Overview

• Schwarzenegger, 78, made the remark on Sept. 18 while honoring journalist Chris Wallace at his Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony.
• Audience members chuckled at the line comparing Wallace to Shriver, who worked as a journalist during their marriage.
• The pair married in 1986, separated in 2011 after Schwarzenegger admitted an affair with housekeeper Mildred Baena, and finalized their divorce in 2021.
• A 2022 court filing reported that Shriver is entitled to half of Schwarzenegger’s earnings, including his pension, from the marriage period to her divorce filing under California community-property rules.
• Despite the split, the exes have kept close family ties, appearing together at events such as son Patrick’s Sept. 6 wedding, and both have publicly reflected on the breakup in interviews and Shriver’s recent memoir.
