At 77 years old, Arnold Schwarzenegger recently enjoyed the premiere of ‘The White Lotus’ alongside his son, Patrick, who is 31 years old. Patrick has secured a role in the highly-anticipated third season of the HBO series, stepping into the entertainment scene just like his famous father and sibling.
The legendary ‘Terminator’ actor and former governor of California shares four children with Maria Shriver, who is 69 years old.

Additionally, it was revealed in 2011 that Schwarzenegger has another son, Joseph Baena, 27, from a previous relationship with their housekeeper. Despite a challenging family history, Arnold maintains a close relationship with all five of his children, though not all of them seek the spotlight.
Spotlight on the Schwarzenegger Siblings
Katherine Schwarzenegger, the eldest of the five, was born on December 13, 1989, in Los Angeles. She achieved the status of a ‘New York Times’ bestselling author at just 21 with her debut book ‘Rock What You’ve Got’. Katherine graduated from the ‘University of Southern California’ in 2012 and has since published more works, while also championing animal rights.
She is married to Hollywood actor Chris Pratt, whom she connected with in 2018, tying the knot a year later. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Lyla, in 2020, followed by another daughter, Eloise, and their son, Ford Fitzgerald, in 2024.
Christina, born on July 23, 1991, is more private compared to her siblings. After graduating from ‘Georgetown University’ in 2013, she pursued interior design at the ‘Parsons School of Design’ and has contributed to Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand, Goop. Christina is also passionate about supporting the Special Olympics and co-produced the Netflix documentary ‘Take Your Pills’ in 2018, which addressed her own experiences with addiction.
Patrick, born on September 18, 1993, has made waves as an actor and model. He made his film debut with a cameo in ‘The Bankers’ (2006) and has since been featured in ‘Moxie’ (2021), ‘The Staircase’ (2022), and is set to appear in ‘American Sports Story’ (2024). Recently, he announced his engagement to Abby Champion, 27, after dating since September 2015.
Christopher, the youngest son born on September 27, 1997, tends to keep a low profile. He graduated from the ‘University of Michigan’ in 2020, and Arnold expressed his pride in Christopher’s character and achievements on social media. He has been dedicated to fitness, successfully overcoming childhood obesity through an active lifestyle.
Lastly, Joseph Baena, born on October 2, 1997, is known as Schwarzenegger’s son with his housekeeper. Initially kept a secret, his identity became apparent as he grew older. Joseph has developed a strong bond with his father, often seen training together. He is now a bodybuilder and fitness model, actively pursuing a career in real estate and acting. Joseph participated in ‘Dancing With the Stars’ in 2022 and acted in the film ‘Gunner’, showcasing his diverse talents.
