In addition to working out during the day, Joseph attended a party that night. Meanwhile, his girlfriend was with him at Bel Air’s private property while Katherine’s wedding celebration took place. They showed up at the GO Campaign presents Vintage Hollywood 2019 party and posed for the cameraman together.

Joseph, famously known for his facial features similar to that of Arnold’s, was spotted posing in a squeaky-clean white shirt and black pants. Reportedly, there seems to be some distance between the half-siblings throughout all these years. Even Katherine and Joseph don’t follow each other on social media platforms. 

Joseph was born in October 1997, just five days after Christopher. Being the love child of Arnold, his ex-wife Maria Shriver and their kids maintain their distance. Despite not coming to the wedding, Joseph made a sweet gesture toward his half-sister.

After the wedding, Katherine shared her pictures with a lovely note about her wedding. She wrote“We feel so blessed to begin this new chapter of our lives. We are so thankful to our families and our friends who stood with us and grateful to Mr. Giorgio Armani, who created a once-in-a-lifetime dress for me to wear, and for Chris, the perfect suit.”

On this, Baena dropped a congratulation with champagne bottle emoji. Nowadays, Baena is pumping hard in the gym after appearing in the show Dancing with the Stars. In addition, he is following in his father’s footsteps; for example, there was a time when Arnold hired a ballet teacher.

However, his reason for hiring the teacher was learning to pose. Most likely, Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t ever dance on the DWTS stage, even with a professional like Daniella as Joseph’s partner.
