Schwarzenegger admitted he wanted to hide his heart surgery from his wife, who was pregnant in 1997. He also revealed he did not tell Shriver about his plans to run for governor in 2003. When she came to know about it, Maria teared up because of her personal history in the field.
Commenting on his trait of hiding things, Arnold said, “That’s the way I handled things, and it always has worked, but it’s not the best thing for people around me.” In the long run, things didn’t pan out well for Arnold either, as Maria filed for divorce in 2011. After years of counseling and trying to make things work, the couple completed their divorce after 10 years.

Celebrity divorces usually involve an enormous sum of money. But few are as big as Arnold and Maria’s. The celebrity couple had a massive net worth of over $400million to divide.
