Arnold Schwarzenegger never fails to admit the biggest failure of his life, his divorce from journalist and ex-wife, Maria Shriver. The couple separated in 2011 and officially divorced late in 2021. However, the star athlete constantly reiterates his love for her at every chance he gets, which over the years, hasn’t changed at all. In a recent interview with ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, he once again, didn’t shy away from confessing his affection for Shriver. 

Yet, as life goes on, even Schwarzenegger has moved on and claims to be happy with his girlfriend, Heather Milligan, who works as a physical therapist. The great understanding the ex-couple has managed to weave, allowed them to keep their family intact. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger in his trail of love

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the 75-year-old icon’s latest Netflix series, FUBAR portrays his character strangely similar to his life. The character has a failed marriage because he cheated, thus, encouraging the question of whether it was deliberately exhibited in that manner. The answer is open to speculations, however, the only difference is that the character doesn’t think of his act as cheating since he’s an agent and “seducing CIA assets” was a part of his job.

Whereas in real life, the Hollywood icon doesn’t refrain from accepting his mistake and revealed, “But in [my real-life marriage to Shriver], it was my fu**up. It was my failure.” He added that in the show, his character is still deeply in love with his ex-wife, which, as a matter of fact, is true to reality. This raised another question about his divorced status, “Do you miss being married?” the interviewer asked.
