Maria Shriver Opens Up About Life After ‘Brutal’ Divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Importance of Residuals

Maria Shriver, 69, has gained profound insights into love post-divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger, 77, her husband for 25 years before their split. In a recent episode of the “Jamie Kern Lima Show,” she described herself as a “frustrated matchmaker,” still open to love but yet to find it again. Reflecting on their tumultuous breakup, Shriver emphasized her belief in love and relationships. Their marriage concluded following Schwarzenegger’s admission of fathering a son, Joseph Baena, with the family’s ex-housekeeper in 1997, leading to Shriver’s filing for divorce in 2011. Though her children jokingly suggest dating apps, she emphatically declines, expressing satisfaction in her independence. Shriver's memoir, “I Am Maria,” candidly explores the painful aftermath of their union, while Schwarzenegger has acknowledged his past mistakes openly.
