MARIA Shriver stood by Arnold Schwarzenegger when he ran for California's governorship in 2003, even after several women accused him of lecherous behavior.
On Friday, 25 years after their fairytale wedding on Cape Cod, she filed for divorce.
The former television journalist and Kennedy family heiress cited irreconcilable differences but offered no additional details about the breakup.
Shriver did not list a date when the couple separated, although they announced they had done so on May 9.
A week later, the former California governor admitted he fathered a child with a member of his household staff years ago.
The filing, which Shriver signed nearly two weeks ago, signals an end to a union that brought together a rising film action star and a princess of the Kennedy clan, herself an up-and-coming network newscaster.
Shriver's filing does not indicate the couple had a premarital agreement.
That means Schwarzenegger's earnings from a career as a Hollywood megastar, which allowed him to forgo a salary as governor and commute by private jet to Sacramento, likely will be evenly divided with his estranged wife.
Shriver and Schwarzenegger have four children together, including two sons who are still minors. Shriver's petition seeks joint custody of the teens, who are 17 and 13.
