Arnold Schwarzenegger celebrated another year around the sun with his close family including his famous daughter, son-in-law and younger girlfriend. His son-in-law Chris Pratt, married to his daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, shared a sweet tribute on social media amid news that the couple is expecting their third baby.

Pratt wrote, alongside several photos including ones of Schwarzenegger and his granddaughters, “Happy Birthday Arnold! You’re one of a kind. Looking forward to another year of sage advice, good cigars, chess whoopings and hand feeding homemade cookies to the many barn animals that live in your kitchen.” (Katherine shared some fun throwbacks!)

Schwarzenegger was also feeling the love with his longtime girlfriend, Heather Milligan. The two met back in 2012 when Schwarzenegger was recovering from shoulder surgery and wanted to get stronger for a new movie role. He was referred to see a physical therapist and not only did she help Schwarzenegger get back into tip-top shape but the two also fell in love. He said that he asked her to get lunch as a thank you and they fell for each other.

Milligan, 49, has not been too open about their relationship but the duo has been seen out and about together often over the last decade. Milligan still works as a physical therapist and owns Elite OrthoSport, a large physical therapy clinic in Los Angeles that treats professional sports players. Milligan mainly shares updates on her clinic on social media but she has been known to share photos and videos of Schwarzenegger’s wide range of pets too, including Lulu the donkey. “We have so many things in common,” Schwarzenegger said in 2023. “I think the world of her.”

One person who surprisingly did not wish Schwarzenegger a birthday wish online was Sylvester Stallone. Just weeks ago, Schwarzenegger paid tribute to Stallone on his birthday, citing their rivalry turned decades-long friendship.
