Patrick Schwarzenegger Marries Abby Champion in Intimate Idaho Ceremony

Lead: Actor Patrick Schwarzenegger and model fiancée Abby Champion tied the knot on September 6 at Gozzer Ranch Country Club in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, surrounded by family and close friends. The ceremony, postponed last year due to Schwarzenegger’s filming commitments, marked their decade-long relationship reaching a new milestone.

Nut Graf: Schwarzenegger, 31, and Champion, 28, first began dating in 2015 and became engaged in December 2023. Their lakeside ceremony reunited the groom’s famous family-Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver-as well as his sister Katherine and husband Chris Pratt, underscoring the event’s personal significance and high-profile allure.

Ceremony Highlights

  • Location and Attire: Held at the exclusive Gozzer Ranch Country Club, the bride wore a full-skirted, sleeveless cream dress with a long veil, while the groom donned a cream tuxedo jacket paired with black trousers.
  • Guest List: Alongside the Schwarzenegger-Shriver clan, attendees included Champion’s parents, Greg and Laura, and her sister Baskin, reflecting both families’ close involvement.
  • Delayed Wedding: The couple’s original plans were postponed when Patrick filmed the third season of The White Lotus in Thailand. He flew directly from set to Idaho to ensure the ceremony proceeded this weekend.

The Road to ‘I Do’

Patrick Schwarzenegger rose to wider prominence through his role as Saxon Ratcliffe in Gen V and later garnered critical acclaim for The White Lotus, prompting his busy shooting schedule in early 2025. Despite career demands, he remained committed to personal milestones with Champion, whom he credits for his professional and personal growth.

Looking Ahead

Following their marriage, the newlyweds will balance Schwarzenegger’s upcoming romantic comedy Love of Your Life and Champion’s modeling career. Fans anticipate further celebrations, including an upcoming reception in Los Angeles later this month.
