Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are known to have one of the most famed rivalries in Hollywood. However, their kids seem to be on a different course. Arnold’s son Joseph Baena appeared on Stallone’s daughters’ podcast putting to bed their famed rivalry.
Baena, born to Arnold’s house-help Mildred Patricia Baena, does not receive a lot of love from Arnold’s other children, as per reports. Arnold has five children, four of them are with his ex-wife Maria Shriver, and the other is Baena. On the other, Sylvester also has five children: Two sons from his first marriage and three daughters from his latest marriage with Jennifer Flavin.
Two of Stallone’s daughters Sophia and Sistine are podcasters. Their podcast is called UNWAXED. They have had multiple famous guests on their podcast including their father Sylvester and mother Jennifer Flavin. One of the other famous guests was Baena. He was part of episode #65 titled ‘Famous Dads with Joseph Baena.’ The episode was released in January 2022.
Joseph Baena opened up about the close relationship he and his father Arnold Schwarzenegger share
The famous children talked about various things during the podcast including Baena’s fitness routine, dating history, upcoming films, and even his relationship with his father. He opened up about how close he is to his father now. However, he was quite nervous in the beginning.
He said, “I grew up with my mom and I was always nervous and I didn‘t want him to think bad of me and be like, ‘What the heck is this guy doing? He‘s just partying all the time.’
“Now it‘s like awesome. I’m so close to my dad and we joke about everything.”

As for what they talk about, Baena explained that his father has an interest in the “drama” in his life. “He‘s like, ‘Tell me everything, tell me about the drama, tell me about the girls,’” he said.
Baena also talked about how he has no intention to change his last name even though he is on great terms with his father. He explained, “I never had the Schwarzenegger name. I think really the thing is that I haven‘t focused on changing it. I’m doing my own thing. I haven’t thought of it that much.
“I have a last name already. I’m already doing so much and succeeding and moving forward with my goals. That‘s the last thing on my mind.”
25-year-old Joseph Baena, who has already acted in various projects such as ‘Chariot’, ‘Called to Duty’, and ‘Bully High’, has several more projects lined up in store including American Spark, directed by Michael Baumgarten.
