The youngest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joseph Baena, wished his mother a happy Mother’s Day on May 12th. The young bodybuilding enthusiast’s mother, Mildred Patricia Baena, made a rare appearance on her son’s Instagram story. The 26-year-old posted a photograph of himself and his mom as she held balloons and a bouquet in her hands.

“Happy Mother’s Day,“ Jopseh Baena captioned his Instagram story. However, he couldn’t tag his mother because he was not on social media. Baena’s fans can only catch a glimpse of his mother when the actors post about her on social media. The Bully High actor also didn’t clarify if the photograph was taken on Mother’s Day this year.

One of the balloons that Mldred Baena held had the quote, “Another year of fabulous,“ written on it. So, there’s a possibility that the bodybuilder posted a photo from his mother’s birthday celebration. However, just because Joseph Baena doesn’t post frequently about his mother on social media doesn’t mean he rarely spends time with her.

Mildred Patricia Baena has rarely spoken or made any public appearances since 2011. Shortly after Arnold Schwarzenegger completed his second term as Governor of California, his entire family nearly got torn apart. The storm started with rumors that the Terminator star had an extramarital affair with his housekeeper and father.

Arnold Schwarzenegger confessed to having an affair with his now-ex-wife, Maria Shriver, at a couple’s therapy session. However, the floodgates opened after Arnie’s admission. Maria Shriver filed for divorce, and the media even hounded his four children. Meanwhile, the media also tried to get Mildred Baena to talk after her son’s true identity was revealed.

While things died down and everyone involved settled down with their lives, Mildred Baena became even more private. Thankfully, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jsopeh Baena became close despite the incident. Earlier this year, the young actor even made a surprising revelation about his father.

Joseph Baena knew about Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arne’s youngest child appeared on the Transparent with Nyle Nayga podcast in February. Although Nyga knew that asking Baena about the topic of his rental identity wouldn’t be easy, he asked as politely as he could. Nayga asked Joseph Baena about when he found out that Arnold Schwarzenegger was his father.

While Joseph Baena didn’t sound too eager to delve into the topic, he made a surprising revelation. “That’s something that I’ve kind of always known,” said the 26-year-old. Baena further explained that, as long as he could remember, he knew that Arnold Schwarzenegger was his father. So, Baena knew about his biological father even before the 2011 incident.

2011 was a tough year for Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, and their children, Mildred Baena and Joseph Baena. However, they have accepted the situation and moved on as best they can. Today, Arnie has a great relationship with all five of his children. So, Joseph Baena is thankful to his mother for raising him while battling the odds.
