How Did the National Enquirer Miss Arnold's Love Child?

You just answer your question , it was at his home. Knowing how the Kennedy's compound was set up I assume that Arnold's and Maria's home was a fortress. Once those doors were closed, no paparazzi could get in.

This one astounds me that not even a hint really got out at all. I mean, there are people who basically trip over themselves to uncover any little thing about the lives of celebrities. Arnold's love child is far from a little thing, it is a very big thing and it would not be something that would be hidden. It would be plastered all over every news place. Especially with the Internet being around, it is more than difficult to hide something like this. Something like this being hidden, for ten years, for any amount of time,without someone shooting their mouths off. Not even dropping one single hint at all. These days, normally, nothing absolutely nothing can be hidden at all. There is no such thing as a private life for the famous people in life. This would be big news, but the fact that there was no news until now, that really is truly the biggest news of that all. It really does astound me.

Actually I very distinctly remember them pushing a story about a secret love child way back when he said he was going to run for governor in the regular election. He denied it, condemned them for even suggesting such a thing, and chose not to run for governor in order to protect his family from such ridiculous and hurtful accusations. When Gray Davis got recalled though, he was able to pretty much walk into office with no serious challengers and a quick election that didn't lend itself to much scrutiny. I'll see if I can find something about it later, but I'm sure I remember it because it was part of why he originally chose not to run.

Are you sure that didn't mention Love child way back when Arnold was still doing movies? There are a few opinions that Maria Shriver "knew" about it because the Kennedy's are her family. With the reputation of the Kennedy men, she likely would have recognized the signs. Granted, she may have not known the "who." Of course, that is all speculation. But it would be another ripe story that the National Enquirer is completely missing. Wow, they aren't even picking up on the story. Guess you were right Anniepa, they are completely falling behind on this story.

Maybe that's why, Annie. Because she lived there and was raising her child there, presumably, and wasn't talking to anyone, no one was able to see him "sneaking" away with anyone and, unlike a certain Monica, this one kept her mouth shut (why? maybe she loves him? maybe she liked her job too much to screw up a good thing? maybe she liked Maria too much to want to hurt her in any way - screwy way to think by then, but it's not impossible?) But, I think because it was all behind closed doors, it was under the radar. He seemed like a good family guy now who's dalliances tended to be publicly visible and there hadn't been any indication previously of tremors in their quake zone. I mean, who really keeps their mistress in the same house as their missus? No one was looking for that one.

Probably because the woman was claiming the child to be from her husband. Not to mention I'm sure that anyone who did know about the affair was probably paid a lot of money to keep their mouths shut.

Who knows? People hide from the truth all of the time. You never know who to trust or believe anymore on what you may hear. There is too much lying, cheating and corruption these days for sure.

She doesn't live under his ROOF, she lives in her own house with her children, only one of which appears to have been sired by Arnold. As I understand it, she didn't even tell Arnold the child was his until he was a few years old. And there is a 10 year old boy whose life is unnecessarily becoming tabloid fodder because all these enquiring minds want to know. He may be a low-life womanizer and cheater, but the people publishing the gossip aren't lily-white pure of heart, either. They're making money off of it.

Is he taking care of this child's needs? Providing for him financially? I can forgive the adultery, but not neglect. I agree with Rollo. This isn't fair for the child.

Maybe they were paid off not to run it, LOL.

the daily drivel would never have missed that. in fact we have supplied, mostly imaginary, love children for every famous or semi-famous or been on a reality show person in the world. every single one. but that is the difference between the enquirer - shoddy lackadaisical reporting and the daily drivel - top quality stories that you want to read. every day.
