Does Arnold Schwarzenegger’s illegitimate son look like him?

By Alexandra Heilbron on May 19, 2011 | 39 Comments


A photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s illegitimate 13-year-old son has been discovered on the mother’s MySpace page. Mildred Patricia Baena, 50, posted the photo of herself and her son, whose birth date is October 2, 1997, and it was found after several major media outlets such as the Los Angeles Times uncovered her name. Arnold and his wife Maria also have a 13-year-old son, who was born just weeks before Baena’s son. Baena initially named her then-husband, whom she divorced in 2008, as the father of the boy. They also have three other children. Baena was a housekeeper for the family when she was impregnated by Arnold. She was paid $1,200 a week to perform duties such as cleaning, laundry, cooking and other chores. Interestingly, Arnold’s eldest son, Patrick, announced to his Twitter followers this week that he will now be known by his mother’s last name, Shriver. [poll=281]

    He’s got a gap in his teeth, but it’s hard to say. Poor kid. I don’t know why they couldn’t keep their mouths shut. If that guy thought he was the father, why couldn’t they leave it there? Why did she ever tell Arnold he was the father? The father is whoever she was married to at the time in most states. This is totally going to screw this kid’s sense of security, not to mention it’ll probably lead him to think all women are sluts.

    He had to tell her because the bitch, whore Beena threatened to go to the press–typical blackmail–she is a low life!!!

    Arnie, make up with Maria–she is a class act–the banging around has to stop–you have a lot at stake!

    @Judy… what is wrong w/ you?! “bitch, whore…typical blackmail, low-life”

    Yeah, that sounds plausible of a woman w/ 4 kids & who kept quiet for 13 yrs.

    The story came out b/c the media were after the reason for the separation.

    And, for the record, she worked for the man, both were in marriages, but she’s the one that earns your disdain? Think again, girl…

    The structure of the his face is Arnold’s exactly.

  7. Wilela • May 19, 2011 @ 11:43 AM

    Does he look like Arnold’s son with Maria Shriver?

  8. AFSchaff • May 19, 2011 @ 12:33 PM

    Oddly enough, I’ve heard nothing about a paternity test having been done. What does it matter who the boy looks like. Do a damn test and get it over with

  9. Mary • May 19, 2011 @ 1:01 PM

    Grow up everybody she didn’t impregnate herself without the help of the “Happy Wanderer” it takes two to tango.Was this the first time Arnold strayed I doubt that. How long will it be before his past catches up with him,he’s big news so there is still a lot of dirty laundry out there. I said it before once a cheat always a cheat these assholes just can’t keep their zippers zipped! I don’t understand these guys if they want to stray then dissolve the marriage and spare your family the humiliation.

  10. Kitty • May 19, 2011 @ 1:27 PM

    I cannot believe that he cheated on Maria with this ugly latina biatch… too much testosterone Arnold…

  11. Allee • May 19, 2011 @ 2:02 PM

    ugly kid

  12. Kathy • May 19, 2011 @ 5:09 PM

    Yeesh. The poor kid is innocent in all of this and does not deserve to be called ugly or any other names. I think it’s sad that Patrick, Arnold & Maria’s son, now wants his surname to be Shriver. Even though we want them to be perfect our parents are human and make mistakes. I don’t understand why Arnold could not use protection or some other method to not get this woman pregnant, but it happened. And yes, the truth always does come out. I wish his family some measure of peace during what must be a horrible time.

  13. Brigitte • May 19, 2011 @ 5:23 PM

    Why always blaming the women? this sounds like the old dark days of medieval times & pillaries & burning the witches….!

    arnold is the whore – he married the rich woman from the famous family… but f***ed the poor without the courage to stand by his lower class love…. officially engaged with the influental girl for his own carreer purposes…. playing the good guy… playing the good governor…. but without the courage to stand by his own son !!!

    Tis is just SAD! It is human to make mistakes… but it is cowardly not to be able to own up by ones mistakes – especially if one is playing with the life & happiness of a child that had to grow up with lies, without his real farther!

    THAT is the shame!

    I hope the boy does not think that all men are such poor wienies…

  14. Anne • May 19, 2011 @ 5:28 PM

    The boy looks just like his mother. If that woman really cared about her son, she would not have resorted to destroying his life. The poor boy, he now has to get his head around all these wrongs, to try to find his place in this mess. That woman has no respect for anyone but herself. She certainly didn’t give a hoot about Maria. Of course, neither did Arnold, shame on you both. Arnold, I can’t imagine what you could have seen in this woman. Maria is a beautiful, top class lady. Arnold get over yourself, why did you stoop to the way so many stars have gone – cheating. It’s disgusting on someone in your position. How hurt and betrayed Maria must feel. You’ve lost my respect.

