Major media outlets, from ABC News to USA Today, aren't hesitating to share the latest revelation in the Arnold Schwarzenegger scandal - the name of the "housekeeper-turned-baby-mama," as the New York Post puts it.

Mildred Patricia Baena, who usually goes by Patty, did cleaning and other chores for the family for more than two decades, until parting ways in January, according to TMZ.com.

According to "sources," she pursued Schwarzenegger in the late 1990s, and they had unprotected sex during their daytime encounters - never at night, TMZ writes.

He wasn't told of the child until the boy, now in his early teens, was a toddler, the account says.

The Post said that "she moved to a $250,000 house on a Bakersfield cul-de-sac with the boy" and quoted a neighbor as hearing last year that Schwarzenegger was involved in the purchase.

TMZ says it's a four-bedroom house with a pool.

News of the child came out after Schwarzenegger and wife Maria Shriver announced a supposedly amicable separation.
