Mildred Baena, the housekeeper who is the mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 13-year-old out-of-wedlock son, told Britain's HELLO! magazine that the boy, Joseph, exclaimed, "Cool!" when told whom his father is.
The boy is looking forward to building a relationship with the former California governor and Hollywood star, she said.
Baena told the magazine she realized the truth of the boy's parentage once he began to resemble Schwarzenegger.
She said that Maria Shriver, Schwarzenegger's now-estranged wife, had started to put two and two together as well. "Finally, she asked point blank," Baena said. "She was so strong. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees. We held each other and I told her it wasn't Arnie's fault, that it takes two."
