In 2003, Schwarzenegger was elected to the office of governor of California. Per Time, his early campaign was plagued with accusations of sexual misconduct, but his wife defended him. "You can listen to all the negativity, and you can listen to people who have never met Arnold, or who met him for five seconds 30 years ago. Or you can listen to me," she said at the time.

In 2011, Schwarzenegger left office and the two celebrated 25 years of marriage. Just days after their anniversary, they announced their divorce.

The couple's divorce – citing "irreconcilable differences" – took 10 years to become final after a sitting judge signed off on the agreement, which was held up because of their tricky property settlement. (Getty Images)
