Christopher is one of four children exes Arnold and Maria share along with Katherine, 35, Christina Schwarzenegger, 34, and Patrick Schwarzenegger, 31. The former governor of California is also dad to 27-year-old son Joseph Baena, fathered during an affair with his housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena.
And while Christopher tends to live a more private life than his parents and siblings, he has graced a few red carpets over the years—including at the premiere of his dad’s series Fubar in June and at the screening of his brother Patrick’s season of The White Lotus in February.
In terms of his own career, Christopher serves as the Vice Chair of the Special Olympics Founders Council, the nonprofit founded by his grandmother Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
According to his bio, he’s also the Director of Development at film and TV production company Indus Valley Media in Los Angeles and previously worked for creative content agency Malka as well as for sports psychologist Trevor Moawad. A University of Michigan alum, he graduated with a psychology degree in 2020.
“Christopher, you are a champion and I love you,” Arnold wrote on Instagram at the time, celebrating his son’s COVID-era milestone. “I know your graduation from Michigan wasn’t the big celebration you dreamed about for years, but walking across a stage isn’t what makes me so proud of you: it’s your compassion, your hard work, your vision, your critical thinking, and your selflessness that make me burst with pride. I can’t wait to watch you keep climbing and succeeding.”
