It was just a normal day at the pumpkin patch until Christopher Schwarzenegger showed up and made the internet go crazy. On Monday, October 27, 2025, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son made headlines when he went out with family and friends in Brentwood, California.
The 28-year-old showed off his lean body while out with his new girlfriend, sister Katherine Schwarzenegger, and her husband Chris Pratt. Two months after Katherine released family images with Christopher looking much thinner, the outing took place.
The New Heartthrob of the Schwarzenegger Family Has a Day with Them
Christopher walked around the venue carrying several pumpkins while wearing a white tank top and dark leggings. His toned arms and muscular frame drew attention with every step. He wore a casual sweatshirt around his waist that went well with the relaxed, fall-ready mood of the afternoon.
He was with his girlfriend, and later he was observed giving her a lovely kiss. People also saw Katherine and Chris nearby, along with one of their daughters.

Katherine’s photo carousel showed different parts of the family’s trip on the lake, like pictures of her husband Chris and their kids.
But slide seven really stood out: Christopher, standing upright on a boat, wearing a short-sleeved white button-down shirt and pink shorts. It was the perfect outfit for warm weather.
His change stole the show, even with the beautiful scenery and the phone in his hand.
Fans first spotted Christopher’s thinner body on a dinner outing earlier this year (2025) in West Hollywood, California, where he was seen with his brother Patrick Schwarzenegger.
‘I Just Saw How Much My Weight Was Prohibiting Me’: How Australia Impacted Christopher Schwarzenegger’s Wellness Journey
He spoke at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles and noted that his focus on health grew stronger while he was in Australia in 2019.
“I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, ‘Oh, I’m going to go out and do all this stuff in Australia,’ and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities,” he shared. One activity that had been out of reach for Christopher because of this was skydiving.
But that wasn’t the beginning of his health journey. It started years ago, when Christopher was in high school and tried out numerous foods and ways of doing things.
On this, he explained, “I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school. It’s not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error. And even still to this day, when [you see] before and after photos, I don’t feel like I’m an after yet.”
From Lent to Lasting Change: Cutting Bread Led to a 30-Pound Drop
He has made a lot of progress in the last several years by making little, steady changes. For example, he gave up bread for Lent, which was a big step forward.
“I was like, ‘Well, if I’m giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity and I’m a good Catholic boy, so I’m not going to break it,’” he said. “And so I lost 30 pounds just through that.”
