The Terminator actor, who also has daughters Katherine Schwarzenegger, 35, and Christina Schwarzenegger, 33, as well as son Christopher Schwarzenegger, 27, with his ex-wife Maria Shriver, 69, and a third son, Joseph Baena, 27, with Mildred Baena, said his family “loved” the Flowers hitmaker.

Patrick announced his engagement to 28-year-old model Abby Champion in December 2023. In a January interview with InStyle magazine, The White Lotus actor opened up about their decade-long relationship, saying they already feel married.

Patrick also revealed the couple starts each day with a peaceful morning ritual: a walk to the beach. “Every morning, I go on a walk with my fiancée to the beach. It’s just us. No work, no noise. We go down there and just think about what we’re thankful for. That’s a constant in my life.”
