Maria Owings Shriver Schwarzenegger (born November 6, 1955), better known as Maria Shriver, is an American television journalist and the First Lady of California.

Shriver was born in Chicago, Illinois, as the first child of the politician Sargent Shriver and his wife Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Her mother is a sister of the assassinated American President John F. Kennedy.

She was a TV news reporter for NBC's Dateline from 1989 until 2003. On February 3, 2004, Shriver told NBC she wished to be "relieved of duties at NBC News," citing the conflict of interest between her role as a journalist and her status as the First Lady of California. NBC News president Neal Shapiro did not refer to Shriver's decision as a resignation, however, and issued a statement calling Shriver's departure "an extended leave of absence."

Prior to her work at NBC, Shriver had co-anchored the CBS Morning News. She has won Peabody and Emmy awards and is the author of two best-selling books: What's Heaven and Ten Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Went Out Into The Real World.

Shriver married the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger on April 26, 1986. They have two daughters and two sons.

Upon her husband's election as the 38th Governor of California, she became the First Lady of California on November 17, 2003.
