Arnold Schwarzenegger out and about in LA with a brace on his leg… days after divorce made official

Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped out in Los Angeles with a brace on his leg Sunday. 

The former governor, 74, wore a black jacket with an American flag patch on the left arm and the California state seal on a patch over his left pectoral. 

He wore the jacket over a white t-shirt. On his lower half he donned blue pants, a brown loafer on his left foot and a large white walking book on his right. 

It remains unknown why he  was wearing a brace but he has been seen with it off/on through the past few months.

Schwarzenegger’s appearance in public came just a few days after he finalized his divorce from his ex-wife Maria Shriver – a moment more than decade in the making.  

Arnold and Maria famously remained estranged for years after the journalist filed for divorce in July 1, 2011 following news he fathered a child – Joseph Baena – with their housekeeper Mildred Patricia ‘Patty’ Baena.

The divorce remained in limbo for a decade due to both the ‘lack of motivation’ and a complex property settlement agreement, with his empire including a Brentwood mansion, an Idaho holiday home and a number of investment properties.

The couple, who wed at St Francis Xavier Church, in Hyannis, Massachusetts in 1986, had a reported net worth of over $400 million but had to divide that in half as they had no prenup, according to The Blast. 

The actor has made no secret of his forays into the world of real estate and previously revealed he made his first million on property rather than acting. He said: ‘I did not rely on my movie career to make a living’. 

Prior to Arnold’s recent filing, nothing had been done about his divorce case with Maria in over four years, with ‘the last being an address change for one of Arnold’s lawyers.’

Maria was represented by famous divorce lawyer Laura Wasser while Arnold hired Kristina Royce.  

Joseph was born on October 2, 1997, only a few days after Maria gave birth to the couple’s fourth child, Christopher.

But it wasn’t until May of 2011 that it was revealed that the housekeeper’s child was his.

The Terminator star was not aware Joseph was his son until seven or eight years after he was born.

Shriver was reportedly devastated because she was friends with the maid, who had been working in their LA home for many years, and trusted her. 

And finding out the father of the maid’s son was actually her husband was crushing. 

When asked about Maria filing for divorce and how he’s had time to reflect in a 2017 interview with OBJECTified, the former governor said, ‘I do not need any time to reflect, when I know it was a major, major screw up.’ 

Maria and Arnold married in 1986 and did not have a prenup. They have four children together: Katherine, 32, Christina, 30, Patrick, 28, and Christopher, 24.

Joseph is now 24-years-old and is close to his action star dad, with the pair often hitting the gym together and sharing their sessions to Instagram. 

Despite their split, the exes remained cordial over the years and have both moved on romantically. 

Arnold has been dating physical therapist Heather Milligan for over eight years while Maria was in a relationship with Matthew Dowd.
