The shirt reads, "I survived Maria" (TMZ)

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- Arnold Schwarzenegger appears to be using his wardrobe to send a message to estranged wife Maria Shriver. The former governor recently donned a t-shirt that read, "I survived Maria."

Schwarzenegger was spotted wearing the shirt during a bike ride Sunday in Santa Monica.

The garment was designed by Shriver's staff as a joke and given to Schwarzenegger last November during a farewell party for his staff, TMZ is reporting.

The shirt, which originally had the dates 2007-2010 printed on the bottom, was altered to list the dates 1977-2010. Schwarzenegger and Shriver began dating in 1977.

The couple filed for divorce earlier this year after Schwarzenegger admitted to fathering a child with former housekeeper, Mildred "Patty" Baena.
