Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Joseph Baena, is approaching in his father’s footsteps by becoming more involved in acting in recent years.
Joseph Baena will make his big-screen debut in the upcoming sci-fi film The Chariot.
The 24-year-old aspiring actor shared a throwback photo of himself with his mother, Mildred Baena, holding balloons and a friend flashing a peace sign.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Son Joseph Baena Wikpedia
Joseph Baena was born in 1997 to the Hollywood star’s former housekeeper. The affair became public after Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped down as governor of California in 2011. At the time, Baena was in the eighth grade.
In January, Baena discussed his relationship with Schwarzenegger during an appearance on the “Unwaxed” podcast hosted by Sylvester Stallone’s daughters Sophia and Sistine Stallone in January.
When Joseph was born in 1997, his Guatemalan-born mother Mildred worked as a housekeeper for Arnold and his then-wife, Maria Shriver.
Mildred never told anyone that his child’s father was her boss Arnold. However, in 2011, when Joseph was a young adolescent, he began to resemble the action.
Then it was revealed that Arnold had fathered his maid’s child, which surprised Maria. But it was not Mildred who informed Joseph that Arnie was his father. Instead, it was his grandmother who did the grunt work.
And Mildred must have done an excellent job of guiding Joseph through those difficult post-scandal years, as he appears to have matured into a grounded and well-rounded young man.

Joseph Baena Siblings Details
Joseph Baena has four half-siblings, Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher, who are children from his father.
Katherine and Christina appear to be adamantly opposed to Joseph. When Katherine married actor Chris Pratt in 2019, among the well-wishes on Katherine’s Instagram was a simple “Congratulations!” followed by heart emojis from Joseph.
Given that half-brother Joseph was not invited to the wedding, this appears to be a generous offer.
However, sources close to the family say that Patrick and Christopher Schwarzenegger, like everyone else involved in this situation, have had to deal with the emotions that the exposed affair and their parents’ subsequent divorce caused in them.
Fortunately, while Joseph may not have a close (or any) relationship with his half-siblings, he has made contact with his father.
