However, Schwarzenegger also has a fifth child, Joseph Baena, who was born out of an affair the actor had years ago.

As a result of the circumstances around Baena’s birth, there have been plenty of rumors on the internet hinting at an estranged relationship between Baena and his half-siblings. Naturally, those invested in the lives of the Schwarzenegger family must be curious to learn whether Baena is on cordial terms with his siblings, and here is everything we learned in that regard.

However, the post appears to be partially inaccurate. While neither of Schwarzenegger’s four children with Shriver follow Baena, the latter also does not follow them back on Instagram. It is unclear whether Baena followed any of his half-siblings on Instagram in the past, and none of them follow him on the platform as of this writing.
The Truth About the Relationship Between Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Children
The Instagram situation strongly hints at a rift between Katherine, Christina, Patrick, Christopher Schwarzenegger, and their half-sibling, Joseph Baena. In 2023, some of the Schwarzenegger siblings and Baena were in attendance at the premiere of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Netflix seriesFUBAR.
While the Schwarzenegger siblings posed with their father on the red carpet, Baena was pictured solo. Later, Baena also spoke with a correspondent ofEntertainment Tonighton the event’s red carpet. When asked whether Baena got to spend a lot of time with his half-siblings, the 26-year-old stated:

“I mean that’s something we don’t really talk about.”
Baena’s response suggests that he was uncomfortable with the question but also implied that he did not spend a lot of time with his half-siblings. According to areportfrom 2023, a source close to the Schwarzenegger family claimed that the siblings did not like Baena, but he was close to Schwarzenegger and the actor had always treated all his children equally.

Baena is also following in Schwarzenegger’s footsteps by pursuing a career as an actor.
