Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have come together to issue a statement following their 13-year-old son’s boogie boarding accident, which left him with broken ribs, broken bones and a collapsed lung.
Christopher Schwarzenegger is in a serious condition after he suffered a mishap while boogie boarding in Miami.
Shriver is currently fighting Schwarzenegger for financial support, but the pair has come together for the sake of their son.
Following the incident Shriver has remained by her son’s side in intensive care and Schwarzenegger has visited him.
“While it has been a very scary week, Christopher is surrounded by his family and friends,” the pair said in a joint media release. “He is a brave boy and is expected to make a full recovery.”
“She was shaken horribly,” the unnamed friend told People magazine.
“This is her baby,” the source says. “She has been at the hospital nonstop, 24-7. She is sleeping there. How much can she take right now?”
“It’s very hard on Maria but her friends and family are there with their love and support,” another unnamed source told the magazine.
“All the kids are visiting – they all adore and love each other and they are all there for each other.”
Court proceedings have begun between Shriver and Schwarzenegger after it was revealed in May 2011 that in 1997 Schwarzenegger fathered a love child with an employee.
