Action legend and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger celebrated his 79th birthday surrounded by love, as ex-wife Maria Shriver reunited with him in a touching collection of family photos shared online.
The rare peek into their close-knit family dynamic was posted by the former couple’s eldest daughter, NYT bestselling author Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, honoring her father’s milestone birthday.
Family Warmth: Katherine shared a series of personal throwback and recent snapshots, including a standout photo featuring both Arnold and Maria smiling together alongside their children.
Loving Words: In her emotional birthday message, Katherine wrote: “Happy Birthday, Dad…So lucky you’re ours… and even luckier our kids get you as Opa,” referencing his cherished role as grandfather to her children with Chris Pratt.
Co-Parenting Strength: Despite their 2011 separation, Arnold and Maria have continuously prioritized family unity, coming together for major milestones and supporting their four adult children—Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher.
Fitness First: True to form, the bodybuilding icon marked turning 79 by hitting the gym, sharing footage of himself performing lat pulldowns and bicep curls outdoors.
Giving Back to Fans: Instead of accepting traditional birthday gifts, Schwarzenegger launched a zero-profit fitness initiative through his Pump Club app to inspire people worldwide to stay active and healthy.
