It turns out that Joseph Baena, 21, is living a charmed life. His father is Arnold Schwarzenegger and his mother was, of course, the family housekeeper when Arnold was married to Maria Shriver. His birth broke up the Schwarzenegger-Shriver marriage, but Arnold and Maria eventually became friendly again. Arnold sent Joseph to college at Pepperdine University to get a business degree (he also plays rugby for the college team.) Joseph is the only son interested in bodybuilding and Arnold is delighted, and spends hours coaching him in the gym. Joseph plans to compete in his first bodybuilding competition soon.

What’s astonishing is how much he looks like Arnold–much more resemblance there than among any of the Shriver spawn.
Their family dynamic doesn’t work for everyone, but credit to AS for stepping up to his responsibilities–and handling the consequences of his actions as a REAL MAN should.
And Mildred is the luckiest woman who ever answered an ad calling for “light dusting”… 😀
Notice there are no women around him
………………enjoy it while you can.
Arnold should get a paternity test, which allegedly never happened. Joseph Baena actually looks more like his mother than anyone else.
Joseph is built just like his dad. He also looks a lot like him. He probably got interested in bodybuilding as a way to get closer to his dad, and I get that. It must be hard to have half-siblings who don’t want anything to do with you. And honestly, I get that, too. They didn’t ask to be put in this awkward situation. I respect Arnold for stepping up, taking responsibility, and being a father to Joseph.
