Washington, May 18 : Political insiders and former colleagues of former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger have said that they are not surprised by the news that the actor fathered a child out of wedlock.

Last week, Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver announced they were separating after 25 years of marriage. And recently, he announced that he had fathered a love child with a woman who worked for him for
20 years.

"There have been rumours swirling around for years, citing a number of incidents regarding Arnold Schwarzenegger''s infidelity,” the Fox News quoted California-based publicist Angie Meyer, who works closely with the California GOP, as saying.

"This comes as a complete surprise to no one – especially those closest to the ex-Governor''s innermost circles,” Meyer added.

A Republican political insider on Capitol Hill concurred.

“So far, not much surprise here,” said source. (ANI)
