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.’’
