His private life eclipsed his movie and political careers when it emerged he’d fathered a son with his housekeeper and kept it secret for 14 years.The revelation cost Arnold Schwarzenegger his marriage of 25 years to Maria Shriver, but the 69-year-old says he’s looking forward not back.Arnold told April’s Men’s Journal he’s focused on having a great relationship with Joseph Baena, 19, who was born to Schwarzenegger’s former maid and ex-mistress Mildred Baena.The Apprentice star, who covered the issue, explained off keeping the secret: ‘You do think about it every so often. I can beat myself up as much as I want – it’s not gonna change the situation. So the key thing is, how do you move forward? How do you have a great relationship with your kids?’He admits regret over the affair, saying: ‘You can’t go back – if I could, in reality, be Terminator, of course I would go back in time and would say, ‘Arnold… no.’ ‘He adds: ‘You know, it’s always easy to be smart in hindsight. That’s not the way it works.’Arnold shared a post celebrating the teen’s 19th birthday, in October, on Instagram.‘Happy birthday, Joseph. Great student, great athlete. I’m proud of you and I love you!’ the Terminator actor wrote at the time.In 2011, Schwarzenegger admitted to being Joseph’s father after being confronted by Shriver.Together the couple have four children – Katherine, 27, Christina, 25, Patrick, 23, and Christopher, 19.Joseph was born just one week after Schwarzenegger’s youngest son with Shriver, Christopher.The bodybuilder claimed he had no idea Joseph was his son until he was about 7 or 8 and began to resemble him, he told 60 Minutes in 2012.‘You can’t go back – if I could, in reality, be Terminator, of course I would go back in time and would say, ‘Arnold … no,” he told Men’s Journal, adding: ‘You know, it’s always easy to be smart in hindsight. That’s not the way it works.’More recently, Schwarzenegger found himself in the firing line of President Trump, after ratings with him as the replacement host on Celebrity Apprentice came in lower than the leader of the free world’s.‘Wow, the ratings are in, and Arnold Schwarzenegger got ‘swamped’ (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT,’ Trump tweeted.The President also wrote, despite being listed as an executive producer of the show: ‘So much for….being a movie star – and that was season 1 compared to season 14.  Now compare him to my season 1.  But who cares, he supported Kasich & Hillary.’The Kindergarten Cop star recalled to the publication his response to the criticism: ‘Don’t get into a stinking contest with a skunk.’The former Governor of California also posted a video in response. saying: ‘Hey Donald, I have a great idea. Why don’t we switch jobs? You take over TV, because you’re such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job and then people can finally sleep comfortably again.’By Reuben Abati
