The dynamic bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger has long struggled with his muddled love life. The media frequently speculates about Arnold’s personal life, much like his renowned work in movies. However, since the news of his divorce shocked the world, everyone was curious about the reason behind it.
 

In 2011, his wife, Maria Shriver, a journalist, parted ways with him. Reportedly, the reason was his long-standing affair with their housemaid Mildred Baena. However, before the revelation of this scandal, there were other issues in the couple’s life. 

Maria’s obsession with annoying Arnold Schwarzenegger

The Vanity Fair’s interviewers reached the couple in 2005 for insight into California’s governor and first ladies’ life. Maria used sharp words to describe her struggles during the interview with the interviewer. In addition, Shriver highlighted influential novels she has read and revisited, such as Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s Gift from the Sea, which venerates self-identity.

Meanwhile, Shriver added a few words about her nun teacher Benedictine. She quoted the line, “That the worst things in her life turned out to be the best things.” In addition, the interviewer also learned that Shriver swirls with ideas and queries by telling her husband what’s written in the book until late at night. According to Arnold, “It is unbelievable. I have to say to her, ‘Maria, please, I need some sleep.’”

Shriver’s obsession with books is due to her profession as a journalist. Her interest in journalism started while she was working as a volunteer for her father’s campaign in 1972. Since that time, the ex-wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger has worked with various big media organizations like NBC News, CBS, and KYW-TV in her portfolio. However, she spent many years away from journalism after becoming the first lady of California. But as she split up with Schwarzenegger in 2011, it led her back to journalism passion.
