Despite the absence of his father in the formative years of his life, Joseph Baena has grown up to be a fine man. With a face similar to that of his father, Baena seems to be exploring similar career options too. In the past, Baena explored other career options, like that of a real estate agent, to support himself. It was after Arnold Schwarzenegger stopped financially supporting him once Baena graduated.

Lately, Joseph Baena has garnered a lot of attention due to his ribbed physique. Like his father, Baena can be seen pumping the iron in the gym. However, he isn’t training so hard to participate in any upcoming bodybuilding contests. His target is something else. In his recent interview, Joseph Baena revealed his intentions behind training as hard as he currently is.

Arnold Schwarzenegger withdraws financial support

Joseph Baena is Schwarzenegger’s son whom he fathered after an extramarital affair with former housekeeper Mildred Baena. Schwarzenegger was first unaware that he was Baena’s father. When he found out, though, Schwarzenegger took responsibility for his conduct. He not only worked to establish a bond with the boy, but he also resolved to financially help him in his pursuit of a suitable education.
