Details continue to unravel ever since actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed that he fathered a love child with a former household staff member yesterday.
The staffer has reportedly been identified as Mildred Patricia "Patty" Baena, a housekeeper and assistant who worked for Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, for 20 years before resigning in January. The exact identity of the child still remains under wraps, but new details emerged when TMZ got their hands on a copy of his birth certificate.
The certificate, which blacks out the boy's first and middle name, reveals that he was born on October 2, 1997 just five days after Schwarzenegger and Shriver welcomed their fourth child, Christopher Sargent Shriver Schwarzenegger, to the family. Which means his mistress and his wife were both pregnant at the exact same time with his children.
In case that mental image isn't enough, while Shriver was puttering around their house pregnant with Schwarzenegger's baby, their housekeeper was puttering around their house, cleaning and also pregnant with his baby. You can't make this stuff up.
The boy, who is now 13, was born in Burbank, CA to Baena, who lists her last name as "Pena" in the certificate. She also named the father as Rogelio D.J. Baena, who was her husband at the time. Patty's place of birth is Guatemala, while her ex-husband's is Columbia.
Schwarzenegger and his wife of 25 years, Shriver, shocked the public when they announced they were separating a week ago. On Monday (May 16), Schwarzenegger released a statement admitting to his wrongdoing and apologizing to his family. Shriver has since broken her silence, calling it a "painful and heartbreaking time" and asking for privacy. His 17-year-old son with Shriver, Patrick, spoke out via Twitter writing, "Some days you feel like sh*t, some days you want to quit and just be normal for a bit, yet I love my family till death do us apart."
