SHOCKING EXCLUSIVE: Arnold Schwarzenegger's Love Child Snubbed at Half-Brother's Wedding!

The drama never ends for the Governator and his family! In a jaw-dropping revelation, Joseph Baena, Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child born out of an affair with their housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena, was reportedly NOT invited to half-brother Patrick's wedding. Yes, you read that right - the 31-year-old White Lotus sensation tied the knot with Abby Champion on September 6 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, but Joseph, 27, was noticeably absent from the guest list.

According to a Monday report from TMZ (don't worry, we've got the scoop for you here!), Arnold's love child has been feeling the heat of family drama. And it seems like this isn't just about being left out - Joseph has a long history with his dad's family, including a complicated relationship with his half-siblings.

To refresh your memory, Joseph Baena was born after Arnold had an affair with Mildred Patricia Baena, their housekeeper at the time. The news became a nationwide scandal in 2011 when Joseph was just 13 years old! Can you imagine being that young and having to deal with this kind of family drama?

Arnold, now 78, shares daughters Katherine (35) and Christina (34), as well as sons Patrick and Christopher, with ex-wife Maria Shriver (69). But it seems like the whole family is still trying to work through their issues. In a shocking turn of events, Joseph was recently spotted at his dad's FUBAR season two premiere in June - but even that seemed awkward.

The Terminator star has been open about his mistakes in the past. In a 2017 interview with Men's Journal, he confessed: 'I can beat myself up as much as I want — it's not gonna change the situation. So the key thing is, how do you move forward? How do you have a great relationship with your kids?' He also joked about being able to turn back time and tell himself "no" - but unfortunately, that's just not possible!

The family drama doesn't seem like it's dying down anytime soon. We can't help but wonder what really went on behind the scenes of Patrick's wedding. Was Joseph snubbed by his half-brother and sister? And how does this affect his relationship with their dad?

As for Maria Shriver, she filed for divorce from Arnold just a week after he confessed to the affair in 2011. The couple had been living apart and navigating 'the future of our relationship' at the time.

We're left with more questions than answers - but one thing's for sure: this family drama is far from over! Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy scandal!