  15. Monique • May 19, 2011 @ 5:28 PM

    You guys are evil.
    Ugly kid?? Seriously?? How old are you?
    Same with you Kitty and Judy – grow the hell up.

  16. BRAD • May 19, 2011 @ 5:43 PM

    Are you hot Monique?

  17. steve • May 19, 2011 @ 5:44 PM

    People need to leave Arnie alone. I’ll bet this chick drugged him, or got him wasted. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Some money grabbing hoochie if you ask me.

  18. Bubbles • May 19, 2011 @ 6:04 PM

    The shape of his head reminds me of the young arnold. poor family – hopefully they work this out. i’m surprised maria didn’t kick his butt…

  19. Roggs • May 19, 2011 @ 6:20 PM

    The mistress looks a lot like Maria. Maybe he was drunk one night and got in the wrong bed….lol

  20. Sue • May 19, 2011 @ 7:40 PM

    If you look at Arnold in his earlier years, the kid does resemble Arnold.

    But all the nasty comments said about the boy & his mother while no one mentions Arnold. He`s the one who can`t seem to keep his zipper up or respect Marie enough to stay faithly to her & his children. How many times have we heard stories of his infidility toward Marie. While I do feel sorry for Baena`s son, for his life right now must be hell, I fell even more sorry for Marie and her children. Marie, you & your children truly desire better

  21. Bree • May 19, 2011 @ 10:11 PM

    Why are people being so harsh to the woman here? If she was such a media hungry gold-digger, why did she keep her mouth shut for 13 years? This exposé is sleezy journalism… These were also consenting adults… I’m not saying that I agree with what they did whilst Arnie was married, but he did the decent thing, and supported her, even if it was secretly, and even if it was to protect his public image… Whatever… Just hope the boy is looked after and isn’t too damaged as a result of all of this…

    p.s. $1200/week for housekeeping??? Sign me up!

  22. lynda • May 19, 2011 @ 10:22 PM

    OMG you are all (the rude ones) narrow minded..why is it always the womans fault?? I dont think there is one hollywood ex or otherwise figure male or female that hasnt strayed..and who are you (Allee to call a innocent kid ugly? wtf is wrong with you… u dumb skank..ya skank..how do you like being called names????????? GROW a brain BEOTCH~!!!..can u imagine what its like to be in his shoes at the moment? and hopefully that moment passes and life gets on to normal once more..I dont think he will grow up to think all females are sluts..i just think he will try an grow up to be more respectable towards women…you all forget she was probably the victem here..not the aggressor..omg look at Arnies size? who wouldnt be intimidated~!!~! Millie probably gave in cuz he used force on her! honestly we don’t know and shouldn’t speculate..so bad is me for having said that..

    wow..pples ignorance sure is apparent here!
    I feel for Arnie’s kids and wife..its sad he did what he did..but hey if he wasn’t a prominate personality..ya think this would make the news?? This kind of behaviour happens EVERYWHERE~~ALL THE TIME yet we don’t see that on the news! When its just regular folk..like you an me!

  23. lynda • May 19, 2011 @ 10:24 PM

    one thing more..if you look at all Arnies young pics..this child is the EXACT DOUBLE of him!!! what are you all BLIND??

  24. Bunnie • May 20, 2011 @ 1:00 AM

    Both are to blame. It’s my understanding that they were together more than once, so why no protection?? Both are adults and should have known that this could have (and did) end in a pregnancy. He was toooooo stupid to think about it and she, well, must have planned this…yeah, to have Conan the Terminator’s offspring. It’s the poor child who pays here. He will no doubt suffer ridicule because of this. And it could possibly end up with him being bullied in school. And shame on the media for the way they’re handling this. Leave all of them alone while they work through this. BTW…doesn’t she kind of resemble OctoMom in way??? Well, “Patty”, you’ve gotten your 15mins of fame….now,was it worth it?

  25. fuglykidnmom • May 20, 2011 @ 2:29 AM

    run for the choppa

  26. Thibz • May 20, 2011 @ 8:55 AM

    its not confirmed that this is his child so for those saying it is please stop. Its rediculous that you can sit there and judge an article with facts that arent even concrete.
    Wait for Arnold to come out and speak about it or a test to prove it is his child.

