FAQs

Why did Arnold Schwarzenegger not attend his father's funeral? ›

One of the stories made up was the fact that he did not attend his father's funeral because of a body building competition that was going to happen in a couple of months. Arnold did actually attend his father's funeral and spoke to him shortly before he passed. More than 100 hours of footage was filmed.

Even though Schwarzenegger remains extremely close to all five of his children, the actor's four kids from his marriage to Maria Shriver still have nothing to do with Baena. Their half-sibling is the product of the actor's affair with the family's former housekeeper, Mildred Baena.

The young man revealed that during this time, his father helped him financially to get through college, and he is very grateful for that. But, right after he finished college, Arnold stopped financially supporting his son and said to him, “You're on your own.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Joseph Baena said that despite following in his dad's footsteps, he doesn't want to rely on the Terminator star's last name: "I'm trying to do things on my own." Joseph Baena doesn't want to be seen as just another nepo baby.

He is of Austrian and Guatemalan ancestry. In late 2010, at the age of 13, Baena learned that Arnold Schwarzenegger was his real biological father, when the media revealed the fact the day after Schwarzenegger's term as governor concluded.

Life proved to be ironic one more time with Arnold Schwarzenegger and his illegitimate son, Joseph Baena. He is the son the former action star had with the family's former housekeeper, Mildred Baena.

Political positions. Schwarzenegger is a member of the Republican Party. On September 7, 2007, Schwarzenegger said, "I am proud to be a member of the party of Abraham Lincoln. I am proud to be a member of the party of Ronald Reagan."

Arnold tells us that he's only fourteen and has been to forty-two funerals. That's way more than any white teenager he knows, but that's the main difference between Indians and whites.

In addition to bodybuilding and acting, Baena also received his real estate license after graduating from California's Pepperdine University in 2019.

Arnold Schwarzenegger eats an 80% vegan diet, which he said has helped lower his cholesterol. His go-to protein sources are eggs, salmon, chicken, veggie burgers, and protein shakes. Schwarzenegger eats steak, hamburgers, and Austrian wiener schnitzel when he wants a treat.

How did Joseph Baena find out Arnold was his dad? ›

He found out that Arnold was his father at the age of 13. Baena was interviewed by Men's Health for their March cover story earlier this year and during the interaction, Mildred Patricia Baena (Joseph's mother) revealed that her mother was the one who revealed to Joseph that Arnold was his father.

She won her divorce settlement to receive half of Schwarzenegger's net income since their date of marriage, which is $200+ million.

At one point, Schwarzenegger recalled admitting to wife Maria Shriver and their kids that he had an affair with their housekeeper Mildred Baena and fathered a son, Joseph Baena, now 25, with her.

Does Arnold Schwarzenegger get royalties? Schwarzenegger earns royalties from many of his projects, most notably Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, which nets him 20% of gross profits and more from TV airings, video sales, merchandise and more. (He made a lot of money for this film—more on that later!)

The bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Joseph Baena recently appeared on Good Morning Britain, where he addressed inevitable comparisons between himself and his famous father. The 25-year-old, who resembles Schwarzenegger, opened up about their bond and the journey they've shared so far.

Maria Shriver and Arnold are the parents to four children: Katherine, 34, Christina, 31, Patrick, 30, and Christopher, 26. But in 2011, the actor announced he had fathered another child, Joseph Baena, 26, with his longtime housekeeper Mildred Baena.
