Over the years, the pair have strengthened their relationship and Joseph has posted a number of photos with his dad at the gym.
Sources told Page Six last year that Joseph is hoping to build a relationship with his half-siblings from Arnold’s marriage to Maria Shriver, noting that Katherine, 30, (whose husband is actor Chris Pratt) and Christina, 28, ‘have really no relationship with Joseph,’ while Patrick, 26, and Christopher, 22, ‘have more of a relationship with’ him.
A source close to the family said that all parties involved have been amenable since news broke in 2011 that the action star had fathered a child out of wedlock during his marriage with Shriver.

‘Eight years later, everyone is feeling their way out of a nightmare, and they’ve all done a really good job finding their way into a new normal,’ the source said.
Arnold seemed like a proud papa when he wished son Joseph Baena a happy 22nd birthday online back in October.
He said: ‘Happy birthday Joseph! Watching you graduate from college this year and seeing you follow your passions has been amazing. You are a fantastic son, and I can’t wait for our next training session. I love you,’ the action hero/former governor of California tweeted along with a series of father/son snapshots.
Staying healthy: Before parting ways, Joseph loaded their bikes in the back of his dad’s car, while the Austrian actor got in some stretching to decrease any tightness
During their Friday outing, Arnie and Joseph seemed to have a nice time bonding over their mutual love of fitness.
Before parting ways, Joseph helped to load their bikes in the trunk, while the Austrian actor got in some stretching to decrease any tightness.
Before getting in the driver’s seat, he leaned forward and touched his toes and did a chair-sit.
