Arnold Schwarzenegger's mistress 'is a superwoman to her daughter'

The daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger's former mistress has spoken out for the first time in defense of her mother.

Mildred Baena's daughter Jackie Rozo, 27, said she had 'no idea' that her half-brother was the politician's love child before it was revealed last week.

But she said the scandal has not changed her feelings about her mother.

"She's like a superwoman pretty much," the Daily Mail quoted Rozo as telling US Spanish language network Telemundo.

“She has always been there for us. For me and my brothers. That's why me and my brothers will always be there for her.

"I love my mother very much and she is a great inspiration for any woman out there working for their kids.

"My mother does not need to justify herself," Rozo said defiantly.
