Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria
Shriver have announced their
separation after 25 years of
marriage.
Arnold is former award-winning
body builder, Austrian migrant to
the US who became a hit movie star
with hundreds of millions of dollars
in the bank. When the drab
Democratic governor of California
was recalled (eight years ago?) like a
hundred Californians threw their hat
in the ring to take over, but it was
Arnold that won, with his promises
to terminate the problems of
California.
Arnold ran as a Republican, but he
was fully supported by the entire
Kennedy family, which literally
stood behind him on the podium,
on the day of his crucial
announcement.
Maybe it was partly his rippling
body that endeared him to the
American princess Maria in the
seventies, when they first met.
Maria is a first cousin of John F.
Kennedy, a true case of an
American blueblood marrying a
commoner. Maria Shriver is also a
broadcast journalist and very good
long-term friends with Oprah
Winfrey.
Maria and Arnold have known each
other for most of their lives. The
couple has done very well for
themselves, with four kids, great
careers, and we hope an enduring
friendship.
