(CBS/AP) MALIBU, Calif. – Katherine Schwarzenegger, the eldest daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, says she fled to London after her parents separated, in part to escape a storm of unwanted attention.

The 21-year-old told Harper’s Bazaar magazine she wanted to “go away and realize that it’s not as big a deal in other places.”

Shriver and the former California governor are in the midst of a divorce, after Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed in May he fathered an out-of-wedlock child with a former housekeeper.

Katherine did not mention her now-teenaged half-brother in the interview, 고창출장만남 while discussing what she calls “definitely a difficult time.”

She said she tries “not to care about what other people … think,” but that she’s been consoled by Twitter messages from supporters.

“I really do believe everything happens for a reason,” she added. “A lot of the time, it’s hard to understand in the moment why things are happening, but I really do think that. I also like to think God doesn’t really give you anything you can’t handle.”

“Even when I was little, I was glued to her all the time. I’m close to my dad, but they’re totally different kinds of relationships,” she added. “I talk to my mom about six times a day, and we constantly e-mail in between that. People say that I’m her twin. I guess it would be the Kennedy genes; my cheekbones are coming out. We’ll be at the breakfast table and my mom will look over at me and say, ‘I see them!'”
