Arnold Schwarzenegger Admits to 'Hot Affair' with Brigitte Nielsen

Arnold Schwarzenegger says his affair with his family's housekeeper wasn't the first time he cheated on Maria Shriver.

The action star and former California governor admits in his new autobiography to a "hot affair" with actress Brigitte Nielsen while they filmed Red Sonja in 1985 when he and Shriver were living together, Time magazine reports.

Schwarzenegger, now 65, never thought the relationship with Nielsen was serious and that the fling only convinced him to marry Shriver, he writes in Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, according to Time.

Brittny Gastineau Meets 20-Year-Old Half-Brother for First Time

Originally posted 01/12/2010 08:30AM

It's been more than two decades since Brittny Gastineau's father Mark, the legendary New York Jets player, left Brittny's mom Lisa for actress Brigitte Nielsen. But it wasn't until last week that Brittny met the fruit of that union: her half-brother Killian Marcus Gastineau, who's now 20.

Brittny had never before seen or spoken to Killian, who lives in Italy and works at a wine and champagne company. "I've always known I have a half-brother, I was told as a kid, but he was totally off the radar. It was like he didn't exist," Brittny tells PEOPLE.

But Brittny's mom bumped into Nielsen at Ivana Trump's wedding last year, and they exchanged phone numbers – and, surprisingly, pleasantries. Then, last week, Nielsen "texted my mom and said Marcus is in town and he'd love to meet me," says Brittny.
