Arnold Schwarzenegger’s youngest son, Joseph Baena, is forging his own path in life, supported by his famous father. While some reports suggest that Joseph has been “shunned” by his half-siblings, the truth is more nuanced.

Joseph, a bodybuilder, fitness model, and actor, shares a close bond with Arnold, despite the complexities surrounding his birth. Arnold, in his Netflix documentary, candidly revealed his affair with their housekeeper, Mildred Baena, which resulted in Joseph’s birth during his marriage to Maria Shriver, who is the mother of his other four children.

It’s true that Joseph was not invited to his half-sister Katherine Schwarzenegger’s wedding to Chris Pratt in 2019. However, he graciously extended his well-wishes to the couple on Instagram, demonstrating his warmth and support. Sources claim that Katherine and her sister Christina have a limited relationship with Joseph, but it’s important to note that they were aware of his existence before his mother’s relationship with their father was exposed. Joseph spent his childhood around them, visiting the family mansion regularly.

Despite the occasional difficulties, Arnold has acknowledged the complexities of their relationship. In a 2015 interview with Howard Stern, he described Joseph as “terrific” and expressed his understanding of the challenging situation they all face. Arnold acknowledged the pain caused by his affair, expressing remorse and acknowledging that his family had suffered.

Joseph’s relationship with his father continues to thrive, evident at the recent LA premiere of Arnold’s Netflix series, FUBAR. While Joseph walked the red carpet alone, it’s important to remember that public appearances don’t always reflect the depth of personal connections. The Daily Mail reported that he didn’t meet up with his half-siblings at the event, but this could simply be a matter of individual schedules or personal preferences.

It’s clear that Joseph and Arnold share a strong bond built on mutual respect and a love for fitness. Joseph spoke highly of his father, describing him as supportive and motivating. He emphasized Arnold’s guidance to work hard and practice, paralleling the gym’s principles. They enjoy training together and support each other’s projects.
