Legendary bodybuilder and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and American royalty Maria Shriver share four children. The two have managed to raise their kids to be considerate and responsible adults despite their broken marriage. However, a phase in their eldest son Patrick Schwarzenegger’s life was a matter of concern for mom Shriver.
