Former Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger had a long relationship with Maria Shriver. The duo first met during a tennis match and were together for years. Back in the day, the $450 million worth bodybuilding legend was deeply in love with Maria, who is the niece of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

Interestingly, Schwarzenegger once made an eye-catching statement about Maria Shriver’s behavior towards him.

Back in 1992, the legendary actor appeared on Oprah Winfrey and responded to her line of questioning about his ‘high-maintenance’ comment on her friend Maria. The Terminator star replied, ”When you compare your wife with your mother, you have to pay much more attention to your wife than your mother.” 

Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed what happened if he forgot to call his wife

In order to give justification to Oprah, Arnold Schwarzenegger compared Maria to his mother and made it crystal clear that his comments were not in a negative light, but based on basic facts of marriage.

“I’m very close to my mother, but she doesn’t complain if I don’t call one week. You know, if I’m on a trip somewhere or something like this, if I don’t call Maria every day. Believe me, hell breaks loose so.”
