Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion exist at the intersection of romance and high-profile careers, and their recent engagement has only amplified their star power. Known for his role on HBO's The White Lotus, 31-year-old Patrick, son of Hollywood legends Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, proposed to model Abby Champion, 28, during a picturesque beach scene, complete with roses and sunsets, back in December 2023. Announcing the exciting news, the couple took to Instagram, sharing their joy with the caption: 'Forever and ever.'
Abby Champion, originally from Vestavia Hills, Alabama, isn't just Patrick’s fiancée; she’s also a noteworthy talent in the fashion world. A nominee for Model of the Year 2020, she has graced the covers of trendy fashion magazines and walked the runways of numerous high-profile fashion shows. It’s evident her rapid rise is founded on strong values and commendable determination.
Their love story began unexpectedly—they first met through mutual friends back in 2015. Since then, the couple has continually supported each other's endeavors. Their first public appearance as couple was at the premiere of The Longest Ride in April 2015, steadily building their relationship behind the scenes. Together, they share documented adventures on social media, showcasing their bond with fun-filled outings.
Now, as models for SKIMS' 2025 Wedding Shop campaign, the couple turned heads by showcasing stylish underwear and intimates, creating buzz about their relationship yet again. During the photo shoot, they participated in traditional wedding activities, including cutting a large white cake, and shared intimate moments displaying their chemistry.
Abby expressed her excitement about the collaboration, stating, 'This is such an exciting time in my life, and I want to feel my best throughout it all. SKIMS is my go-to for confidence and comfort, and I can’t wait to wear these stunning pieces for our wedding celebrations and honeymoon.' Patrick echoed her sentiment, saying, 'Being part of SKIMS’ Wedding Shop with my fiancée was such a fun experience and made me more excited for our big day. Grooms are usually expected to just show up, but SKIMS designs with the men in mind also.'
The allure of this power couple doesn’t stop there; they often work out together, sharing fitness routines with their combined followers on social media, creating couple gym selfies, and attending each other’s events. Evidence of their commitment can be seen from their comments about one another with Patrick referencing characteristics he admires about Abby, such as being hardworking and dedicated. He stated, 'We love each other and it's okay when she goes away for a week or I go away for a month filming.'
After nearly eight years together, Patrick decided to take the plunge and propose to Abby. Not only has this couple made significant footprints collectively, they are also dedicated to pursuing their own careers. Patrick graduated from the University of Southern California with degrees in Business and Cinematic Arts, showcasing his multifaceted approach to life.
Reflecting on their history, Patrick remarked, 'We've been together 10 years, so it's like we're basically married. But we're both just in two different places with amazing careers, and I think we've just made things work. We do our own things and still manage to have these beautiful moments together.'
While their relationship often draws public attention, both Patrick and Abby keep their personal life relatively private, often sharing glimpses of their lives together without oversharing. Recently, Patrick shared sweet birthday messages dedicated to Abby, mentioning her love for coffee and ice cream, among other charming details.
Despite his previous relationship with Miley Cyrus, Patrick seems to have found something special with Abby. The two enjoy simple pleasures, like their morning beach walks, where they take time to reflect on gratitude and what they cherish about one another.
With wedding bells on the horizon, fans are eagerly awaiting to see what this beautiful couple will bring to the world next. Their strong foundation built on mutual respect, love, and admiration gives hope for what's to come.
