It was reported that the divorce took so long because of the complication attached to the property settlement arrangement. However, an estimated $400 million is involved, according to sources.

The marriage hit the rocks over a decade ago when news leaked that the actor fathered a child with the housekeeper.

Though the duo had moved on, Arnold and Maria had maintained a cordial relationship.
