Arnold Schwarzenegger had a family reunion at the premiere of season two of his Netflix action comedy Fubar on Wednesday — but one of his children got the cold shoulder.
The 77-year-old was seen showing off his biggest smile with his children Katherine, 35; Christina, 33; Patrick, 31; and Christopher, 27; as well as Katherine’s husband Chris Pratt, 45.
But the Terminator star’s youngest son, his 27-year-old love child Joseph Baena, was nowhere to be seen when the rest of Schwarzenegger’s children posed with him on the red carpet.
The event marks the first time all of Arnold’s children have been pictured in the same room together.
The action film icon shares his four eldest children with his ex-wife, Maria Shriver, while Joseph is the product of an affair he had with his family’s longtime housekeeper Mildred Baena.
Although none of Joseph’s siblings appeared to have posed for any photos with him at the premiere, it was a different story when it came to his famous father, who looked as if he was having a great time goofing off on the red carpet with his son.

Arnold was dressed up for the premiere in a lustrous dark blue suit with peaked lapels, which he wore with a tie-free pale blue button-up shirt, black leather shoes and a black Western belt with an over-the-top buckle.
His four oldest children all favored black ensembles for the premiere, while Pratt complemented his father-in-law with a blue–gray suede jacket.
Christopher wore a black suit with a white dress shirt and skipped the tie, while his older sister Christina also rocked a sleek black suit.
Patrick leaned into his reputation as one of the most stylish members of the Schwarzenegger clan by arriving at the premiere in a black double-breasted suit with pinstripes.
However, he awkwardly paired the jacket with a tie made of the same striped material, and rather than wearing a full suit he wore plain black trousers, along with black brogues with a slight lift.
Katherine rounded out the quartet of siblings in a single-shoulder black blouse with a large bow tied around her midriff and matching slacks with contrasting pointy white heels.
Joseph also rocked a chic casual-cool look that complemented his impressive muscles without being overly tight.
He wore a charcoal cardigan with high-waisted trousers, a dark sweater draped playfully over his shoulders, and black leather loafers
The premiere, at which all the family members except Arnold kept their distance from Joseph, was an uncomfortable replay of the premiere of the first season of Fubar just over two years earlier, when Joseph beamed next to his father but wasn’t a part of any photos featuring his siblings.
Patrick and Christopher were not at the 2023 event but Arnold beamed with pride as he posed for pictures with his daughters Katherine and Christina and son-in-law Chris.

Arnold appeared to also be close with his son Joseph’s girlfriend, the Dutch model Mel, as she was seen resting her head on his shoulder inside the theater.
While Patrick was pictured doing a workout with Joseph in 2021, there don’t appear to have been any public signs of a familial connection between the two since then, and Patrick’s other siblings have never been seen making similar overtures.
In 2023, a source told Page Six that Arnold and Joseph ‘are very close,’ but they claimed that the ‘other kids don’t love Joe.’
They added that the True Lies actor had ‘always treated [Joseph] like all his other kids’ after he had reportedly paid for his youngest son’s school and also bought his mother Mildred a house.
The source also claimed that ‘the other kids take [the affair] out on Joe.’
Although Katherine, Patrick, Christina and Christopher reportedly don’t have any interest in getting to know their half-brother better, he has publicly wished them the best in the past.
In one incident from 2019, Joseph wished Katherine ‘congratulations’ in a comment on her Instagram post about her wedding with Chris, even though he wasn’t invited to the ceremony.
Katherine didn’t respond to the comment or appear to acknowledge it in any way.

Last month, Arnold’s ex-wife Maria Shriver told People she was in a ‘good place’ after working out a co-parenting relationship with him. ‘We laugh a lot about our kids, our grandkids, ourselves,’ she said
‘And we are proud of the fact that we are still in conversation. For almost 50 years!’ Shriver added.

Despite any friction between Joseph and older siblings, he has maintained a very close relationship with Arnold, who he gushed in 2022 that he is someone he can ‘joke around with’ and ‘talk about anything’ during an appearance on Sophia and Sistine Stallone sisters’ podcast, Unwaxed.
Last month, Arnold’s ex-wife Maria shared an update on their relationship following his admission in 2011 that he had fathered Joseph from an affair with their housekeeper.
She told People that she was now in a ‘good place’ after finding a way to co-parent her children with the Austrian-born actor.
‘We laugh a lot about our kids, our grandkids, ourselves,’ she said. ‘And we are proud of the fact that we are still in conversation. For almost 50 years!’
She also noted that she had come to learn the importance of forgiveness, both for herself and for others.
The journalist, who married Schwarzenegger in 1986, called her split from him ‘brutal’ and a ‘life-altering blow.’
