Exes Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver showed support for their son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, at the premiere of The White Lotus season 3.
Patrick, 31, is among the ensemble cast of the third season of HBO’s resort-set drama and had heavyweight support from both his mom and dad for the star-studded premiere on Monday, February 10, in Los Angeles.
Arnold, 77, and Maria, 69, who finalized their divorce in December 2021 after separating a decade earlier, both posed for photos on the red carpet with Patrick — albeit separately.
Maria and Patrick also posed for a family photo — sans Arnold — featuring the former couple’s other children, Katherine, 35, and her actor husband, Chris Pratt, daughter Christina, 33, and son Christopher, 27. Patrick’s fiancée, Abby Champion, was also included in the group photo.

Arnold said that while the divorce “was very, very difficult in the beginning,” he doesn’t miss being married. “Eventually, you move on,” he told the outlet. “I have a wonderful girlfriend, Heather Milligan, who is very successful. I’m really proud of her, and I love her.”
However, he added, “At the same time, I love my wife. She and I are really good friends and very close.” (He continued to refer to Maria as his “wife” throughout the interview.)
