The 68-year-old action man and 60-year-old journalist have not even shared why they have not officially divorced according to a Sunday report from the gossip site.

It is quite an interesting move as Arnold has dated Heather Milligan for years and Maria has since moved on with Matthew Dowd.

Maria and Arnold ended their marriage in May 2011 after it was revealed he had fathered a child, named Joseph, 19, with the couple's house keeper Mildred Baena.

The Terminator star was not aware Joseph was his son until seven or eight years after he was born.

In their 25 year marriage, Shriver and Schwarzenegger welcomed four children - Katherine, 26, Christina, 24, Patrick, 22, and Christopher, 18.

Things seem to be cordial between the two as they have never had custody issues over their children and even get together for their children's milestones including son Christopher's birthday last month.

The couple did not sign a prenup and TMZ reports that they basically had worked out a property settlement several years ago as they divvied up their estimated $400 million fortune.

The gossip site even described a few theories over why the two have yet to split including it being too painful for either party to move on from $200 million.

TMZ also reports that there are others who believe it could be because Maria is very religious and does not believe in divorce but Arnold could end it if he wanted.

During a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' thread in 2014, Arnold was asked about the things he's least proud of and he answered: 'I'm least proud of the mistakes I made that caused my family pain and split us up.'
