Joseph Baena Wiki: Age, Childhood, and Education
Joseph Baena was born on 2 October 1997 in Los Angeles, California, USA. His mother, Mildred Patricia Baena, was an employee at Schwarzenegger’s estate as a maid for over 20 years. She began working for the celebrity family in the early ’90s, and was married to her husband Rogelio at the time, while Arnold was married to Maria Shriver. Nevertheless, this didn’t stop the two from having a romantic affair, which resulted in Mildred becoming pregnant and giving birth to Joseph.

For the first six to seven years, no one suspected that Joseph was, in fact, Arnold’s son, but as he got older, he began resembling Arnold. The affair ended Schwarzenegger’s marriage, and Joseph hasn’t been well-welcomed by his half-siblings. Arnold has provided for both Mildred and Joseph, putting Joseph through school and buying them a house in Bakersfield, California, USA. However, Joseph grew up with his mother, who became a single parent since she also divorced from her husband following the discovery of the affair between her and Arnold. At first, Joseph and Arnold didn’t have a father-son relationship despite Arnold acknowledging him as his own son.
Joseph has said that it took a little while for him to get really close with his father and talk about everything. Luckily, all worked out for the best, and Arnold now supports young Joseph tremendously, both in personal and professional aspects of his life. Of Guatemalan ancestry from her mother’s side, Joseph went to Frontier High School, then after matriculating, enrolled at Pepperdine University, obtaining a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in 2019.
Career
Just like his father, Joseph has taken an early interest in bodybuilding, but he is not a die-hard competitor like Arnold. Instead, he has only been working out for fitness, health, and obviously good looks.
His interest in bodybuilding and working out has led him to create a number of training routines, and share them with his fans and clients. Moreover, he has been interviewed by a number of magazines, including Men’s Health and others. This has bonded him with Arnold, as the two are now often seen together in the gym working out. Arnold helps him a lot, with both his meal plans and training.

He will also co-star in the sci-fi film “Encounters”, alongside Madison McKinley and Jerry-Jane Pears. Additionally, Joseph is also one half of the podcast “Opposite Ends”, with Jaibir Nihal Singh.
