In the Netflix docuseries titled &#8220;Arnold,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arnold-schwarzenegger-deliberately-farted-in-my-face-actress-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">75-year-old</a> actor said he revealed the affair during a counseling session, admitting the relationship with he had with Mildred Baena, and that he was the biological father of her son, Joseph Baena, now 25, <a href="https://people.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-recalls-moment-he-told-maria-shriver-child-with-maid-7506126?hid=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;did=9323016-20230605&amp;utm_source=ppl&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=people-news_newsletter&amp;utm_content=060523&amp;lctg=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc">People magazine</a> reported.
&#8220;Maria and I went to counseling once a week,&#8221; Schwarzenegger said. &#8220;And in one of the sessions the counselor said, &#8216;I think today Maria wants to be very specific about something. She wants to know if you are the father of Joseph.&#8217; And I was like — I thought my heart stopped, and then I told the truth.&#8221;

&#8220;&#8216;Yes, Maria, Joseph is my son,'&#8221; he added. &#8220;She was crushed because of that. I had an affair in &#8217;96. In the beginning I really didn&#8217;t know. I just started feeling the older he got the more it became clear to me and then it was really just a matter of how do you keep this quiet? How do you keep this a secret?&#8221;
The actor also admitted he&#8217;s reluctant to talk about it because &#8220;every time I do it opens up the wounds again.&#8221;
&#8220;I think that I have caused enough pain for my family because of my f*** up,&#8221; the &#8220;Terminator&#8221; star said. &#8220;Everyone had to suffer. Maria had to suffer. The kids had to suffer. Joseph. His mother. Everyone.&#8221;
&#8220;I am going to have to live with it the rest of my life,&#8221; he added. &#8220;People will remember my successes and they will also remember my failures. This is a major failure. I had failures in the past in my career, but this is a whole different ball game, dimension of failure.&#8221;
&#8220;It was wrong what I did. But I don’t want to make Joseph feel that he is not welcomed in this world — because he is very much welcomed in this world,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I love him and he has turned out to be an extraordinary young man.&#8221;

Jeffrey Epstein reportedly learned that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had an affair with a young Russian woman and later appeared to threaten to expose the tryst if Gates refused to do business with him.
The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/jeffrey-epstein-bill-gates-affair-russian-bridge-player-8b2022ff">reported</a> that Gates met Russian bridge player Mila Antonova in 2010 when she was in her 20s and he was in his mid-50s.
Epstein met Antonova in 2013 and paid for her to attend software coding school. After she graduated, and while Epstein was trying to get Gates to join a project he was working on, Epstein reportedly sent Gates an email asking to be reimbursed for her schooling.
The amount of money the schooling cost was trivial for people as wealthy as Epstein or Gates, the report said.
Sources told the publication that the email implied that Epstein could expose the affair if Gates cut off his ties to Epstein.
&#8220;Mr. Gates met with Epstein solely for philanthropic purposes,&#8221; a spokesperson for Gates said. &#8220;Having failed repeatedly to draw Mr. Gates beyond these matters, Epstein tried unsuccessfully to leverage a past relationship to threaten Mr. Gates.&#8221;
The spokesperson said that Gates did not make the payment.
Epstein reportedly sent the message after Gates declined to join a multibillion-dollar charitable fund that he was trying to create with JPMorgan Chase that would have paid Epstein millions of dollars in fees and would help to rehabilitate his image after he pled guilty to soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution in 2008.
Gates had over a half dozen meetings scheduled with Epstein beginning in 2011 that included trips to Epstein’s private residence in New York, according to the report.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abc-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a> officially canned both “Good Morning America 3” anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes on Friday following their alleged affair.
“After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, about different options, we all agreed it’s best for everyone that they move on from ABC News,” an ABC News spokesperson <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/tj-holmes-amy-robach-exit-abc-news-decision-1235303357/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions.”
Their removal from the network comes after the company completed an internal investigation into the matter.
On November 30, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gma-co-anchors-both-married-canned-after-report-of-clandestine-affair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> an exclusive report alleging that the two anchors, both of whom were married and have children, were “locked in a passionate romance despite both being married to their respective spouses for the past 12 years.”
Speaking on an editorial call following the revelation, ABC News President Kim Godwin announced that the couple had been removed, calling the imbroglio an “internal and external distraction.”
Godwin argued that the relationship had not violated company policy, but said, “I have really taken the last few days to think about and work through what I think is best for the ABC News organization.&#8221;
“This is something I’m not going to talk, we’re not going to talk about on this call until there is more to be said,” Godwin warned. “I’m asking that we stop the whispering in the hallways. You know, we can’t operate with gossip, and speculation and rumors. We need to stay focused on the work. … If you think there is something that management needs to know, you can always call HR or, as we’ve said, talk to a manager that you trust. If you think there is something that we need to know.”
Holmes, 45, has a nine-year-old daughter with wife, attorney Marilee Fiebig, 44, and another daughter and son from a prior relationship; Robach, 49, has two daughters from her first marriage and her husband, former “Melrose Place” actor Andrew Shue, 55, has three sons.

U.S.

