It was said that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Joseph Baena, who was born following an affair with the family’s housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena, was not extended an invitation to his half-brother Patrick’s wedding.
On September 6, the captivating 31-year-old star from The White Lotus got married to Abby Champion, in the beautiful town of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
Nonetheless, it appears that the 27-year-old weightlifter, sharing the same age as his half-brother Christopher Schwarzenegger, was not included in the invite list, based on a recent report by TMZ published on Monday.
Arnold, aged 78, has daughters Katherine (age 35) and Christina (age 34), along with sons named Patrick and Christopher. These children are shared with his former wife, Maria Shiver, who is also 69 years old.
Joseph discovered much later, at the age of 13, that Arnold – whom he had been emulating in both bodybuilding and acting – was actually his biological father, as he had grown up unaware of this fact.
The news became a nationwide scandal in 2011.


Arnold and Maria announced their separation on May 10, 2011.
During that period, they issued a shared announcement expressing that it was a significant phase of both personal and professional change for all of them.
Following careful contemplation, introspection, brainstorming, and contemplative moments, we reached this collective conclusion.
In simpler terms, the ex-pair acknowledged they’d been separated and were dealing with what would become of their relationship.
In unison, they expressed, ‘We’re both still co-parenting our four kids. They are the beacon and focal point in each of our lives.’
Just one week later the Terminator star came clean about his marital affair.
In a statement given to the Los Angeles Times, he shared that after vacating his role as governor, approximately a decade past, he confided in his spouse about an occurrence that took place.
‘I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family.
I acknowledge that there were no valid reasons for the pain I inflicted. I accept complete accountability for my actions. I’ve already expressed my sincere apologies to Maria, my children, and my family. I am genuinely remorseful.



Maria filed for divorce on July 1, 2011.
During an interview with Men’s Journal in December 2017, the ex-California governor candidly discussed his high-profile extramarital relationship.
The article quotes him as saying, “I can criticize myself all I want, but it won’t affect the current situation. What truly matters is learning how to progress and foster a wonderful bond with my children.”
Or, in a more conversational tone:
The article shares his thoughts: “No matter how much I blame myself, it doesn’t change the circumstances at hand. The real focus should be on moving forward and cultivating a fantastic relationship with my kids.
He stated, “You can’t rewind – if I genuinely had the ability to be a Time Traveler like the Terminator character, I would certainly go back in time and warn ‘Arnold… no.’
And he noted, ‘You know, it’s always easy to be smart in hindsight. That’s not the way it works.’
According to reports, it appears that Joseph did not attend the FUBAR Season Two premiere in June, where all of his half-siblings were present, suggesting that he may not have a relationship with them.
Arnold posed with his and Maria’s four kids, and later posed separately with Joseph.
