Patrick Schwarzenegger is officially married. The actor and the model made the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Abby Champion, during a ceremony by the lake at the Gozzer Ranch Country Club exclusive to the heart of Alene, Idaho, on Saturday September 6. The marriage was assisted by a close family, friends and several Hollywood names.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver proudly watched their son say “yes”. The guests also included the half-brother of Patrick Joseph Baena and actor Rob Lowe. The couple, who has been together for almost a decade, has exchanged wishes with the picturesque mountains as a backdrop.
A classic ceremony with star guests
Abby Champion wore a simple but elegant white dress, her hair flowing as she walked in the aisle, according to TMZ. Patrick equaled his look with a white tuxedo jacket associated with black pants. The bridesmaids wore yellow dresses, adding a brilliant contrast to the rustic landscape. The guests made an elegant entrance when they arrived on ferries that pulled the edge of the lake, giving the tone to the celebration.
The marriage marked the end of a long wait for the couple, who got engaged in December 2023. They shared the good news on Instagram at the time with a subtitled joint position “forever and forever”.
Why did Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion postpone their marriage?
Here’s why the couple delayed their wedding. Only a few weeks after proposing, Patrick was thrown into the white lotus under the name of Saxon Ratliff, the arrogant eldest son of a rich family in the south. The role required seven months of filming in Thailand, forcing the couple to repel their wedding plans.
Speaking on the program Drew Barrymore, Patrick revealed that Abby supported the decision. “She was so happy,” said Patrick. “She was ecstatic because she was a big fan.”
A relationship built over 10 years
Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion began to go out together in 2015 after being presented by friends. They first kept their private relationship, but later confirmed it with photos on Instagram. Over the years, the couple has become a familiar presence at Hollywood events, including the Cannes Film Festival this year, where Abby hinted that marriage was “soon”.
Before his relationship with Abby, Patrick was linked to the singer Miley Cyrus, with whom he released briefly in 2015. Their relationship ended after five months.
With their wedding in Idaho, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion officially started a new chapter together after ten years of meetings and almost two years of engagement.
