Maria Shriver looks different without makeup in LA

Maria Shriver looked noticeably different when she was spotted enjoying a sunlit stroll in Los Angeles this week apparently without makeup.

The 66-year-old, a scion of the Kennedy family who used to be married to Arnold Schwarzenegger, beamed as she ambled up the street.

Her current appearance provoked a strong reaction from fans, who expressed their shock at her new look on social media.

‘What did Maria Shriver do to her face? Horrifying,’ exclaimed one Twitter user. 

Another wrote in disbelief that ‘someone had to photoshop that photo.’

Maria, whose maternal uncle was John F. Kennedy, married Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1986 in the Kennedy hot spot of Hyannis, Massachusetts. 

John F. Kennedy’s daughter Caroline served as maid of honor to Maria, who returned the favor as Caroline’s matron of honor the following year.

Over the course of their marriage, Arnie and Maria welcomed four children – Katherine, 32, Christina, 31, Patrick, 28, and Christopher, 24. 

Maria left Arnold in 2011 after it emerged that he had fathered a son called Joseph by the family’s housekeeper Mildred Baena.

The divorce was not finalized until last year, although Maria and Arnold both dated other people in the intervening time.

Maria reportedly conducted a romance with political pundit Matthew Dowd, who was a strategist for Arnie during his reelection campaign for California governor.

Meanwhile Arnold for years has been involved with a blonde physical therapist called Heather Milligan, who at 47 is more than a quarter-century his junior.

Arnold and Maria have retained an amicable relationship, getting together with their children for such occasions as Arnie’s birthday.
