She won't be back, baby: Citing irreconcilable differences, Maria Shriver is terminating her 25-year marriage to Arnold Schwarzenegger in the wake of his revelation that he fathered a 13-year-old son with their longtime housekeeper. Shriver is seeking joint custody of their two minor sons, aged 17 and 13, reports People, and she's looking for alimony and lawyers' fees from Schwarzenegger. It's estimated this could be one very expensive divorce for Schwarzenegger. (More entertainment stories.)
