In Therapy, Arnold Told Joseph Everything.
The identity of Joseph’s biological father was never kept a secret for very long. In other words, it appears that Maria needed psychotherapy to persuade her husband to admit his mistakes. Couples counseling was a necessary part of Arnold’s life in 2011 because his counselor explained to him why he and his partner needed it. In order to uncover the truth, Shriver arranged a meeting to discuss the matter with her colleagues.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was finally compelled to confront it head-on after spending the previous 15 years attempting to escape it. In spite of the discomfort it caused him, he acknowledged that he was Joseph’s father. Arnold’s expression of regret was utterly incomprehensible to Maria because she was too heartbroken at the time.
