Who is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ex-love?

The woman who became the lover of the protagonist of “Predator” more than two decades ago is the Guatemalan Mildred Patricia “Patty” Baena, who was the housewife of the Schwarzenegger family for several years since 1991.

As News 24 Viral points out, they had a romantic relationship that resulted in the birth of Joseph Baena on October 2, 1997.

However, the woman hid the blood relationship between father and son, and the actor realized this a few years later due to the undeniable resemblance between the two. “The older (Joseph) got, the clearer it became, and then I wondered how I could keep it a secret,” the former bodybuilder told Infobae.

By then, Arnold Schwarzenegger hid his son and decided to keep him through an informal custody arrangement he made with Mildred, who continued to work in their family home until 2011, shortly before Joseph’s existence became public.
