Divorces are often perceived as a complex and emotionally challenging process that can strain relationships. However, Arnold Schwarzenegger has proved this notion wrong, as ‘The Austrian Oak’ is on great terms with his ex-wife. The power couple filed for divorce in 2011 and eventually parted ways in 2021. However, the latest statement from the Austrian Oak shows that the two are still on good terms even after a decade-long struggle for separation. 

The Terminator star recently appeared in an interview for the Hollywood Reporter. However, as the reporter asked him a question about his past marriage life, the legendary superstar grabbed the limelight when he demanded an Academy Award for himself and his ex-wife.

The former governor of California also revealed that despite the challenges, they have prioritized their children’s upbringing.
