Arnold Schwarzenegger’s secret ten-year love story exposed

Arnold Schwarzenegger has kept fans in the dark about his decade-long relationship as he reaches his 78th milestone.

While the world knows him as the action packed Terminator, few are aware of the enduring relationship he shares with Heather Milligan, his partner of ten years.

For those unfamiliar, the Hollywood icon was previously married to journalist Maria Shriver for 25 years.

Their marriage ended in 2011 following the revelation of his affair with former housekeeper Mildred Baena.

Despite the split, the two remained on good terms and continued to co-parent their children.

The Predator actor met Milligan, a respected physical therapist, in 2012 while recovering from a shoulder injury.

At the time, he was preparing for his role in the action film Escape Plan alongside Sylvester Stallone.

Although the couple have preferred to stay out of the limelight, they made a rare public appearance together in June at the premiere of FUBAR season two.

The 50-year-old health professional is also said to share a close bond with Schwarzenegger’s five children.

In past interviews, the former Governor of California spoke warmly about her, praising her ambition and independence.

“I love that she’s into working. She’s clearly independent. She just is driven as hell,” he said.
