Actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, model Abby Champion engaged
American actor Patrick Schwarzenegger has finally popped the question to American model Abby Champion after seven years of dating.
The 30-year-old and his 26-year-old fiancee shared the happy news via a joint Instagram post on Dec 27. The couple shared a series of photos of the beach proposal with the caption: “Forever and ever.”
One photo showed Schwarzenegger, eldest son of movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger and journalist Maria Shriver, planting a kiss on Champion’s cheek as she showed off her engagement ring. Another snap was of their celebratory cake, which was decorated with a photo of the happy couple.
Schwarzenegger, who starred in the TV series Gen V (2023) and The Staircase (2022), has been dating Champion, a Calvin Klein model, since 2015. The pair went “Instagram official” in February 2016 when Champion posted a photo of them with their arms around each other.
Following the couple’s engagement announcement, several of Schwarzenegger’s family members posted their congratulations.
Shriver, 68, wrote that they make “such a beautiful couple” and she was “beyond thrilled and excited”.
Guardians Of The Galaxy actor Chris Pratt, who is married to Schwarzenegger’s sister Katherine, reacted on Instagram Stories. “Epic. Congrats @patrickschwarzenegger and @abbychampion. We love you both,” wrote Pratt, 44.
