The Real Reason Arnold Schwarzenegger Confessed He Has a Love Child

After keeping his lovechild a secret for over decade, why did Arnold Schwarzenegger decide to come clean about his infidelities? If he hid it for this long, he certainly could have gone a few more, right? Apparently not. Mildred Patricia Baena, known as "Patty” worked as Arnold’s housekeeper/assistant for over 20 years. They would often have unprotected sex during the day when no one was home. Initial reports claim Arnold’s love child is 10 years-old, but now we’re getting word he’s actually 14. All was well between them until she was let go in January—right around the same time Arnold told Maria he had a secret love child. Conflicting reports say she was let go just a few weeks ago. "Mildred was furious that the father of her son would callously fire her from her job after decades of loyal service," one of the Mildred's closest confidantes said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "She admitted to friends how she finally wanted to tell the secret -- that she had kept faithfully for 14 years -- to the world." Arnold and Patty reportedly had a big blowout recently and she threatened to go public with the news. So what did Arnold do? Beat her to the punch. Arnold and Maria released a statement saying they were separating and one week later he confessed he has a secret love child. Patty is expected to make the media rounds this week revealing more and more about their scandalous affair.



Kelsey Grammer Files for Sole Custody of Kids

The plot thickens in the heated split between Kelsey Grammer and ex-wife Camille Grammer. In court papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Kelsey, 56, is requesting primary physical custody of Mason, 9, and Jude, 6 – the two children he has with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 42. The filing, which offers Camille time with the kids during half of their summer and half of their winter break, asks for the new custody agreement to begin after July 2, one year since the reality star filed for divorce from the now remarried actor.



Camille Grammer Is Ready to Fight for Her Kids

Camille Grammer is not taking her ex-husband's request for custody of their two children lightly. "She will fight like hell to keep her children with her, being raised by her, exactly where the children wish to be," a close friend of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star says. Kelsey Grammer, 56, filed for sole custody of Mason, 9, and Jude, 6, in L.A. County Superior Court last week. The filing offers Camille time with the kids during half of their summer and half of their winter breaks. Last year, Kelsey relocated to New York City where he starred in the Broadway musical La Cage Aux Folles. He met flight attendant Kayte Walsh during this time and announced his split from Camille last summer. The two were divorced in February and Kelsey married Walsh later that month. The couple reside in New York City, while Camille lives in Los Angeles with her and Kelsey's children. "He abandoned his family and got married within months of separating from Camille, all of which speaks volumes about his parenting and his respect for his current children," says the friend, who describes Camille, 42, as a "loving and compassionate mother." "Camille looks forward to a full and complete professional evaluation," the friend continues, "which she is more than confident will show her to be the more appropriate person to be primarily responsible for the custody of the children."
