Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Patrick has changed his name on his Twitter.com account following his dad's revelation he fathered a lovechild with a former household staffer, identified as Mildred Baena.
The 17-year-old student appears to be supporting his mother Maria Shriver as the family recovers from the scandal, opting to take her name in his online correspondence.
In his final tweet as Patrick Schwarzenegger on Tuesday (17May11), the teenager wrote, "some days you feel like s**t, some days you want to quit and just be normal for a bit, yet i love my family till death do us apart."
He changed his name on Twitter from Patrick Schwarzenegger to Patrick Shriver on Wednesday (18May11).
Schwarzenegger's 21-year-old daughter, Katherine, has also taken to Twitter to comment on the scandal and her parents' split, writing, "This is definitely not easy but I appreciate your love and support as i begin to heal and move forward in life. I will always love my family!"
Reports suggest the disgraced movie star's lovechild was born a week after Shriver gave birth to the couple's son Christopher.
