Arnold Schwarzenegger's Son Never Knew Governor Was His Dad

Arnold Schwarzenegger's Son Never Knew Governor Was His Dad
The star's son has most likely learned who his father is after being kept in the dark for 13 years.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child was never told who his real father was, and although those close to the boy's mother, Mildred "Patty" Baena, assume he must know his dad's real identity by now, no one has confirmed how (or if) Mildred broke the news.

Even if Arnold's former maid and mistress decided to keep her son's biological father a mystery, one would suspect that unless the 13-year-old had zero contact with the media and those outside his immediate family, he now knows all about Arnold and the affair that led to his birth. Why Powerful Men Cheat

The child most likely at least has a decent relationship with The Terminator. The action star himself didn't learn about his secret child until his son was a toddler. However, once he learned that the boy, who was born a mere five days apart from his son Christoper, was indeed his own flesh and blood, he made sure to give Mildred's son plenty of presents. Sources close to Baena told The New York Post that the ex-governor "showered (his son) with gifts and put a down payment on his family home." To the child's knowledge, a man named Alex Aguiar (Mildred's boyfriend) was his dad.

And Arnold's love child isn't the only one who has been left in the dark about his true lineage. Even Mildred's sister, Miriam Pena, did not know about the actor's love affair with Patty. Perhaps most surprising, Miriam and the rest of her family aren't siding with Mildred. Rather, they sympathize with Maria and are ashamed of Mildred's actions, especially since other members of the family have worked for the Schwarzeneggers and were always treated kindly at least by Maria. Famous Love Children And Their Celebrity Parents

"Maria would always make sure to help us, even with little things, gifts, Christmas stuff, things like that, and now we end up making her go through this crap because of Patty. It's not cool," the family source said. "The family is not happy with Patty right now because she never told us or warned us and now we have to deal with all this attention."

While Mildred's family seem to only have nice things to say about Maria, The London Sun recently reported that their bodybuilder employer was interested having a "friendlier" relationship with the entire family.

"He would touch all their backsides while they were doing the housework," said a source. "He flirted with all of them, even the mother."
