Housekeeper claims she was ‘more of a wife’ to Schwarzenegger than Maria Shriver: report

The housekeeper who had an affair with Arnold Schwarzenegger often bedded the former governor in the same bed he shared with wife Maria Shriver, according to a new report.

Mildred Patty Baena had an obsession with Shriver and wanted to look just like Maria — even putting on her clothes and jewelry as well as sharing intimate moments with Ahnold in Shriver’s bed, TMZ reported today.

Baena, 50, once even bragged that she was “more of a wife to Arnold than Maria” because she was always there for him, the site reported.

A source said Shriver once noticed that a piece of jewelry was missing and interviewed the staff about it, TMZ reported.

Baena would also go to Shriver for “love advice” as well as advice about her pregnancy, the site reported.

Ahnold did not voluntarily tell his wife that he fathered the child — instead confessing only after Shriver confronted the other woman, who admitted it.

Shriver reportedly asked Baena if her son was fathered by Arnold and the housekeeper broke down and confessed, RadarOnline.com and Star magazine uncovered in a joint investigation.

Armed with that information, Maria confronted her husband, who also admitted it.

Schwarzenegger, 63, reportedly fired his hefty, hot-to-trot housekeeper about a month ago in a desperate bid to save his marriage.

But his plan backfired and brought an abrupt end to his long deception.

“She was working for Arnold and Maria until about four weeks ago. But all of a sudden, out of nowhere, she was told there was no longer work for her,” a source told RadarOnline.com, refuting earlier claims that Baena had decided to retire after 20 years of service.

“[Baena] took it hard,” the source said.

But a scorned Baena didn’t cower in front of the powerful former governor.

The fuming baby mama threatened to go public, forcing Schwarzenegger to ‘fess up to his wife. While it isn’t clear if Baena followed through on her threat, a friend of hers told RadarOnline the battle with Schwarzenegger was “a nuclear blow-up.”

Patty “was furious that the father of her . . . son would callously fire her from a job after decades of loyal service,” the friend said.

“She admitted to friends how she finally wanted to tell the secret, that she had kept faithfully for 14 years, to the world.”
