14 DAY TRIAL // Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have put all differences aside and are willing to give their apparently doomed marriage another try. Photos show the two again wearing their wedding rings.
The star's marriage imploded last year when word got out in the press that he'd been having an affair with a housekeeper who had lived with the family for about 10 years.
As if that wasn't enough, it also emerged that he'd fathered a child out of wedlock and, what was perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back, that he'd known about it and hid it from Maria, even raising the boy in the same house.
Maria moved out of the house and filed for divorce, which sent the media into a frenzy of speculation over how much money she'd make off the divorce, since she and Arnold hadn't signed a prenup before tying the knot.
It would seem the two have managed to put all of the above behind them: for the past couple of days, Arnold has been photographed with his wedding ring on, TMZ reports.
Unless he's using as a regular piece of jewelry to better accessorize, there's no other explanation than that they're back on.
“Arnold Schwarzenegger rocked his wedding ring out in public during the holidays – another sign that his marriage to Maria Shriver ain't as dead as it once seemed,” the e-zine writes.
“Arnold hadn't been photographed in his wedding band in months, but over the past few days – Arnold dusted off the ol' ring and reminded the world he's STILL a married man,” adds the same publication.
Just recently, Maria too was snapped with some bling on her wedding finger, though it's hard to say if it's her wedding ring or not.
“Maria Shriver sure knows how to ring in the new year – just days after Arnold Schwarzenegger wore his wedding ring out in public... his divorce-shy, estranged wife was sporting something on her wedding ring finger, though it's not clear if it's the real deal,” TMZ says.
Considering that Maria is believed to be the one who initiated talks of reconciliation because of her religious beliefs, it wouldn't be that far-fetched to assume she too is wearing her wedding band.
