The alleged mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's
lovechild has been named by a U.S. website.
Mildred Baena, 50, is said to have fallen pregnant
with her son, who is now aged around 14, while
working for the former California governor and his
wife as a housekeeper.

A joint investigation by RadarOnline and Star
magazine in the U.S. led to the naming of the
woman.

'She is the one,' a source told the website.

Photos posted online by Baena, known as Patty,
show her and a young boy.

She claims on a social networking site to be
'single' and 'dating or searching for a serious
relationship'. Baena also describes herself as a
'proud parent'.

The New York Times did not name Baena, but reports
that she was pregnant with her son at the same
time Maria Shriver was expecting the youngest of
her four children, Christopher, who is 13.The two
women would have encountered one another daily,
with Baena working in the family home but living
elsewhere. Shriver was led to believe that the
child was fathered by Baena's then husband, from
whom she is now divorced.

Baena finally gave up her job in January after 20
years in their service. Her son is said to have
been an 'occasional presence' at the family's
home.

According to website TMZ she told friends they
would have unprotected sex during the day at
Schwarzenegger's house.

Baena made $1,200 a week according to the website
and 'was treated well by generous Schwarzenegger'
once he found out that he had fathered the boy,
who by then was a toddler.
She now lives in a 4-bedroom house with a pool,
several hours outside of LA with the boy and her
three other children.

Schwarzenegger told his wife about the child after
he left office in January - leading to the
couple's separation.

'This is a painful and heartbreaking time,'
Shriver said yesterday.

'As a mother, my concern is for the children. I
ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my
children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal.
I will have no further comment.'Shriver and the
Terminator star have four children together;
Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, Patrick, 17, and
Christopher, 13.

Patrick tweeted yesterday: '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. #family.'

He later changed his onscreen name to Patrick
Shriver, from Schwarzenegger. His 21-year-old
sister, Katherine Schwarzenegger, followed later
in the day.

'This is definitely not easy but I appreciate your
love and support as i begin to heal and move
forward in life,' she said. 'I will always love my
family!'

After finding out about the affair Shriver moved
out of the family home and into a hotel.She is
said to have been 'miserable' in her relationship
for several years but did not want to end her
marriage because of her strong Catholic beliefs.

Last night she appeared alongside Oprah Winfrey,
an old friend, as the chatshow host filmed her
final show.

Wearing a blue dress and with her hair styled in
waves, Shriver posed alongside Oprah in front of
the audience, smiling and laughing.

She came on stage at the United Center with
Winfrey's best friend, Gayle King.

Shriver told Winfrey that the talk show host has
'given me love, support, wisdom and most of all
the truth.' Making no mention of the latest
scandal surrounding her husband, she said she knew
she wasn't 'alone in receiving those
gifts.'Schwarzenegger broke news of the affair in
a statement to the LA Times earlier this week:
'After leaving the governor's office I told my
wife about this event, which occurred over a
decade ago.

'I understand and deserve the feelings of anger
and disappointment among my friends and family.

'There are no excuses and I take full
responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have
apologised to Maria, my children and my family. I
am truly sorry.

'I ask that the media respect my wife and children
through this extremely difficult time. While I
deserve your attention and criticism, my family
does not.'The LA Times said that when it
approached the mother of Schwarzenegger's
lovechild after his statement was released, she
declined to comment further.The woman, now thought
to be Baena, said she voluntarily left her
position with the couple 'on good terms'.

She said: 'I wanted to achieve my 20 years, then I
asked to retire.'

In a further revelation website TMZ claimed that
Schwarzenegger used his Santa Monica office for
meetings with a series of women, around five to
seven years ago.

The women would arrive in the early hours of the
morning, carrying manilla envelopes. After meeting
with Schwarzenegger for several hours they would
then leave.

The world was stunned earlier this month when
Schwarzenegger and Shriver announced they had
split after 25 years of marriage, with many
questioning the reasons behind the break-up.

They released a statement which read: 'This has
been a time of great personal and professional
transition for each of us.

Shriver then took to Twitter to thank her fans for
their support after announcing the split, writing:
'Thank you all for the kindness, support and
compassion. I am humbled by the love. Thank you.'

And, at an appearance last week at the Los
Angeles' Skirball Cultural Center, Schwarzenegger
suggested there was a chance of reconciliation.

He said: 'We both love each other very much. We
are very fortunate that we have four extraordinary
children and we're taking one day at a time.'

Earlier this week, an actress claimed she was just
one of many of his mistresses.

Schwarzenegger has long been plagued by
allegations of womanising and boorish behaviour
towards females.

His 2003 campaign for governor was rocked by the
'Gropegate' scandal - allegations from six women
who said he had groped them on movie sets, in
studio offices and in other settings over the past
three decades, without their consent.

Despite not wanting him to go into politics
Shriver stood by her husband, describing his
blanket apology to any women he offended as
'courageous.'

Her backing is widely thought to have helped
Schwarzenegger to election.

'I wouldn't be standing here if this man weren't
an A-plus human being. I wouldn't be taking my
time, I wouldn't have left my job that I love, I
wouldn't be doing any of this if I didn't believe
in this man,' she said in a speech to a Republican
women's group in Orange County in 2003.

She called him 'an extraordinary man', adding:
'He's honest, he's sensitive, he's sincere. And he
is gracious with every bone in his body.'

The couple married on April 26, 1986, in a lavish
ceremony in Hyannis, Massachusetts, near the
Kennedy family compound.
