Celebrity Couples Who Called It Quits After 20-Plus Years Together
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver
Before he became the governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger had a very successful career as an action hero and Hollywood superstar. Soon he became the butt of every joke on late-night television in 2011 when the world found out about his affair and subsequent secret-love child with the family maid. Wife Maria Shriver, who dutifully stood by her husband’s side for 25 years, had enough and filed for divorce. Rumors of a reconciliation quickly surfaced as it was learned the former California governor and Shriver attended couples therapy. In an interview, Schwarzenegger said he was hopeful about reuniting with Shriver: “I’m the forever optimist. So I do see that Maria and I get together eventually.”
