Arnold Schwarzenegger, 76, and lookalike son Joseph Baena, 26, enjoy bonding time during a fitness session at Gold’s Gym in Venice

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his son Joseph Baena were seen stopping by Gold’s Gym in Venice to enjoy a productive workout session together on Friday. 

The Terminator star, 76, was seen arriving to the fitness center on an electric bike while the Called To Duty actor, 26, flashed a cheerful smile moments before joining his father. 

The former governor of California sported a dark navy shirt that had ‘Made In U.S.A.’ printed on the front in white lettering as well as a pair of black shorts. 

He layered the ensemble with a dark navy jacket that was left unzipped and wore a pair of black, ankle socks as well as slip-on shoes to complete his look for the daytime outing. 

Arnold – whose son has been following in his bodybuilding footsteps – added a pair of black-rimmed shades shades to protect his eyes under the California sunshine as he rode to the gym.

Baena also opted for comfort, and donned a short-sleeved, white Gold’s Gym shirt and a pair of black gym shorts that were secured with string tied around his waist. 

He also opted for a pair of white, ankle socks as well as black and white-checkered shoes for a finishing touch. 

The media personality easily carried a black hoodie in his hand to wear if he grew chilly later in the day, and also held a smartphone in his spare hand. 

Joseph held a cheerful smile on his face before joining Schwarzenegger outside to use some of the equipment. 

Arnold shares his son with former housekeeper, Mildred Baena, whom he had an affair with during his marriage to Maria Shriver. She notably gave birth to Joseph in 1997.

However, 14 years later, the truth about the affair and how he had fathered a son with Mildred came to light during a marriage counseling session with Shriver. 

The housekeeper retired in 2011, the same year that Maria ended her relationship with Arnold, prompting their separation. She filed for divorce in July 2011, which wasn’t officially finalized until 10 years later in 2021. 

The former couple also share children: Katherine, 33, Christina, 31, Patrick, 30, and also Christopher, 26 – who was born mere days before Joseph was welcomed to the world.

However, over the years, both Arnold and Joseph have developed a close bond. 

Earlier this month, the budding actor uploaded a snap of himself on Instagram happily posing next to a wax figure of his father at the star’s museum located in Thal, Austria. 

He has also followed in Schwarzenegger’s bodybuilding footsteps, and often shares photos of himself posing to show off his progress, which are similar to poses his father had also done in the past. 

Last year in January 2022, Baena stopped by the Unwaxed podcast and opened up about his relationship with the Predator star. 

‘I also have to point out that with my relationship with my dad, it took a little while for me and him to get really close and just joke around with him and talk about anything,’ he explained. 

Joseph added, ‘I grew up with my mom and I was just always nervous. And I didn’t want him to think badly of me to be like, “Oh, what the heck is this guy doing? Like partying all the time.”‘ 

He then revealed, ‘I’m so close to my dad and we joke about everything. He always wants to hear about the drama. He’s like, “Tell me everything! Tell me the drama. Tell me about these girls.”‘ 

The star also opened up about maneuvering his own path in the entertainment industry, which his father also dabbles in – having starred in blockbusters such as The Terminator franchise and Netflix’s FUBAR.

No ‘handouts’: Baena told Men’s Health last year, ‘My dad is old-school; he doesn’t believe in handouts. He believes hard work pays off, and so do I’

Baena told Men’s Health last year, ‘My dad is old-school; he doesn’t believe in handouts. He believes hard work pays off, and so do I.’ 

‘I love the word honor and I’m very prideful in the sense that if I use my dad’s contacts or ask him for favors, I wonder what honor is that gonna bring me?’

While fulfilling his passions in both bodybuilding and also acting, Joseph is also a real estate agent. 

In regards to where he sees himself in the future, he stated, ‘I’m an award-winning actor with lots of real estate experience, and I’m on a boat in Miami, sipping a mai tai with my buddies, getting ready for the next movie.’
