Arnold Schwarzenegger In Affair With Brigitte Nielsen

Arnold Schwarzenegger is confirming that he had a "hot affair" with actress Brigitte Nielsen at a time he and Maria Shriver were dating and already living together.







Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brigitte Nielsen co-starred in the 1985 film "Red Sonja." Nielsen wrote in a memoir published last year that she and Schwarzenegger had an "outrageous affair" while making the movie and that she did know until later that he was involved with Maria Shriver.

In his memoir "Total Recall," coming out on Monday, Schwarzenegger writes that he and Nielsen did indeed have a "hot affair," but he knew it wouldn't last. In fact, their "fling" only made him realize that he wanted to marry Shriver.

Nielsen went on to marry Schwarzenegger's pal Sylvester Stallone, but the pair divorced after 19 months of marriage.
