Arnold Schwarzenegger has made a rare comment regarding his ex-wife Maria Shriver. The actor and former Governor of California was attending Amazon's Upfront event in New York, where he humorously addressed his relationship with Shriver.

“Jingle All the Way was the greatest Christmas movie of all time,” said Schwarzenegger. “They play it the whole month of December. I know because my ex-wife calls me about the residual.”
The comment was friendly and rare, considering that Schwarzenegger steers clear of discussing Shriver and their past relationship with the media. His last comments were made in 2021, when he openly addressed the cause of their divorce while promoting his book "Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life."

"We didn’t have a fight. It’s just my f--- up, right? She said, 'Okay, this is what it is,' and then she decided to make a split, so it was her decision. But the fact is, we always made it very clear that the kids should not suffer because of that."
