A recent red carpet appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger and his children has sparked interest in the actor’s family dynamics. Specifically, the relationship between his children with ex-wife Maria Shriver and his son Joseph Baena, born out of an affair with their former housekeeper, Mildred Baena.
The premiere of Schwarzenegger’s new show “FUBAR” brought together his children, including Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher. However, Joseph Baena, who bears a striking resemblance to his father, appeared to be kept at arm’s length by his half-siblings.
According to sources, Schwarzenegger’s children with Shriver do not have a close relationship with Joseph. The insider claims that they “don’t love” Joseph, who is allegedly punished for his father’s infidelity. This has resulted in Joseph often being excluded from family gatherings and celebrations.
Despite this, Schwarzenegger is said to be close to Joseph and has been spotted attending events with him. The actor has also been supportive of Joseph’s pursuits, including his bodybuilding career and acting endeavors.
Joseph has expressed his admiration for his father, calling him the “most intelligent and best man” he knows. The two have been working out together at Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles, and Schwarzenegger has proudly shared photos of their bonding moments on social media.
The complex family dynamics have been a subject of interest for years, particularly since Schwarzenegger’s affair with Mildred Baena was made public in 2011. The scandal led to the end of his 25-year marriage to Shriver.
As the Schwarzenegger family continues to navigate their complicated relationships, it remains to be seen how Joseph will be integrated into the family fold. For now, it appears that Schwarzenegger is making an effort to maintain a close relationship with his son, despite the challenges posed by his other children.
