Arnold Schwarzenegger is the proud father of five children, four of whom he shares with his ex-wife Maria Shriver. Shriver filed for divorce from the "Terminator" star in May 2011, after 25 years of marriage, due to an alleged affair with his longtime housekeeper, Mildred Baena.

Mildred and the Hollywood veteran have a child together. Despite Arnold's scandal, the actor admitted that the situation was difficult for everyone. With the passage of time, his four children and his son with Mildred formed an incredible bond.

Christopher Schwarzenegger

Christopher, born in September 1997, is Arnold and Maria's youngest child. Because Christopher has no intention of pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, he has led a significantly less publicized life than his older siblings.

Although he desires a life away from the spotlight, Christopher can still be seen in various public engagements with his family, which has been involved not just only in show business but also in the world of politics.

In addition, the young man had recently graduated from the University of Michigan in 2020, and Arnold paid him a heartfelt but rare tribute on Instagram following his incredible achievement. The former politician wrote:

"Christopher, you are a champion, and I love you..."

In the Instagram photo, Christopher donned a black graduation gown and cap while holding a diploma. Overjoyed, the "Commando" actor penned that walking across the stage with Christopher was a proud moment for him.

Arnold also admired his youngest son for displaying his compassion, hard work, vision, sense of critical thinking, and selflessness during his time in college. The delighted father remarked that he simply could not wait for his son to reach the top of his field.

Christopher has undergone an incredible transformation in the two years since receiving his college diploma. On September 18, he was reportedly spotted in great physical shape at his brother Patrick's 29th birthday party.

At the Nobu Malibu, where Patrick's special occasion was held, Christopher wore a grey collared shirt, pair of blue pants, and sneakers. He also showed off his beard and messy curly hair.

Patrick's birthday celebrations quickly became a family affair. Christopher was joined at the event by his sisters, Christina and Katherine, and their parents, Arnold and Maria, were also in attendance.

Christopher captured the public's attention for the first time in July 2020, when he began his weight loss journey. He wore a football shirt and brown shorts that showcased his nearly-trimmed physique.

He was spotted the previous summer again, in July 2021, wearing a green pair of shorts and a white shirt, and he appeared to have lost even more weight. He had lunch in Beverly Hills at the time.

In November of that same year, Christopher displayed his even more slender physique for all to see. When he was in New York City with his mother, he was dressed in a black zip-up jacket and light gray chinos.

Christopher's four siblings all have successful careers that are on par with his. Katherine, his eldest sister, born in December 1989, graduated from the University of South California (USC) and is a successful book author.

The mother of two is also the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ambassador. Even though she was born into a political family, Katherine said she is uninterested in politics.
