Arnold Schwarzenegger's governorship is over, and the same can likely be said for his marriage: Now, his movie career is on hold.

"Gov. Schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters and is not willing to commit to any production schedules or timelines," his office said in a statement Thursday, as he told his talent agency to postpone all current and future show business plans.

Maria Shriver made her first public appearance alongside pal Oprah Winfrey at Chicago's United Center Tuesday night, for the taping of the talk show legend's second-to-last show.

The public outing was the first for the estranged wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the wake of RadarOnline.com and Star magazine’s joint investigation that revealed the former California governor fathered a child more than ten years ago with Mildred Baena, the housekeeper at their mansion in the posh Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

It sounds like the plot of a bad Hollywood comedy (No, not Twins).

In the wake of RadarOnline.com and Star magazine’s blockbuster joint investigation, we've learned that Maria Shriver and Mildred Baena, her former housekeeper, were pregnant at the same time with Arnold Schwarzenegger's babies.

Arnold Schwarzenegger took more hits than a piñata on Tuesday night, as a few late night comedians wasted no time in crafting jokes about the married Governator having an illegitimate son with his former housekeeper, Mildred Baena, also known as Patty.

"Hasta la vista, it's my baby!" joked Jay Leno, who added that "we found [Osama] bin Laden before we found Arnold's love child!"

Maria Shriver has broken her silence following the shocking news that her estranged husband, former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, fathered a child out-of-wedlock a decade ago.

"This is a painful and heartbreaking time," Shriver said in a statement. "As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect  and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal.

The bombshell revelation that Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child out-of-wedlock with a housekeeper, behind Maria Shriver's back, is hardly the first scandalous news involving the Kennedy family’s hallowed name.

Here's a few others, just in case you forgot:

On July 19, 1969, on the island of Chappaquiddick, the body of campaign staffer Mary Jo Kopechne was found in Ted Kennedy's car after the politician drove off a bridge. Ted pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury, and  the incident was cited by many as the reason he'd never run for president.

With his governorship over -- and his marriage looking to be headed in that direction as well -- it's time to pose the question: What's next for Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Prior to Schwarzenegger, 63, admitting he’d fathered a child out-of-wedlock, he seemed to be headed back to the silver screen after leaving his two-term stint as California governor earlier this year.

His plans were said to include a return to acting, as iMDb lists two films he's involved with currently in the pre-production phase: The Last Stand and Cry Macho.

Maria Shriver is staying mum in the wake of the shocking news that her estranged husband, former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, fathered a child out-of-wedlock.

Asked about the incident, Shriver's rep said she had "no comment" Monday.

While Maria's staying silent, RadarOnline.com takes a closer look at the woman who America's squarely focused on in one of her darkest hours.
