Arnold Schwarzenegger had a family reunion at the premiere of season two of his Netflix action comedy Fubar on Wednesday — but one of his children got the cold shoulder.
The 77-year-old was seen showing off his biggest smile with his children Katherine, 35; Christina, 33; Patrick, 31; and Christopher, 27; as well as Katherine’s husband Chris Pratt, 45.
But the Terminator star’s youngest son, his 27-year-old love child Joseph Baena, was nowhere to be seen when the rest of Schwarzenegger’s children posed with him on the red carpet.
The action film icon shares his four eldest children with his ex-wife, Maria Shriver, while Joseph is the product of an affair he had with his family’s longtime housekeeper Mildred Baena.
Although none of Joseph’s siblings appeared to have posed for any photos with him at the premiere, it was a different story when it came to his famous father, who looked as if he was having a great time goofing off on the red carpet with his son.
Arnold was dressed up for the premiere in a lustrous dark blue suit with peaked lapels, which he wore with a tie-free pale blue button-up shirt, black leather shoes and a black Western belt with an over-the-top buckle.

His four oldest children all favored black ensembles for the premiere, while Pratt complemented his father-in-law with a blue–gray suede jacket.
Christopher wore a black suit with a white dress shirt and skipped the tie, while his older sister Christina also rocked a sleek black suit.
Patrick leaned into his reputation as one of the most stylish members of the Schwarzenegger clan by arriving at the premiere in a black double-breasted suit with pinstripes.

However, he awkwardly paired the jacket with a tie made of the same striped material, and rather than wearing a full suit he wore plain black trousers, along with black brogues with a slight lift.
Katherine rounded out the quartet of siblings in a single-shoulder black blouse with a large bow tied around her midriff and matching slacks with contrasting pointy white heels.
The premiere, at which all the family members except Arnold kept their distance from Joseph, was an uncomfortable replay of the premiere of the first season of Fubar just over two years earlier, when Joseph beamed next to his father but wasn’t a part of any photos featuring his siblings.
While Patrick was pictured doing a workout with Joseph in 2021, there don’t appear to have been any public signs of a familial connection between the two since then, and Patrick’s other siblings have never been seen making similar overtures.
In 2023, a source told Page Six that Arnold and Joseph ‘are very close,’ but they claimed that the ‘other kids don’t love Joe.’

They added that the True Lies actor had ‘always treated [Joseph] like all his other kids’ after he had reportedly paid for his youngest son’s school and also bought his mother Mildred a house.
The source also claimed that ‘the other kids take [the affair] out on Joe.’
Although Katherine, Patrick, Christina and Christopher reportedly don’t have any interest in getting to know their half-brother better, he has publicly wished them the best in the past.
In one incident from 2019, Joseph wished Katherine ‘congratulations’ in a comment on her Instagram post about her wedding with Chris, even though he wasn’t invited to the ceremony.
Katherine she didn’t respond to the comment or appear to acknowledge it in any way.
Although Joseph’s siblings reportedly don’t have any desire to get to know him, he has continued to make overtures, including by wishing Katherine ‘congratulations’ on Instagram after her 2019 wedding to Chris, which her half-brother wasn’t invited to
