Patrick Schwarzenegger revealed that he and his fiancée Abby Champion are not planning to get married anytime soon. He mentioned that they haven't even started the wedding planning process yet. In an exclusive interview at Emporio Armani's spring 2024 collection launch party in New York City, Schwarzenegger, 30, shared that they are taking things slow. He mentioned that he is currently busy with work and will be out of town for a while.

The Gen V star surprised his longtime love with a romantic proposal in December 2023. The beach setup included a heart-shaped bouquet of roses and flower petals scattered on the sand. The couple shared a joint Instagram post with the caption "️FOREVER AND EVER ️" to celebrate the moment.

Schwarzenegger revealed that Champion, 27, was completely unaware of the proposal. He chose to pop the question during sunrise when she was still in her sweats, without makeup, and sound asleep. The heartfelt moment took Champion by surprise, making it even more special for the couple.

The actor shared that both he and Champion have grown a lot since they went public with their relationship in 2016. They continue to grow individually and together. They started dating when she was 18 and he was 21, and every day their relationship gets stronger.

Schwarzenegger mentioned that their wedding planning has been put on hold as he is currently busy filming the third season of HBO's The White Lotus. Patrick, the eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, announced in January that he would be joining the star-studded cast of the show.

Patrick shared his excitement about being part of The White Lotus, but he couldn't spill any details about the upcoming season set in Thailand. "I don't want to risk getting fired by revealing anything," he explained. "I have a strict NDA to follow. Whatever information is already online is all we can share for now. We're currently in the midst of filming."
