Report: Baena Would Wear Shriver's Clothes, Jewelry

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's alleged affair with the family maid, Mildred Patricia Baena, eventually led to the demise of his marriage to Maria Shriver, as well as the firing of Baena after 20 years of service.

The birth certificate for Baena's son with Schwarzenegger indicates the boy was born in October 1997. However, Baena's husband, Rogelio, is listed as the father.

During that same week, Maria Shriver delivered the couple's youngest son, Christopher. Both women were pregnant at the same time – in the same house.

TMZ reported Thursday that before she was fired, Baena would sometimes dress in Shriver's clothing, wear her jewelry, and even seek the former First Lady's love advice.

Schwarzenegger was also reportedly making payments to support his child with Baena.

Neighbors say Schwarzenegger's son is a good kid who doesn't deserve the intense media scrutiny that has descended on his Bakersfield neighborhood.

The former governor spent $270,000 for the home last July.
