Yesterday we learned the shocking news that former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child out of wedlock years ago while married to current wife Maria Shriver. It was reported that Arnold fathered the child, a son, 10 years ago but it turns out that he only learned that he fathered the child 10 years ago because the mother kept the news a secret from him for the first few years of the boy’s life (ie. the boys about 14-16 now, not 10). Today, the identity of the mistress/illegitimate babymama has been revealed … click below to learn about the woman who bore Arnold‘s secret lovechild 14 years ago.

Mildred Patricia Baena is the woman with whom former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a son about 14 years ago, ABC News has learned. Known as Patty, she reportedly worked in the famliy home as a housekeeper and assistant for more than 20 years, until January. Amid the public speculation, Schwarzenegger’s wife and mother to four of his children, Maria Shriver, was in Chicago Tuesday at the star-studded tribute to Oprah Winfrey, which also featured appearances from Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Madonna, and ABC News’ Diane Sawyer. Wearing a glittering blue halter gown, the former first lady of California didn’t appear to show any evidence of her recent marital troubles as she paid tribute to her friend Winfrey. “For more than 30 years you have bestowed upon me the most amazing friendship. You have shown love, support, wisdom, and most of all, the truth …,” Shriver said, pausing for a moment after she uttered the phrase “the truth.” Winfrey responded by squeezing Shriver’s hand tight, and the audience erupted in applause. People magazine reported that the two dined together on Monday just before the news broke of Schwarzenegger’s love child. Since then a flood of information on the former California governor’s extra-marital affair has poured in, while the couple’s adult children have publicly reacted to the news. According to the New York Times, there was a period 14 years ago when Baena was working at the couple’s Brentwood mansion while pregnant with Schwarzenegger’s child … at the same time Shriver was also pregnant with Schwarzenegger’s son. Earlier today, two of Shriver and Schwarzenegger’s children took to the Internet with reaction to their dad’s admission that he fathered a child with one of their household staff members and hid the secret for years, shattering their 25-year marriage. “I love my family till death do us apart,” Patrick Arnold Schwarzenegger, 17, tweeted. He also quoted lyrics to a song by hip-hop group Fort Minor that read: “Some days you feel like shit … some days you want to quit and just be normal for a bit.” Pointedly, he recently changed his Twitter name to Patrick Shriver. His older sister Katherine Eunice Schwarzenegger, 21, also tweeted (as KSchwarzenegger): “This is definitely not easy but I appreciate your love and support as i begin to heal and move forward in life. I will always love my family!” They are two of the four kids that Shriver and Schwarzenegger have together.

I am at a COMPLETE loss! This is the woman that Schwarzenegger cheated with? And for what? I understand this affair took place in the late 90s/early 00s, just before Arnold won the California governorship … when there were allegations that he groped women, allegations that he denied. What a damn liar. Everything about him totally disgusts me. Not only did he essentially destroy his own family — his actual wife and her children — but now he’s brought this shame on this secret family as well. I feel for the 14 year old boy. I can’t imagine what it must be like for him to have to learn of all of this. At 14, he knows what’s up … he’s prolly on the Internet reading it all. Ugh … this is just an ugly, ugly mess … my heart goes out to all of Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s victims. I wonder if we will soon find out that there are other mistresses with lovechildren of their own?

UPDATE: TMZ has found the birth certificate, the child was born on October 2, 1997.
