Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Joseph Baena is our interest as well as yours. Thus, we would let you know all the deets you need to know about him. It would make for an interesting read, sit back and enjoy the piece.
Biography of Joseph Baena
This child of Arnold was born on the 2nd day of October 1997 in Los Angeles, California, United States. At the time of his birth, his mother, Mildred Patricia Baena, worked in the home of The Terminator star and his then-wife, Maria Shriver.
Mildred was married to Rogelio de Jesus so Arnold was also still with his wife, American journalist, activist and bestselling author, John F. Kennedy’s niece, Shriver. The duo had an affair, both of them cheating on their partners. It only lasted from December 1996 to February 1997, but was long enough to give birth to a son, Joseph Baena.
She gave birth just five days after the birth of Arnold’s youngest child (Christopher) with his wife. Although she still worked from home while she nursed her baby, occasionally bringing her to work, Arnold claimed he had no idea the baby was his.
However, the puzzle was not to remain unsolved for long. Seven or eight years after his birth, probably on one of the occasions when he followed his mother to work, Schwarzenegger realized that the boy looked like him and he began to put the puzzle together. As soon as he realized the child was his son, he assumed his responsibilities as a father and began sending extra money to his maid without telling her about his epiphany.
But you know, the secret couldn’t be kept for long. As time went on, the duo weren’t the only ones aware of what was going on. Even Mrs. Schwarnezger was beginning to read the lines. A staunch supporter of her husband, having defended him for sexual misconduct on The Oprah Winfrey Show, she wasn’t ready for what would hit her next.
Nonetheless, she confronted him and probed deeper into the apparent mystery. She also constantly asked him if Joseph was her son, but he had to deny leaving. When he saw that his 25 years of marriage would come crashing down if he kept playing ignorant, he admitted the obvious in a marriage counseling meeting.
Finally, Joseph Baena was unmasked as the Governor’s former love, but unfortunately the revelation ended his marriage a few months later. Shriver ended their marriage by filing a divorce on the 2011 Golden Globe winner. Sure, it was a big scandal for the Schwarzenegger family, but Arnold did his best to keep his family together.
How did Joseph wreck the whole drama? According to his father, the young man fully understands the situation. Additionally, the father-son duo have since forged a close bond, with Joseph often sharing snaps of themselves and engaging in activities like working out and cycling together on Instagram.
Joseph Baena attended Frontier High School where he achieved excellent academic results. He graduated in 2015. Even though his father was not present, he gave him a jeep wrangler. After graduating, he continued his education at Pepperdine University, where he actively participates in college festivals and sports.

Joseph Baena siblings and mother
Joseph looks suspiciously like his father, oddly enough, more than his half-siblings. As mentioned earlier, his mother is Mildred Patricia Baena, a longtime housekeeper at Schwarznegger. He was raised by her, and despite being accepted by his father, he still chooses to call himself by Mildred’s surname.
Even though he’s hardly seen in the company of his siblings, he has plenty on both sides of his family. On Arnold’s side, Joseph has four half-siblings, including Katherine Schwarzenegger (b. 1989), Christina Schwarzenegger (b. 1991), Patrick Schwarzenegger (b. 1993) and his nearly twin brother, Christopher Schwarzenegger (b. 1997). His mother, who is Hispanic, had five children from her marriage, including Jackie Rozo.
