Schwarzenegger's special night out 

The Schwarzenegger family occupied a special place at this year's Sun Valley Festival, with Schwarzenegger being the recipient of the Vision Award that evening. Schwarzenegger hosted a "Cocktail Talk," where he discussed various topics in his successful career. He was joined by various members of his family, who were photographed seated in the audience, watching Schwarzenegger discuss his experiences. 

Patrick was joined by his wife, Abby Champion, whom he married earlier this year. He received a special recognition at the show, taking home the Rising Star Award. His dad was proud of his son and his work, revealing that he tuned in every Sunday to catch up with the latest developments in "The White Lotus," where Patrick delivered one of the season's most memorable performances. 

“I couldn’t wait for the next episode and then the next episode,” said Schwarzenegger. “I mean, you get addicted to this stuff. Of course, he just really killed it. Unbelievable, his performance.”

It's been a year of growth for the Schwarzenegger family, with Patrick taking on the largest role of his career. In the case of Christopher, he leads a life away from the spotlight, but he still made some significant changes in his life, including a physical transformation that began five years ago. 

“I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing everyday activities," said Christopher at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit hosted in May of this year, per Just Jared. "It took a lot of trial and error, and even still to this day… I don’t feel like I’m an ‘after’ yet.”

Christopher shared that he's struggled with his weight throughout his entire life, trying out different weight loss methods since high school. He credited adopting small but consistent lifestyle changes over the past couple of years with his physical transformation.
