Matthew Dowd found his love in the journalist, author, and activist Maria Shriver following two heartbreaking divorces. Well, it was in 2011 when Matthew Dowd's rumored to dating Shriver, the former wife of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, sparked.

Not to mention, Matthew & Maria publicly made their first joint appearance in November 2013 while attending Bobby Kennedy Jr and actress Cheryl Hines' wedding in Massachusetts after living in a recluse for several years. Their affair lasted for more than seven-year. 

In 2013 the romantic partners showed up at various events and functions each other's holding hands. Although both have been public about their relationship, they never got engaged or walked down the aisle. Likewise, a happy couple of Dowd and Shriver was also spotted on a leisure walk in May 2016 in the Brentwood neighborhood, L.A. The duo color-coordinated with their sportswear and enjoying their romantic moments. 

Well as of now, Dowd lives alone on a ranch in Texas outside a town of just 4,000, resting his life heavily on his faith after years of sorrow and loss.

Dowd to the Los Angeles Times in 2007 told that at the time the affair between him & Maria began, the twice-divorced Dowd was working on her husband's gubernatorial re-election campaign in California.
