the public," the statement said.

As someone who went through a divorce, I take no joy in this, regardless of political differences.

It is a sad event, especially for the kids, no matter what the reason.

They’ll be in my prayers.

Glad I’m not the only one to see the likeness with Skeletor. That’s what I call her all the time. My son always thought it was funny.

“Consider it a divorce”.

At least Maria Shriver is doing better after this announcement than Sharon Stone in “Total Recall”.

I’d hate to believe you’re right because I think he really loved her, but I agree that she and her family influenced him enough to turn him into a RINO.

That’s very sweet of you, dear Daisyjane69.
I’m sure their divorce will be a lot less painful than yours.

Guessing it has nothing to do with political views?

One day Maria Shriver-Schwarzenegger (say That fast ten times!) and a Duck go into this Bar and sit down.

The Bartender comes over and says, "I'm sorry but you'll have to leave, we don't serve Horses in here".

Maria looks at the Bartender somewhat puzzled and says, "That's not a Horse, it's a Duck."

The Bartender sys, "I was talking to the Duck". (Bada-Bing, rim-shot.)


[Thank you, thank you. I'll be appearing here until next Tuesday.]

Maria looks like she lives in a tanning bed. Frightening.

That would be her grandfather who had her aunt lobotomized. She’s Joe’s granddaughter.
