'Maria has suspected this for a long time and she asked the housekeeper,' a source told the website. 'The housekeeper admitted it.
'Maria then went to Arnold and he confessed.'
Insiders also claim Baena was not fired from her position with the family as previously reported.
'Yes, her employment ended, but it ended without animosity,' the source added.
'She was upset with Arnold at the time and didn’t know what to do, she thought about going public, but it was a fleeting thought. Ultimately she didn’t want to hurt Arnold.'
