Who is Mildred Patricia Baena?

To make the introduction easier, Mildred Patricia Baena is the mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s son, Joseph Baena.

Mildred Patricia Baena worked for the Schwarzenegger family for 20 years until retiring in January 2011. The whole incident occurred in the mid-1990s when the ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ actor slept with Baena. Unfortunately, Baena got pregnant with Arnold’s child and later gave birth to their son, Joseph Pena. Interestingly, she put the name of her then-husband as the father in the birth certificate instead of the Austrian origin actor.
