PICTURED: Patrick Schwarzenegger and half-brother Joseph Baena seen bonding for the first time… 10 years after Arnold’s affair with family housekeeper was exposed
Patrick Schwarzenegger and his half-brother Joseph Baena have been pictured out bonding together in Los Angeles, ten years after father Arnold’s affair with the family housekeeper was first revealed.
It is the first time that Patrick, 27, and Joseph, 23, have been seen spending quality time in public with another, as they enjoyed a workout on Monday, along with Joseph’s girlfriend Nicky Dodaj.
The sighting comes after years of a complicated history between Joseph and his half-siblings, including brother Christopher, 23, and sisters Christina, 29, and Katherine Schwarzenegger, 31, which now appears to be on the mend.
Arnold’s former wife Maria Shriver is mother to their four children, while he fathered Joseph with his then-housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena back in 1997.

However, the news of The Terminator star’s lovechild was not revealed until 2011, when Joseph was 13 years old.
Arnold addressed the situation in his book, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, explaining that Maria had confronted him with suspicions in a couples’ counseling session.
‘The minute we sat down, the therapist turned to me and said “Maria wanted to come here today and to ask about a child – whether you fathered a child with your housekeeper Mildred.” I told the therapist ‘It’s true’,’ he wrote in his book.
