Arnold Schwarzenegger, Girlfriend Heather Milligan Date Night Photos

Born in 1993, Patrick is the oldest son of Arnold and Maria. And while having parents in the business is great and all, he’s also credited his brother-in-law Chris with helping him nab one plum part.

“I remember when Chris said, ‘Hey you know there’s this young role, Donny Mitchell, you’ll be the youngest in the platoon,” Patrick told Jimmy Kimmel in 2022 of booking a gig in the Amazon Prime Video series The Terminal List. “‘But if you want to get this role, I need you to go and try to get into character and really get this. I need you to gain 20 pounds and start tactical training, and know how they move, the body language, all this stuff.'” 

Having the chance to train with real-life Navy SEALs, he added, was “a dream come true.” And more pinch-me moments have followed, with the actor going on to play Saxon Ratliff on The White Lotus and Tim Tebow in FX’s American Sports Story.

But even with all his connections, Patrick makes it clear he puts in the hard work.

“I know there are people who’ll say I only got this role because of who my dad is,” Patrick told The Sunday Times in February 2025 of his part on The White Lotus. “They’re not seeing that I’ve had 10 years of acting classes, put on school plays every week, worked on my characters for hours on end or the hundreds of rejected auditions I’ve been on.”

Soon, he’ll be taking on a new role: husband. He proposed to model Abby Champion in December 2023.
