Arnold Schwarzenegger is planning to visit his former housekeeper, Mildred Baena, and their son, Joseph, said TMZ.com. The 63-year-old actor and former governor, in the midst of a divorce from Maria Shriver, has reportedly spoken to Baena several times on the phone, including on the evening the scandal broke, and has been working to schedule a face-to-face reunion with the child he fathered. “Both families are open to a meeting, it just hasn’t happened yet,” says a source.
