Maria Shriver hinted at personal troubles in a minute-long video she posted her Web site in March — less than two months before announcing her separation from husband of 25 years, Arnold Schwarzenegger. On Wednesday, he spoke out, saying, “We love each other very much.”
“Like a lot of you, I’m in transition,” Shriver says. “People are asking me, ‘What are you doing next? What ideas are you going to come up with?”

Shriver then asks her Web audience to let her know how they faced “personal, emotional, spiritual and professional” transition.

“This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us,” they said. “After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion and prayer, we came to this decision together. At this time, we are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship.”
