Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most recognizable names in the world. Even people who do not speak a lick of English recognize the action movie star. With a spotlight of such magnitude constantly on him, it is only natural that fans want to know every single detail about him, which also includes the women in his life and children.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the father of 5 children. He shares four of his children with his ex-wife Maria Shriver. Katherine, 33, Christina, 31, Patrick, 29, and Christopher, 25 were born to Schwarzenegger and Shiver. However, the fifth, Joseph Baena, 25, was fathered by the Terminator star through his affair with longtime housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena.
The actor made the revelation back in 2011, the same year Shiver filed a divorce with him.
Katherine Eunice Schwarzenegger
Katherine is the oldest child. She was born on Dec. 13, 1989. Her middle name was given to her in honor of her maternal grandmother, Eunice Kennedy, who also happens to be the younger sister of President John F. Kennedy!
She authored a bestseller at the age of 21 with her first book, Rock What You’ve Got: Secrets to Loving Your Inner and Outer Beauty from Someone Who’s Been There and Back.
She graduated from the University of Southern California and has since written several more books.
Katherine met her future husband, MCU star, Chris Pratt, back in 2018 at a church. They married a year later in June 2019 and are proud parents to daughters Lyla and Eloise.

Christopher is Schwarzenegger’s youngest child with Shiver. He was born on Sept. 27, 1997. He graduated from the University of Michigan. Unlike his other children, Christopher has largely remained outside of the limelight, a huge feat, considering who his father is.
Joseph Baena
As mentioned before, Joseph was born out of Schwarzenegger’s affair with his housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena. He was born on Oct. 2, 1997. His mother kept his identity a secret for a number of years until he started growing to resemble his father.
The two have grown closer to each other in the years since and can be seen working out in the gym together.
Like his father, Joseph is a bodybuilder and a budding actor. Apart from that, he is also a real estate agent with California-based agency ARIA Properties.
