Los Angeles, May 10 : Hollywood's sinewy superhero and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver on Monday announced the decision to separate, ending a 25 year old union and parenting of four children.
In a joint statement issued to the media, the separating couple said: “This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us. After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion, and prayer, we came to this decision together."
“At this time, we are living apart, while we work on the future of our relationship,” they said. “We are continuing to parent our four children together. They are the light and the center of both of our lives,” the statement added.
On April 26, 1986, the Austria born Schwarzenegger married television journalist Maria Shriver. She is the niece of President John F. Kennedy.
The 63-year-old Schwarzenegger, known for his action films like Conan the Barbarian, The Terminator, Commando, Total Recall and Predator before his political career as a Republican (he was governor for two term in California and held office till four months ago), and his family were living in their sprawling home in Brentwood, a neighbourhood of Los Angeles, but Maria moved out of the place following the separation.
Schwarzenegger, who had earlier been accused of sexual misconduct during his election run up, has said he believes the secret of a good marriage is love and respect.
"If you have the ultimate love for your wife and she has it for you, I think you have a great head start ... That's not to say it won't be difficult sometimes. You go through your ups and downs but you work through it," he was quoted saying.
