Arnold Schwarzenegger's former housekeeper has broken her silence on her affair with the actor that led to the breakdown of his marriage with wife Maria Shriver. Mildred Baena, who is also the mother of Schwarzenegger's lovechild, says Shriver cried with her after confronting her and discovering the truth. The 50-year-old talked about the moment Shriver discovered the sordid secret that she had kept for almost 14 years in an interview with Hello magazine. "Maria did ask me directly if Joseph was Arnold's son and I just broke down. I dropped to my knees and I was crying, saying that, yes, he was and I was so sorry," Guatemala-born Baena said. "She was so strong. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees. We held each other and I told her it wasn't Arnold's fault, that it takes two. That is what I admired about her, her strength and the way she handled it," the former housekeeper added. Baena, however, denied that she had a lengthy affair with the former California governor, saying the actor learned about his lovechild only recently. She believes suspicions were raised when she brought the 13-year-old over to the Schwarzenegger's home last summer after a long absence. The physical similarities between the youngster and his biological father had become too obvious to ignore, and Baena believes that Shriver decided to confront her after hearing whispers in the house. The housekeeper, who worked for the family for 20 years, says Shriver, 55, did question her indirectly on the topic before finally confronting her late last year. "She would say things like, 'I'm here if you want to talk.' She would ask if I needed to talk to her and I kept saying no. Finally, she asked point blank." Baena revealed that Shriver even asked her to remain with the family until after the holidays, despite her offer to leave immediately.