<div>
Good Morning America 3 host T.J. Holmes, who has been suspended after news of his affair with co-host Amy Robach was revealed in November, has been called a “predator” by someone who allegedly knows well the young woman whom Holmes reportedly had an affair with when she was just 24.
</div>
<div>
Holmes was 37 at the time of the alleged 2015 affair with Jasmin Pettaway, who was hired as a script coordinator. Holmes had been married to his now-estranged wife, Marilee Fiebig, for five years at the time.
</div>
<div>
“He was a predator who took full advantage of his position, and he was reckless,” the source told <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11649639/T-J-Holmes-sex-office-ABC-intern-13-years-junior.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail</a>, which <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11478421/GMA-hosts-Amy-Robach-T-J-Holmes-seen-looking-cozy-NYC-secret-romance-revealed.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broke the news</a> of Holmes’ affair with Robach, who was also married, at the end of November.
</div>
<div>
“Holmes was someone who would grab drinks and he and Jasmin started doing that,” the source continued. “You must remember he was a correspondent at the time and he&#8217;s taking time to speak to her about work or whatever. I don&#8217;t know how long that had been going on before it got sexual, but I do know the first time it did was in his office, and he was about to go on air in a couple of hours.&#8217;
</div>
<div>
“&#8217;They had sex and I know she was confused afterwards as to what it meant,” the source claimed. “That kind of ‘Did that just really happen?’ feeling. I mean that&#8217;s pretty risky behavior on his part.”
</div>
<div>
The source recalled an incident when Holmes “got handsy” with Pettaway in a highly public place, saying, “He just didn&#8217;t seem to care. You know he&#8217;s wearing his ring. He has a wife; he has a relatively high-profile job, but he wasn&#8217;t acting like he was concerned about either of those things at the time.”
</div>
<div>
“What&#8217;s that saying? ‘Rome wasn&#8217;t built in a day, but it burned in one,’” the source asked rhetorically. “That&#8217;s how it went with Jasmin and T.J. It didn&#8217;t last long but you have to wonder if he ever invested in being a mentor at all? &#8230; Jasmin was a beautiful girl and he had it all on his terms. He was interested and then he wasn&#8217;t. This was a young woman, starting out in a difficult industry, looking for role models and mentors and she got T.J.”
</div>
<div>
Pettaway later became a segment producer for GMA; she currently works as a casting producer for ITV America.
</div>
<div>
Holmes also reportedly had an affair with married GMA producer Natasha Singh starting in 2016. The Daily Mail reported that one executive producer for GMA, apprised that Holmes was a “huge liability,” “didn&#8217;t want to know.”

T.J. Holmes&#8217;s estranged wife, Marilee Fiebig, is speaking out for the first time since his romantic relationship with his “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/good-morning-america">Good Morning America</a>” co-host Amy Robach started making headlines.
Fiebig&#8217;s divorce lawyer, Stephanie Lehman, released a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11592417/GMAs-T-J-Holmes-estranged-wife-Marilee-breaks-silence.html">statement</a> to the Daily Mail this week.
&#8220;During the holiday season and in light of the challenging times, Marilee&#8217;s sole focus has remained on the overall best interest of her 9-year-old daughter,&#8221; Fiebig shared in the update via her attorney. 
&#8220;To that end T.J.&#8217;s lawyer and I have been working together to move their divorce forward privately, expeditiously and as amicably as possible. Notwithstanding, we continue to be disappointed by T.J&#8217;s lack of discretion, respect and sensitivity toward Marilee and the party&#8217;s daughter.&#8221;
The statement concluded with a message for supporters, saying Feibig &#8220;has been touched by the outpouring of support&#8221; and is looking forward &#8220;to a new beginning in this new year.&#8221;
Holmes and Fiebig have been married for 12 years. Meanwhile, Robach and her husband, former Melrose Place actor Andrew Shue, have been married for the same amount of time.
The scandal erupted in late November when reports revealed the affair between the “GMA” co-hosts. The situation became so extreme that they were suspended from their jobs.
“They had been close friends for many years but this relationship started over the past few months, after they separated from their respective spouses in August. They had not told anyone, even at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abc-news">ABC</a>, because they were waiting until they both were divorced,” a representative for Holmes and Robach stated, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/05/business/media/abc-news-holmes-robach.html">per</a> The New York Times.
Holmes and Robach have since been spotted together multiple times and seem to still be involved with each other. They were caught on camera kissing on December 30 and were most recently <a href="https://people.com/tv/amy-robach-t-j-holmes-step-out-together-miami/">seen</a> visiting a Miami convenience store together. 
The co-hosts made light of the situation while they were still employed and just after the news broke of their respective affairs. As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gma-co-anchors-both-married-canned-after-report-of-clandestine-affair">reported</a>, they made little jokes on the show the same week their relationship was revealed.
“You know, it’s too bad it’s Friday. It’s been a great week,” Holmes said, which made Robach laugh and reply, “Is it?”
“I just want this one to keep going and going and going,” Holmes replied. “Just enjoy it. Take it all in.”
“Speak for yourself. I’m excited about the weekend. And I’m sure everyone else is, too,” Robach said. “We all love our Fridays around here. Some of us do, at least.”
