Arnold Schwarzenegger’s professional life is unraveling as quickly as his family life.

The actor’s animated show the “The Governator” has been been halted, TMZ reports. This would have been his first acting gig since he left office as the Governor of California.
“In light of recent events, A Squared Entertainment, POW, Stan Lee Comics, and Archie Comics, have chosen to not go forward with the Governator project,” a rep for the show told the entertainment website.
“Governor Schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters and is not willing to commit to any production schedules or timelines,” a statement read.
It was not specified whether “The Governator” is simply on hold or if it’s completely off the table.
This decision is the result of the recent news that Schwarzenegger fathered a love child with former housekeeper Mildred “Patty” Baena. The child, a boy, was born on October 2, 1997 at Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank. CA. She was pregnant at the same time his wife Maria Shriver was pregnant with their youngest child Christopher. Christopher was born on September, 27, 1997-less than a week before his love child was born.
The boy’s birth certificate lists Baena’s then-husband, Rogelio Baena, as the father and she reportedly waited until the child was a toddler before she told the former governor he was the father.
The news broke after Schwarzenegger and Shriver announced they were splitting up after 25 years of marriage. In a joint statement, they described this as “A time of great personal and professional transition for each of us,” and said they would focus on raising their four children.
In “The Governator,” Schwarzenegger’s character was supposed to fight crime with the help of his wife and their four children. We’re guessing they may have to add and remove some members of his crime-fighting team.
