A new star is ready to take on the entertainment and bodybuilding industry. And, we are talking about none other than the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold had 5 children. Joseph Baena was apparently born out of his alleged affair with his housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena. Baena is now ready to make a mark for himself.

Baena was born in 1997. When he was around 13, he learned about his paternal identity. And since then, he has followed his father’s passion for bodybuilding and working out. His career as a real estate agent is also prosperous. But, if there is one thing that the Schwarzeneggers don’t do at all, it is dancing. And, Baena is gearing up to change that. Baena is now participating in the popular reality TV show, Dancing With The Stars.

Baena wishes Arnold Schwarzenegger could see his performance live

As a family full of talented people, the Schwarzeneggers are all gifted. Arnold himself is a master of many crafts. As an immigrant, he’s crafted a unique identity for himself in the U.S. Baena is also on the path to doing something similar. In an interview following an electric first performance at the show, Baena opened up that he doesn’t come from a family of dancers. And, he was all about eradicating that stigma from his family name. And, during this same interview, Baena also spoke if he’d like his father to watch him live.

In an interview with Fox News, Joseph was asked if his father, Arnold, would like to watch him dance. According to Baena, it would be great if he could, but that was not his main focus.

Instead, he was focused on going forth into the competition and winning. Like his father, it is either winning or nothing else for him. His final verdict? “You know that’d be great but let’s see if we can make it further out into the competition, uh and you know get all the votes”

The rise of the youngest Schwarzenegger progeny

Joseph still remembers the day his life changed forever. It was when his mother, Mildred, pulled him from class to tell him his father’s identity. And, although it took the father and son some time to bond, they actually got together pretty well. Baena graduated from college with a BBA funded by Arnold. He joined a real-estate firm following graduation. 

Although a splitting image of Sr. Schwarzenegger, Joseph is all about creating a unique identity. Fans love to see him often recreate iconic flex pictures of Arnold on his social media. But, Baena has said previously as well, that as much as he adores his father, he does not want to stay shaded under the Schwarzenegger surname. What will this new adventure at Dancing With The Stars bring for Joseph? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
