Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Arnold Schwarzenegger's Children

From Men's Health

Arnold Schwarzenegger—one of our October cover stars—is a proud father, and he's always been open about how much he loves being a dad.

"Fatherhood is really the greatest joy. Watching all five of my kids grow into their own successful lives is fantastic. Spending time with them, working out together, answering their questions makes me so happy," Schwarzenegger told Men's Health in 2018. "They were also all there for me after my surgery [Schwarzenegger had surgery in March 2018 to replace a heart valve], so you start to realize, wow, they are really growing up and now it’s not just me pumping them up. We are all pumping each other up."

Here's what you need to know about Arnold Schwarzenegger's five children.

Katherine Schwarzenegger, 29

Katherine is Schwarzenegger's first child with journalist and author Maria Shriver. Katherine graduated from in USC in 2012 (her dad delivered the commencement address in 2009), and she wrote a book called I Just Graduated . . . Now What? in 2014 as a survival guide for recent college grads. She had previously authored the self-help book Rock What You've Got in 2010.

Katherine started dating Chris Pratt in 2018, and they got married in 2019.

Christina Schwarzenegger, 28

Christina graduated from Georgetown (her mother Maria Shriver's alma mater) in 2013. In 2018, she co-produced the 2018 Netflix documentary Take Your Pills, which focused on Adderall addiction on college campuses and in the workplace. She’s also an assistant editor at Goop.

Patrick Schwarzenegger, 25

Patrick also attended USC, and he graduated in 2016 with a degree in business. Patrick minored in cinematic arts, and he's serious about becoming an actor. The LA Times reported that in high school, Patrick took private lessons from acting coach Nancy Banks, who has also coached actors such as Margot Robbie and Chris Pine.

Patrick has appeared in movies including Grown Ups 2 and Midnight Sun, and you'll see him in the upcoming psychological thriller Daniel Isn't Real.

He also franchised and opened the first Blaze Pizza in Los Angeles, and his clothing company, Project360, donates a percentage of proceeds to various charities.

Christopher Schwarzenegger, 21

Christoper is the most low-key of Schwarzenegger and Shriver's kids. He's currently attending the University of Michigan.

Joseph Baena, 21

Joseph is the child of Schwarzenegger and Mildred Patricia Baena. The 21-year-old graduated from Pepperdine University in 2019 with a degree in business administration, and he seems interested in following in his father's bodybuilding career.
