New details about the Schwarzenegger scandal are unfolding. According to TMZ.com

Arnold Schwarzenegger made a $65,000 down payment on a house for his ex-housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena — less than a year before he admitted to fathering her child … TMZ has learned.
According to loan documents obtained by TMZ, Arnold made the “gift” payments in two installments from his own personal bank account — one for $5,000 in April 2010 … and one for $60,000 in May 2010.

According to the docs, the money was used to secure a loan for Patty’s house in Bakersfield, CA — where she currently lives with Arnold’s 13-year-old love child.

The purchase price of the house was $268,000 — so Arnold’s down payment covered nearly a quarter of the total cost.

Meanwhile, Radar Online has learned that Maria Shriver had to confront her husband to find out the truth about the ‘love child.’

Arnold Schwarzenegger did not voluntarily tell his wife that he fathered a love child with the housekeeper — instead he confessed only after Maria Shriver confronted the woman, who admitted it.

Maria asked Mildred Baena if her son was fathered by Arnold and the housekeeper broke down and confessed, RadarOnline.com and Star magazine uncovered in a joint investigation.
Armed with that information, Maria confronted her husband, who also admitted it.

That’s the real story of how the love child scandal unfolded in the Schwarzenegger household.

In his only public statement about the matter, Arnold said earlier this week: “After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago.”
