Maria Shriver finally broke the silence of her “brutal” divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger who left her “scared”.
The 69-year-old author detailed the end of his marriage with The Terminator Actor in his new book, I Am Maria.
Maria wrote that she was the heart bridge in 2011 after Arnold admitted to having the father of a love child with their housekeeper, Mildred Baena.
“It broke my heart, it broke my spirit, it broke what was left of me,” she wrote.
“Without my marriage, my parents blew, a job dam of my lifelong capital-D denial just apart,” added the former first lady in California, referring to her late mother and father, Eunice and Sargent Shriver.
“Now a lot has been written about the end of my marriage, and frankly I don’t want to need or want to discuss this or anywhere,” she continued.
Mary added that she was “devoured by grief and wrapped with confusion, anger, fear, sadness and anxiety.”
“Honestly, it was brutal and I was scared,” Mary wrote in her new book.
For those who are not daring, Maria and Arnold ended their divorce in December 2021, almost a decade after filing the papers.
The Exern has four children together – Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, 35, Christina Schwarzenegger, 33, Patrick Schwarzenegger, 31, and Christopher Schwarzenegger, 27.
