Arnold Schwarzenegger is currently in a casual relationship with Hungarian actress Timea Palacsik, according to a source. The source reveals that while they are not officially a couple yet, Arnold has developed strong feelings for Timea. Their mutual friends were responsible for bringing them together.
According to an insider, Schwarzenegger and Palacsik have been in close proximity to each other for some time now, given their shared backgrounds.
The source adds that they hit it off immediately upon meeting each other. They are taking their relationship slowly but are an incredibly cute couple who are constantly laughing and enjoying each other's company. She has a knack for making him feel youthful.
Schwarzenegger and Palacsik, the owner of Nobu Budapest restaurant in Los Angeles and an actress in Wonder Woman, have been romantically linked since earlier this month. The couple was seen kissing during a bike ride in Venice Beach, California on Sunday, November 12.
Schwarzenegger's previous relationship was with physical therapist Heather Milligan, which started in 2012, although the details of their breakup are unknown. He was previously married to Maria Shriver from 1986 to 2011. The former governor of California and Shriver have four children together: Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher. In addition, Schwarzenegger is also the father of Joseph, whom he shares with his former housekeeper Mildred "Patty" Baena.
During his marriage to Shriver, Schwarzenegger engaged in an extramarital relationship with Baena, who is now 62 years old, resulting in the birth of her son.
In his Arnold documentary, released on Netflix in May, he candidly acknowledged his wrongdoing, stating, "I acknowledge the immense pain I have caused to my family due to my terrible mistake. My actions have inflicted suffering upon everyone involved - Maria, the children, Joseph, and his mother. This burden is something I will carry for the remainder of my life."
Schwarzenegger and Shriver's divorce was officially concluded in December 2021, six months prior to reaching an agreement. As part of the settlement, it was agreed that Shriver would be entitled to half of Schwarzenegger's retirement accounts.
Despite their separation, Schwarzenegger and Shriver have set aside their differences to co-parent their children and grandchildren together. Their daughter Katherine, aged 33, and her husband Chris Pratt are parents to two daughters. Additionally, the 44-year-old Marvel Cinematic Universe star also has a son named Jack from his previous marriage to Anna Faris.
"They absolutely adore being grandparents," Katherine revealed to Us in December 2020. "It's a wonderful and exhilarating new chapter for both of them. As their daughter, witnessing them thrive in this role is truly a heartwarming experience. These newfound roles have everyone buzzing with excitement, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of it."
