Arnold Schwarzenegger’s extramarital son left out of the family photos at the premiere of his new Netflix series, but Chris Pratt makes the cut

The action icon's 25 year-old son walked the red carpet alone.

It was all smiles for Arnold Schwarzenegger at the premiere of his new Netflix series FUBAR, with the action icon posing alongside his family for a series of red carpet photos.

However, there was one notable and very glaring omission, with Joseph Baena nowhere to be seen despite the fact the budding actor and bodybuilder was in attendance. Instead, the Terminator legend posed with his daughters Christina and Katherine, while the latter’s husband Chris Pratt was also invited to get in on the Schwarzenegger/Kennedy gathering.

There’s no word as to why Baena was deliberately omitted from the occasion, but rumors have claimed he doesn’t have a relationship of any sort to speak of with the Austrian Oak’s two daughters, although he has been seen working out in the same gym as Schwarzenegger’s sons Patrick and Christopher in the past.

Baena’s mere existence ended up causing a massive public scandal back in 2010 when it was revealed the then-13 year-old was the biological child of Arnold and his housekeeper Mildred Baena, who’d been conducting an affair when he was still married to Maria Shriver. The pair were wed for 25 years, but ended up splitting not long after his extramarital misdeeds were released.

Schwarzenegger and Baena have grown closer over the years, though, even if he seemingly hasn’t been welcomed with open arms by the rest of the family. Either way, given that he’s got designs on making it in front of the camera and the world of pumping iron, it’s safe to say he’s most definitely his father’s son.
