Gossip: Brigitte Nielsen, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver
The Danish actress said she and Schwarzenegger had a relationship on a film set, at the same time he and Shriver were dating.
Brigitte Nielsen claimed last week that she had an affair with Arnold Schwarzenegger while he was courting Maria Shriver, said the London Daily Mail. The 6-foot-1-inch Danish actress, who was once married to Sylvester Stallone, said she and Schwarzenegger had a relationship on a film set in 1985, at the same time he and Shriver were dating. “He never spoke about her,” said Nielsen, 47. “I felt I was the only one. Then I realized about him and Maria and, wow, I felt cheated.” Shriver, furious that the former California governor fathered a child with their housekeeper, has asked for a divorce, and sources say that “Arnold finally seems to be accepting this.’’
