Arnold Schwarzenegger employed Mildred Patricia Baena as a housekeeper for 20 years.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's illegitimate son exclaimed "Cool!" when told that the Hollywood star was his father, according to his mother, who has spoken for the first time since the scandal（丑闻） broke.

Joseph, 13, only discovered his true parentage one year ago and is now looking forward to building a relationship with the former California Governor.

The details were disclosed by the boy's mother Mildred Baena, Mr Schwarzenegger's former maid, in her only interview with Hello! magazine in the UK.

Mrs Baena also spoke² of the moment Mr Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria Shriver, realised she had been betrayed after hearing "whispers" in the house about the resemblance（相似） of the boy to her husband.

The maid described collapsing³ to her knees and tearfully confessing to Miss Shriver late last year. But, instead of being vengeful（复仇的） , Miss Shriver told her to get up and then cried with her.

Guatemalan-born Mrs Baena told Hello!: "She would say things like 'I'm here if you need to talk.' I sensed something was up. I have so much love and respect for Maria. Finally, she asked point blank.

"She was so strong. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees. We held each other and I told her it wasn't Arnold's fault, that it takes two."

In the interview Mrs Banea, 50, and her son posed for photographs together.

She said her intention was to put the record straight following the media frenzy⁴（狂暴） surrounding the scandal.

Mrs Baena said she and the "Terminator" star did not have a lengthy⁵ affair.

She became sure Mr Schwarzenegger was the father of her son as the boy grew up and began to look like him.

Mrs Baena said the 63-year-old "Terminator" star was a "good man" who would be "suffering too," and added: "He loves Maria. I hope with time they work things out."

She said Mr Schwarzenegger may have had suspicions the boy was his but never said anything to her about it, and only learned the truth recently.
