Katherine Schwarzenegger, the eldest child of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, didn’t just wish her mother on Mother’s Day. The bodybuilding legend’s daughter wished her late grandmother Eunice Kennedy Shriver too, in a heartwarming post. However, she wasn’t the only one. The 68-year-old ex-wife of Arnold wrote a heartfelt tribute in I’ve Been Thinking – The Journal and remembered the day she stumbled upon a gift she had left her. “‘To Maria, Only in Heaven will I love you more.’ – Eunice Kennedy Shriver,” read the message.

“One day when I was tidying up my home, I came across a book inscribed to me by my mother. It included the quote above,” wrote the award-winning journalist. “Upon reading it I immediately burst into tears because I knew its words were true,” added Maria Shriver. Shriver’s passage message moved her 33-year-old daughter. “Happy Mother’s Day to my grandma in heaven,” Katherine wrote in her Instagram story.

Maria revealed that she didn’t even know her mother had left this gift. “It’s now a message that I will cherish in my heart forever,” she wrote. The eldest daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger also shared Maria Shriver’s post about the special edition of The Sunday Paper.

Shriver said she wrote about her mother “and my daughter in her new role as a mother.” Finally, the 33-year-old mother of two also shared a photograph of herself and Maria. “Happy Mother’s Day to my mama,” the author captioned the post. However, Katherine Schwarzenegger isn’t the only one with a “new role,” as Shriver mentioned. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver also have new roles.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver: The grandparents

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver love their grandchildren. However, the grandparents approach their roles quite differently. While Maria uses her experience as a mother and nurturing nature, Arnold is the fun-loving grandfather who lets his grandchildren play with his pets. He made a startling confession about his grandchildren recently.

During his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Arnold Schwarzenegger confessed to feeding his grandchildren his pets’ cookies. While the statement shocked Fallon and the audience, Arnie cleared the air, saying that humans can have his pets’ cookies without any issues. In fact, Schwarzenegger bakes fresh batches of cookies with honey and oats for his pet and has tried them himself!

Katherine Schwarzenegger recently confessed that she has a whole new perspective on Maria Shriver after becoming a mom. As a mother of two children, Arnie’s daughter understands the full scope of the sacrifices Shriver made for her and her siblings.

So, on Mother’s Day, she celebrated with her mother and the woman who brought her mother into this world.
