Unearthed Image Shows Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Ex-Wife Maria Shriver With American Hero Michael Phelps in an Unusual Look for a Special Purpose

When it comes to sports, the names Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Phelps need no formal introduction. Coming from two diverse fields, their indomitable spirit of never giving up unites the two legends. Having faced multiple setbacks, Phelps and Arnold have reached glory that only a few have attained before. Whether Phelps’ 28 Olympic medals or Arnie’s 8 Mr. Olympia wins, the titles the two men have earned for themselves are countless.

When voicing their opinions, Arnold and Phelps never take a step back. Though the duo has never formally met, there was a special event where fans saw Arnold’s ex-wife Maria and the swimming GOAT share the stage.

Arnold’s wife and Phelps come together for a special cause

In a throwback, a 2016 picture that Maria shared over her official Twitter handle shows Maria posing with Michael Phelps, Rafer Johnson, and Michelle Kwan on a Special Olympics eve. Sharing the special moments with fans, Maria posted a sweet picture where all the four can be seen smiling for the camera.

Praising Michael for his works, Maria captioned the picture as “shout out to @MichaelPhelps–a champion in the pool & on the field w/ @specialOlympics even when no one was watching”

However, this is not the first time Maria praised the swimming legend. When Phelps opened up about his mental health struggles, Maria showered praises for Phelps for opening up. Taking it to Twitter, she wrote, “Bravo to #ArchitectofChange Michael Phelps.”

She shares how people who open up about their struggles feel less shame about this. Sharing her feeling, she says, as follows:

They might come from different fields, but their struggles, determination, and passion for excelling united them. But it’s not just the struggles that Arnold and Phelps can connect with. There’s something more!

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s and Michael Phelps’ love for the sandwich

The two legends share a love for sandwiches. Filled with calories, Arnie’s “Monster Sandwich” and Phelps’ ham and cheese sandwiches are good enough for getting all the healthy fat. As Arnie says, “Enough to pop up your biceps.”

To stay fit, athletes have to consume a lot of calories. They need to keep a strict diet in addition to frequent practice sessions. Much like Arnold Schwarzenegger, swimming GOAT Michael Phelps had to ingest an absurd amount of calories to stay in shape.
