Patrick Schwarzenegger’s 'The White Lotus' Role Had His Family Asking the Most Unexpected Question

Just a few days after Patrick Schwarzenegger debuted his character in the third season of The White Lotus, he’s sharing with the world the moment he told his family about landing the role.

The Saxon Ratliff actor took to Instagram to share a video with his sister, Katherine Schwarzenegger, and his mom, Maria Shriver, as they reacted to the news. In the caption, he said that prior to the reveal, his family noticed he was acting weird, which led to Maria asking whether he and his fiancée, Abby Champion, were expecting a baby. That was when he couldn’t keep it a secret anymore.

Schwarzenegger recently attended the premiere of the third season of The White Lotus, where he was joined by his dad, Arnold Schwarzenegger. After seeing his son’s nude scene in the show, Arnold took to Instagram to share that he was not surprised by it, saying, “The apple does not fall far from the tree.”

The first episode of the third season premiered on February 16, with the following seven episodes airing weekly through April 6, 2025.
