Schwarzenegger, 31, also posted the announcement, sharing the same selfie of the pair as well as some details about her previous involvement with the Special Olympics.

"Special Olympics has always been a huge part of my life. My grandmother dedicated her entire existence to being an advocate for those with special needs and my childhood consisted of going to SOI events and my cousins and I being camp councilors at Camp Shriver," she wrote, referring to her grandmother Eunice Kennedy Shriver and mother Maria Shriver, who are both noted Special Olympics advocates.
