It\u2019s one of those stories where the people involved are so famous and familiar, no last names are necessary.<\/p>\n

From the Los Angeles Times: <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, have separated, with Shriver moving out of their Brentwood mansion while the two determine the next step in their 25-year marriage.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shriver has been residing apart from the actor-turned-politician for the last few weeks. The former first couple confirmed the separation in a joint statement released Monday after questions from The Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us,\u201d the statement read. \u201cAfter a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion and prayer, we came to this decision together. At this time, we are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are continuing to parent our four children together. They are the light and the center of both of our lives. We consider this a private matter and neither we nor any of our friends or family will have further comment. We ask for compassion and respect from the media and the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the years, the marriage between the international celebrity and the daughter of the Kennedy dynasty has come under close scrutiny, especially during the 2003 recall of Gov. Gray Davis, when The Times reported on Schwarzenegger\u2019s lengthy history of groping women. At the time, Shriver defended her husband, helping lift him to victory in the free-for-all contest.<\/p>\n

Since Schwarzenegger left office, it had seemed as though the two were living separate lives. Shriver, a former contributing anchor on NBC\u2019s \u201cDateline,\u201d has worked on her women\u2019s empowerment website, guest edited an issue of Oprah Winfrey\u2019s magazine and promoted causes near to her heart, such as Alzheimer\u2019s research. She struggled with the death of her father, Sargent Shriver, in January, and took her son Patrick and some of his friends on an East Coast college tour in April.<\/p>\n

Shriver, 55, spoke openly about the uncertainty she felt about moving on to the next phase of her life. \u201cIt is so stressful to not know what you\u2019re doing next,\u201d Shriver said in a March 28 YouTube video to supporters. Though there was no intimation of a split, Shriver appeared without her wedding ring. \u201cI\u2019d like to hear from other people in transition,\u201d Shriver said. \u201cHow did you get through it? What were three things that enabled you to get through your transition?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
