With The White Lotus season 3 bringing us the insufferable, nepo frat boy Saxon, Patrick Schwarzenegger is having a major moment in the spotlight. But let’s be real—when your dad is literally the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, you were never really out of it.
Naturally, everyone wants to know: Is he dating anyone?
The short answer? No, because he’s been taken since 2015. Patrick and his longtime girlfriend, Abby Champion, made things official with an engagement in December 2023. He popped the question with a romantic beach proposal, complete with red roses and a dreamy sunset. The couple shared the happy news on Instagram, captioning their post: “Forever and ever.”
Who is Abby Champion?
Let’s get to know her a little better. Abby Champion is a model (2020 Model-Of-The-Year Nominee, to be specific), a Southern girl through and through, and soon-to-be a member of one of Hollywood’s most famous families. Born and raised in Vestavia Hills, Alabama, Abby grew up with strong family values, a love for classic Southern cooking, and an appreciation for faith and tradition. She has three siblings, including her older sister, Baskin Champion, who is also a model and a former Miss Alabama Teen USA.
Abby’s modelling career started unexpectedly—she was initially focused on acting but was scouted at one of her sister’s pageants. That chance moment led to her signing with top agencies and booking campaigns with major fashion brands. Over the years, she’s graced the pages of Vogue, walked the runway for major designers, and built an impressive career that stands firmly on its own, despite dating Hollywood royalty.
Beyond modelling, Abby has a passion for fitness, often sharing her workout routines and wellness tips on social media. She also has a tight-knit bond with her family and frequently travels back to Alabama to spend time with them.
How Did Patrick and Abby Meet?
Patrick and Abby first crossed paths in 2015 through mutual friends, and it wasn’t long before their relationship turned serious. While they’ve kept much of their love story private, the two quickly became inseparable, often traveling together and making joint appearances at red carpet events.
Their first public outing as a couple was at The Longest Ride premiere in April 2015, where they walked the red carpet together. By the end of the year, Patrick made things Instagram official by posting cute snaps of their holiday trip to Cabo, setting the tone for what would become a long and loving relationship.
Over the years, the couple has supported each other’s careers. Patrick often attends Abby’s fashion events, while Abby is a regular at Schwarzenegger family gatherings. The two also share a love for fitness, frequently working out together and posting couple gym selfies (because, of course).
After nearly eight years together, Patrick proposed in December 2023, setting the stage for what’s sure to be a star-studded wedding. While details about their big day are still under wraps, one thing is clear—these two are in it for the long haul.
Cue the wedding bells? We think yes!
