Arnold Schwarzenegger is an iconic figure in bodybuilding history. He has a total of 7 Olympia titles and has boosted the profile of professional bodybuilding more than any other winner of Mr. Olympia. Everyone knows Arnie is a spectacular bodybuilder, but his son Joseph Baena is no less.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s youngest child, Joseph Baena, came into the public eye in 2011 after reports that the Terminator actor is fathering a son with the family’s housekeeper.
Joe, aka Joseph Baena, resulted from an affair between Schwarzenegger and the family’s housekeeper, Mildred Baena (that began in 1996), who welcomed her son Joseph Baena on Oct. 2, 1997.
Schwarzy didn’t realize his son until he got a little older and began to resemble him. Besides these circumstances, it’s clear that Schwarzenegger is proud of his son no matter what, but it was actually Joseph who gave his father a lot to brag about him.
The actor has five kids and would be wrong to say that he favors Mildred Baena’s son the most, but it is evident that Arnie doesn’t let him feel different.
Joseph Baena Workout Outdoors Despite the Storm Hilary
Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s son Joseph Baena continues his workout despite a major storm. On Monday, the young star, 25, took to Instagram to share a Reel of him exercising amid Tropical Storm Hilary hitting Los Angeles. The video begins with the bodybuilder looking out on the street from inside the gym.
Joseph joked about the suggestions of staying indoors during the heavy rainfall to prioritize his physique and wrote:
‘Hey, don’t go outside today! There’s a hurricane coming.’
He then gazed at the cloudy sky, ripped off his shirt, and proceeded to work out in the rain flexing his bodybuilder physique and showing off his abs. He captioned the video:
‘Hilary just wanted a free show.’
No doubt, Baena looked just like his bodybuilder father as he displayed his muscles in the camera.
Joseph Baena’s Special Bond With His Father Arnold Schwarzenegger
Despite Schwarzenegger’s “very close” bond with his illegitimate son Joseph Baena, sources stated that his four children from his marriage to Maria Shriver harbor — reportedly hate their half-brother, Joseph.
The children all have a complex relationship with Mildred Baena, while Schwarzenegger has always constantly supported his son — including his college fees — and bought a house for her mother, Mildred Baena.
During the third episode, Austrian Oak spoke about his son Joseph in his self-titled Netflix docuseries, saying he is a “fantastic man” and commenting:
“He makes me feel proud.”
Arnie is very much proud of his son because he always tries hard. Since graduating from Pepperdine University in 2019, the young bodybuilder has been trying different career options, including being a real estate agent, fitness model, and DJ.
Just like his father, Joseph Baena shares a strong interest in both acting and bodybuilding, which he incorporates into his everyday life. Over the past few years, he has focused on his acting career. In 2022, he took on roles in two films, Chariot and Bully High.
