Arnold Schwarzenegger faced ‘tough’ repercussions after divorce: 'I have caused enough pain for my family'

Body-building athlete to Hollywood actor turned politician, Arnold Schwarzenegger candidly speaks out about his personal life in a new documentary.

"The Terminator" star Arnold Schwarzenegger is back and getting personal in a new all-encompassing documentary.

In a trailer for his three-part series "Arnold," the former California governor reflected on his divorce from Maria Shriver after 25 years of marriage.

"I have caused enough pain for my family," Schwarzenegger, 75, remarked. "I’m going to have to live with it the rest of my life."

The actor noted, "People will remember my successes, and they will also remember those failures."

"It was very tough…on my marriage, on my relationship with the kids," he continued. 

Shriver and Schwarzenegger decided to call it quits in 2011, citing "irreconcilable differences."

The two filed for divorce after Shriver discovered her now ex-husband had secretly fathered a child with the family's housekeeper Mildred Baena in 1996. 

Schwarzenegger and Shriver share sons, Patrick and Christopher, along with their daughters, Christina and Katherine.

Schwarzenegger also has a fifth child with Baena, named Joseph, who is a fitness fanatic and actor like his father.

From becoming a body-building athlete to Hollywood actor turned politician, Schwarzenegger candidly spoke about his intense life journey while his family was seemingly falling apart.

Throughout the "Arnold" trailer, Schwarzenegger showcased his fitness journey, being in the Hollywood spotlight and his campaign for becoming the governor of California.

After being injured, Schwarzenegger noted that his athletic days were "over."

"But the only thing that no one can take from you is your mind."

Schwarzenegger’s Hollywood career skyrocketed after the release of the wildly popular film "The Terminator," but he confessed he was "looking for another challenge."

"There are problems and problems, but I want to do the things that everyone calls impossible," he said in the Netflix documentary trailer.
