Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have finally concluded their long-drawn-out divorce. But, how many children do they have?
TMZ has reported that the divorce was concluded on Tuesday, December 28, in an L.A. Superior Court and was mediated by a private judge.
Arnold and Maria’s marriage was shaken a decade ago when reports revealed that the former California Governor and movie star had fathered a child with the family’s housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena.
The child, Joseph Baena, is now a college grad who is into bodybuilding, just like his father.
Joseph’s Instagram shows he is a spitting image of his dad and shares a loving relationship with him.
Who are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver’s children?
The Terminator star is a father of five children, four of whom he shares with ex-wife Maria Shriver.
The pair tied the knot in 1986 and remained married until 2011 when Maria filed for divorce.
Arnold and Maria welcomed their firstborn, Katherine Schwarzenegger (now 32), in 1989. Their second-born is Christina Schwarzenegger (now 30), who was born in 1991.
The pair also shares two sons, Patrick Schwarzenegger (now 28) and Christopher Schwarzenegger (now 24).
Katherine, who is now married to actor Chris Pratt, is an author by profession. Christina, on the other hand, is a producer known for Take Your Pills (2018), The Doctors (2008) and more.
Patrick is a model and entrepreneur while Christopher is a fresh college grad.

TMZ previously reported that the couple’s divorce had dragged on for 10 years as they were still deciding on how to split their $400 million combined net worth.
Has Arnold commented on his divorce?
Arnold’s affair came to light the day after his stint as the California governor ended in 2011. Several online reports confirm that it was revealed during a therapy session.
The ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ host confirmed that he had fathered a son with their housekeeper Mildred Baena. Joseph was 14 at the time.
Maria filed for divorce shortly after the revelation.
Speaking about the situation in his 2015 interview with Howard Stern, the actor said, “I had personal setbacks, but this was, without any doubt, the biggest setback and the biggest failure. Without any doubt.
“Not only failure, but you feel like, ‘I’m to blame for it. It was me that screwed up.’ And you can’t point the finger at anyone else. So yeah, I was disappointed in it. It’s always easy to be smart in hindsight. The thing was how do you make the best of that situation?”
Despite their long-drawn divorce, Arnold, 74, has been able to maintain a friendship with his 66-year-old ex-wife Maria. They are often pictured together with their children.
