Arnold Schwarzenegger and his family aren’t strangers to us any longer, but they’ve often just been part of history. In light of that, it’s high time we heard all about them. The family is already used to being in the spotlight, as you would expect when both parents are public figures in their respective fields. Nonetheless, it was a very public scandal, involving lies, secrets and infidelity that put them on everyone’s radar.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s children
Until 2011, everyone thought that the actor had only four children, well, everyone except the actor himself and the mother of his illegitimate child. Joseph Baena was only recently recognized as one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s children. Nevertheless, here is some information about the children of this “Jack of all trades”.
Katherine Schwarzenegger is not only the first child, but the first daughter of the estranged couple. She was born on December 13, 1989 and is currently an author. In 2010, she wrote a book about young women’s self-confidence and self-image issues, titled “Rock What You’ve Got: Secrets to Loving Your Inner and Outer Beauty from Someone Who’s Been There and Back” .

More recently in 2014, she posted another titled “I just graduated… Now what? Honest answers from those who have been there”. This title is as explicit as possible. Someone is definitely following in their mother’s footsteps.
Girls obviously came before boys in this family, because two years later, on July 23, 1991, Christina Schwarzenegger was born. The star’s second daughter is currently studying at Georgetown University.
His name is Patrick Schwarzenegger and he is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son who is subtly following in his father’s footsteps. Born on September 18, 1993, we can already see “Jack of all trades” engraved on his CV. Currently, he owns a clothing line that his parents helped him start when he was 15 years old. He’s also a model, testing the waters by playing. He’s only 22, so we’re preparing for the impact he will have.
Christopher Schwarzenegger is the last of ArnoldSchwarzenegger’s children with his estranged wife, Maria Shriver. He was born on September 27, 1997, just 5 days before his half-brother, Joseph Baena. He’s a little big compared to the rest of his siblings, but the younger Schwarzenegger looks fine to us anyway.
The baby of the family also happens to be illegitimate, but that’s a strong word since he’s been openly accepted into Schwarzenegger’s fold. Okay, we have no record of interacting with his older siblings, but the 18-year-old is definitely catching up with his old man.
The two have been spotted together a few times, once at the gym and again when they went on their bikes. Arnold is especially proud of his son, Joseph Baena, who is a straight “A” student. More so, Joseph may be following in his father’s footsteps, recently starring in a recreation of an iconic scene from “Terminator 2.” it was directed by his pal, Ben Hess, who aspires to succeed on the pitch.
So far, the such good children of Arnold Schwarzenegger are a good group, and they will undoubtedly always be watched under the prism of the media.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wife
She stood by him, she had his babies and at some point even gave up her career to support his political ambitions. Maria Shriver and her husband seemed to have the perfect family until scandal struck.
Maria Owings Shriver, was born on November 6, 1955. Apart from her many accomplishments, the former 1st Lady of California is related to the Kennedys on her maternal side. His mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, was a sister of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy. She is also an accomplished journalist, best-selling author and philanthropist.
She looks perfect, doesn’t she? Well, she has her own micro-scandal. At some point in 2014, it emerged that Schwarzenegger wasn’t the only one dating his wife, his beloved wife also had a side piece. Rumor has it that she was romantically involved with her husband’s campaign strategist, Matthew Dowd. Sources told Page Six: ‘After years of playing betrayed wife, Shriver, 60, recently exposed her longtime lover, Matthew Dowd, 54, as if he were a new fling’ .
If true, this “public sex scandal” came at just the right time. Apparently, the entire campaign team knew this little tidbit, because when Arnold wasn’t around, the pair flaunted their love. They both denied being involved prior to Maria’s estrangement from her husband and it had no ill effect on her name or family and everyone seems to have moved on.
