In the wake of the revelation that Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child with a member of his family's household staff, his wife Maria Shriver issued the following statement:

"This is a painful and heartbreaking time. As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment."

Shriver attended the taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show's farewell episode Tuesday.

What do you think of the way Arnold and Maria have publicly handled the situation?
