Christopher Schwarzenegger sightings used to be rare, but the 27-year-old seems to be getting more comfortable in front of the camera and the public. The Schwarzenegger / Shriver family got together for Patrick Schwarzenegger's wedding earlier this month in Idaho, and in a recent roundup, Katherine Schwarzenegger shared photos from a day at the lake, including a couple of snaps of Christopher looking great.

He stood at the edge of the boat shirtless, and you can definitely tell he's been working hard in the gym. In another snap, he was cuddled up on the boat with a mystery blonde who seemed to be his girlfriend.

The family got together at Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, for Patrick's wedding to longtime girlfriend Abby Champion. It started on September 6 and spanned several days, per Vogue. Maria was there along with Arnold. Christopher and Pratt were both groomsmen, but Patrick's half-brother, Joseph Baena, was reportedly not invited.
A source told TMZ, Joseph “has no relationship with that side of the Schwarzenegger fam.” But Joseph has been photographed in the past with Christopher and his dad.
Christopher's weight loss journey

He explained that they introduced healthy foods to Christopher and the notion to "always go to the gym and all of that kind of stuff," but said it was a decision he had to make on his own later in life.
“And then, out of nowhere, he decided that he wanted to be lean. And now he is,” the 77-year-old said. “So that is, of course, fantastic, the self-discipline and the self-motivation. I always felt one day it would have to come from him - and it did.”
In May, Christopher opened up about his weight, saying, “I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities," like the ability to go skydiving. There has been speculation that he used weight loss drugs like Ozempic, but he has not openly said he's used it, crediting cutting out bread during Lent as one of the reasons he lost 30 pounds in two months.
