On the eve of the California gubernatorial recall election, Arnold Schwarzenegger is embroiled in a love child scandal!

According to an article in the London paper, The Daily Mail, a Californian woman, Tammy Baker-Tousignant, has told pals that Arnold secretly fathered her son while he was already married to Maria Shriver.

Confronted by The ENQUIRER in front of her suburban home in Brea, Calif. -- where she lives with her husband, Tammy would only say: "I don't want to talk about this." Tammy previously denied the claim to the British press, and Arnold insists The Daily Mail story is not true.

But an inside source told The ENQUIRER that Tammy and Arnold were very close a decade ago.

"She was in her mid-20s when she and Arnold first met and struck up a friendship," said the source.

"She was a flight attendant aboard a private aircraft that Arnold frequently chartered.

"While Arnold was married, he was smitten by her bubbly personality.

"She was equally smitten by his celebrity status.

"A pal of Tammy's said that not only was there was an affair between Arnold and the Tammy but that Tammy claimed that her son was fathered by Arnold.

"When I contacted Tammy to ask about her pal's allegation, she denied that her son is Arnold's child.

"But when I pulled her son's birth certificate, I found that the father's name was blank!

"And even the woman herself admits that over the years many people have commented to her on how much her son bears a physical resemblance to Arnold."

The Schwarzenegger love child claim has also been made by several other women who knew Tammy at the time, according to the inside source.

A number of years ago rumors of Arnold's affair with Tammy began to leak out publicly. Several people knew about the rumors and word was getting out.

By the late 1990s, Maria Shriver got wind of it and arranged for Tammy to lose her job.

Reporter Wendy Leigh investigated the love child story for the London paper The Daily Mail and told The ENQUIRER: "Despite Tammy's denials, I researched this story for two months and I think it's right on."

But the inside source declared: "Although Tammy dismisses the allegations that Arnold is the father of her oldest son, she hasn't come forward yet with the DNA test that proves it isn't true.

"Until she does, the verdict is out on whether California's Republican candidate for governor fathered a love child."