  27. Thibz • May 20, 2011 @ 9:14 AM

    i retract my last comment. lol

  28. C-Dub • May 20, 2011 @ 3:55 PM

    Arnold is a smart guy, I’m sure the kid is his via paternity test. He wouldn’t have paid support all those years for nothing. Side note, was she on crack when she was prego? He looks a little … um slow.. Seriously ugly kid. Man, I hope she was hotter 10yrs ago. Damn Arnie, I thought you had better taste.

  29. JoeyJoJo • May 20, 2011 @ 7:43 PM

    GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!

  30. linda watson • May 20, 2011 @ 9:54 PM

    The media is so much to blame for this recent sensation. Californians (and everyone else) have long known that Arnold was nothing but a low-life, egotistical womanizer. He’s such a skirt chaser and this woman probably slept with him so that she could keep a job and food on the table. The media probably waited until he was no longer the governor before exposing him. Now he gets to keep all his benefits at the expense of the taxpayers. Why didn’t you expose him during his years in office; it certainly wasn’t a secret!

  31. ihatehaters • May 21, 2011 @ 3:55 PM

    She probably wss not ugly 13 years ago and her cooch was probably tighter before delivering Arnies son. All the negative comments on here from the women is because this lady got there first. They hate on her because she could get Arnie and she had enough integrity to keep her mouth shut for 13 years for whatever reasons. All the women who hate on her if they were in her position would have asked for millions in child support. Undeclared tax free child support in cold hard cash so they could keep their mouths shut and buy things to doll themselves up and not give any to the kid. Because they have to keep quiet for his sake and not for the sake of their wallets.

    I hate all haters

  32. Eric Renaud • May 22, 2011 @ 1:17 PM

    Hello you all… I could not agree more with that last comment. Who is to judge Arnold or Baena? Leave all this and look at your own lives for once. You might want to change some stuff you did in the past. We all do regret things… We are all humans. Do some research for a few minutes, you’ll see quickly that nobody will do as much as Arnold did in his life for the community. Way before he was Governor. This situation is already hard enough for all of them, Baena, the kid, Arnold, Maria, and the kids. Just let it go. True nature of everyone is a little ugly. Nobody is perfect. Everybody is human… We must all think before judging. Sorry Arnold that the empire you built has to be crushed down by the media. Life is what it is…

  33. annalee • May 22, 2011 @ 6:17 PM

    Well said Eric.

  34. Bobby Kennedy Jr. • May 23, 2011 @ 1:11 AM

    Being honest the kid really looks like Arnold in his ealy days when he filmed “Conan” as well looks like his mother Patricia. Maria never listen the family’s advice never to get involve with Arnold; but in the contratry She has always had vanity for Hollywood, Fortune and Fame so classical of Hollywood and its sterotypes of money, corruption and fame and this are the consecuencies when you try to pray on your familie’s reputation. Arnold is a good actor but with his millions and fame has always harrased women in his life and Maria always knew about it entirely. I hope everything works out for Mildred Patricia, the kid, Maria, Arnold and my nephews. God bless all!!

    Its not a tummaaah

  36. christopher thomas • May 25, 2011 @ 2:48 AM

    I too have lived this life scenario as my father was Danny Thomas. This boy was hid for the self preservation of Arnold.
    I was hidden so my father and family could keep their respect separating themselves from a bastard son & brother. I learned who I was at 13 , did anyone even tell this boy who he is while growing.
    Look at the family pics of Arnold , I don��t see this son , how do you think this child feels . I��ll tell you, it��s a terrible feeling . I always said I was born on the wrong side of the fence.
    This boy will never feel as though he belongs . He is no less Arnolds child then the other kids however because he doesn��t have the same mother he will never be part of the family. Where did he spend his Christmas�� , was his dad ever there for his birthday��s ?
    Arnold is truly a bad father if he could not treat each child equal. Why did it take 10 years for us to hear , this was kept quite as his fame counted on it , the same as my father Danny Thomas had done to me.
    Did he give this son a name ? I doubt it.
    I am one of the very few alumni of the �Bastards of the Famous��, in fact there is only one other extremely famous person I know of who has a bastard son and has been confirmed by DNA , that was Elvis. As being in this select group I know the pain this child will grow up and live with. Click on my name to read my site and you will understand .

    90% of the men cheat on their wives but they don’t all get caught. I learned this from an early age when I was 17 years old… I was very pretty and worked for a large company. Most the men were married business men and 90% of them asked me out. I refused to date married men but would always ask them “why do you want to cheat on your wife?” and their answer was “she’s too busy with the kids and doesn’t give me enough attention any more”. And for this reason I never got married!

    Yeah, I see the resemblance. He has his hair, mouth, teeth, cheeks and chin.
