Maria Shriver’s Dating Life Post-Split from Arnold Schwarzenegger: An Update

Maria Shriver has largely remained private about her split from Arnold Schwarzenegger, but in March 2025, she shared an excerpt of her book, “I Am Maria,” with People, and it detailed the pain of her divorce. “It broke my heart, it broke my spirit, it broke what was left of me,” she wrote. “I was consumed with grief and wracked with confusion, anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety. I was unsure now of who I was, where I belonged. Honestly, it was brutal, and I was terrified.”

Over time, Shriver learned to move on from heartbreak after her breakup, and she has a great relationship with Schwarzenegger now. “… I think there will always be a love there,” she shared on Oprah Winfrey’s “The Oprah Podcast” on March 25. The mom of four added, “He’s the father of my children. We’re grandparents together, and I don’t want to have hate. I don’t want to have anger in my body towards another person. I don’t want that in my life at all.”
