The White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger is making waves on the internet not only because of that one iconic scene from the show but also because he’s slowly putting himself on the Hollywood map. Known as the son of famed former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick steps out of his father’s shadow to carve his own path.
With a handsome face and amazing physique, we know it’s not just his gym and diet regimen but also his good genes—and his girlfriend is very lucky to have him. Yes, the young actor is in a relationship and is currently engaged to model Abby Champion.
Patrick Schwarzenegger is in a committed relationship, far from Arnold’s past love affairs
Patrick Schwarzenegger has been in a happy relationship with fashion model Abby Champion since 2016, but US Weekly revealed they have met way back in 2015 after they were spotted in West Hollywood. The actor was 21 when he crossed paths with his then-18-year-old girlfriend. Over the years, they had maintained a low-key relationship despite their high-profile status.
In December 2023, the couple formally announced that they are engaged with plans to marry in 2024. Unfortunately, their jam-packed timetable got in the way, prompting the duo to postpone it until 2025.
Schwarzenegger’s romance story already sounds like a real-life fairytale as it is quite rare for celebrities to find solid relationships amid the chaotic world of Hollywood. It is unlike his father Arnold’s past affairs, which were quite tumultuous and controversial.
Before marrying his ex-wife Maria Shriver—they divorced in 2021—the former governor of California has had several romantic escapades, both serious and short-lived flings. His first known affair was with a college student named Barbara Outland in 1968, shortly after he moved to the US. The relationship did not last long as their goals didn’t align at the time: he was focused on his career, and Outland wanted to settle down.
His next girlfriend was with Hollywood hairdresser Sue Moray. They dated for four years and were in an open relationship. In 1977, he met his would-be wife, Maria Shriver, at a tennis tournament. He was still with Moray during this time.
When Schwarzenegger became ultra-famous in the ‘80s, he had a confirmed affair with movie costar Brigitte Nielsen, whom he reportedly dated while he was with Shriver. He rejected Nielsen and later proposed to Shriver, who rejected his marriage offer twice before finally saying yes.
His other alleged affairs included Gigi Goyette and Rachel Ticotin, both of which he never confirmed, although they spoke about their relationship with Schwarzenegger in public.
He was also involved with their housekeeper Mildred Baena, with whom he had a son named Joseph who remarkably had a striking resemblance with the actor.
The Schwarzenegger men have found their own happily ever after
Arnold Schwarzenegger is now in a loving relationship with physical therapist Heather Milligan. She is 27 years younger than him, but age did not prove to be a hindrance. The veteran actor also remains good friends with his ex-wife.
Patrick, on the other hand, is gearing towards his upcoming marriage with his fiancée. He said that he supports Champion’s choices when it comes to their wedding plans.
