Maria Shriver has reportedly hired a divorce lawyer after learning her estranged husband Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a lovechild with a member of their household staff.
 
The former Governor and First Lady of California announced they had split after 25 years earlier this month (May11), sending shockwaves through Hollywood.
 
It was revealed on Tuesday (17May11) that the separation was due to the True Lies star having a child with a housekeeper more than a decade ago.
 
Shriver has released a statement telling fans she is "heartbroken" by the scandal, and now she's gearing up for a divorce battle after hiring top Los Angeles lawyer Laura Wasser, according to People.com.
 
However, the website states the former TV anchor is still not sure whether she wants to end her marriage for good.
 
A source tells the publication, "Maria hasn't decided yet if she wants to end her marriage."
