Those of you gunning for a big fat Schwarzenegger divorce will be disappointed to hear that the philandering former governor and his estranged wife, Maria Shriver, were spotted shopping for furniture together in Santa Monica yesterday. According to TMZ, the couple -- who separated after news broke that Arnold fathered a child with their housekeeper while Maria was pregnant with son Christopher -- had lunch at the Ivy, then moseyed across the street to peep some couches, beds and the like.
Maria had already reportedly been struggling with the decision about whether or not to end her marriage, and now...well, nothing says reconciliation like furniture shopping.
