7X Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger Once Disclosed Whether Ex-wife Maria Shriver Is Also a Fitness Freak Like Him or Not

There is no hiding the passion that Arnold Schwarzenegger holds for staying fit. A fitness freak, it won’t be surprising to spot him cycling down the town to hit the gym. With seven Mr. Olympia titles, while the yesteryear bodybuilding icon has already established his dominance in the fitness world, what about his family? In an archived interview, the Terminator star revealed how diligently his ex-wife Maria took health into serious consideration.

In the 90s, when Arnold sat for a talk with American comedian Arsenio Hall in the famous The Arsenio Hall Show, the latter had much to share. From discussing his upcoming film Total Recall (1990) to sharing tidbits on his ex-wife’s exercise routine, the bodybuilding giant had a lot to say.

Arnold Schwarzenegger went candid

Known for his charming personality and outspoken self, the former Governor of California does not sigh away from speaking his heart out. Thus, when Arsenio enquired, “Does Maria work out?” the father of five dived into details that can shock many.

Giving a little insight into his former wife’s family, Arnold revealed, “She comes from a very athletic family.“ For those unversed, Maria comes from the famous Kennedy-Shriver clan. Considered amongst the political elite, her family always advocated sports. Interestingly, Arnold and Maria met for the first time at a tennis event her family hosted.

Going candid, the Austrian Oak revealed how his family was passionate about sports. From tennis to water skiing, gymnastics, football, and baseball, Maria’s kin were enthusiastic about everything related to sports. Talking about her, he further added, “As a matter of fact, she drags me to the gym many times.” Needless to say, like the Austrian Oak, Maria too was careful about her health. Before calling it quits, the former power couple was married for 25 years.

Like her former husband, Maria knows to live life in style. 

There’s no hiding Arnold’s love to live life lavish and crazy. From owning a military tank to having a donkey as a pet, the Expendables star knows how to make a statement. But it’s not just him who loves to live life in style. Recently, Maria, a former journalist, spent nearly $12 million to expand her mansion by purchasing the neighboring house.

Owned previously by Peterson Publishing Company’s former president, the property, as per the records, was built in 1947. The lavish mansion has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Nestled in a locality that houses other celebrities like Arianna Huffington, Dana Walden, and others, Maria now owns property in one of the most famous streets of Brentwood.
