still has nothing but love for , even if her romance with his son, , is long over.
Miley and Patrick were first linked in November 2014 after being spotted kissing at a USC vs. Cal football game in Los Angeles.
Patrick Schwarzenegger's relationship with Miley Cyrus quickly became public, with paparazzi capturing their PDA-filled moments, from ringing in New Year's together with a sweet kiss to vacationing in Hawaii just weeks later.
While the chapter between Patrick and Miley has closed, Arnold has no hard feelings against Cyrus.
During a candid appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" Monday night, the 77-year-old action star opened up about his thoughts on the "Party In The U.S.A." artist.
'She's a wonderful, wonderful girl and human being,' Schwarzenegger told host . 'She came up to Sun Valley when we were skiing up there, and she was just a wonderful house guest. We just all loved her.'
'She was just a really good, good person and fun to hang out with,' the "Terminator" star continued. 'I'm sorry it didn't work out. But Patrick, in the meantime, found another girl that he got engaged with and he's getting married to in September.'
Before they became one of Hollywood's most unexpected couples in 2014, Patrick Schwarzenegger had his eyes on Miley Cyrus for years, literally.
Back in May 2011, a 17-year-old Patrick said, 'My eye is set on Miley.'
Fast forward to November 2014, when the two were photographed kissing at a USC football game, confirming what fans had been speculating.
According to insiders at Us Weekly, the duo had been friends for years, moving in the same social circles. 'She thinks he's hot, she thinks he's cool. Patrick is a nice good guy,' a source revealed. 'He's grown up in Hollywood just like her and it was only a matter of time before they hooked up.'
Their romance quickly heated up.
Throughout early 2015, the couple was spotted frequently, whether attending red carpet events, brunching beachside in Malibu, or cozying up at a Grammys afterparty. They officially confirmed their relationship on Valentine's Day by posting selfies together on Instagram. Patrick captioned his photo, 'Luckiest guy in the world,' while Miley gushed, 'Life couldn't get any better.'
While their relationship was short-lived, it was a quintessential mid-2010s Hollywood moment, two nepo babies, raised in the limelight, falling in love under the ever-watchful eye of the paparazzi. And for Patrick, it was a real-life crush that turned into reality.
While their whirlwind romance may be in the rearview mirror, both Patrick Schwarzenegger and Miley Cyrus have since found love with partners who bring out the best in them.
Cyrus was previously married to "Hunger Games" actor from 2018 until their divorce in 2020. Since 2021, she's been romantically linked to drummer , and the two have kept their relationship relatively private while continuing to support each other's careers.
Schwarzenegger moved on with model Abby Champion, whom he began dating in September 2015. The couple announced their engagement in December 2023 and are currently preparing to say "I do."
In a February 2025 interview with PEOPLE, "The White Lotus" actor gushed about his fiancée, revealing that it was her strong sense of family and shared values that won him over.
'Over the course of the years, I just continuously fell in love with her more and more, with the kind of human that she was becoming and that the relationship was becoming,' he shared.
During a March appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show," Patrick revealed that he and Champion decided to delay their wedding after he landed his breakout role as Saxon Ratliff on "The White Lotus."
'Finally, a year and a half ago, we got engaged. And it was our moment, it was this great thing,' he said at the time. 'And a few days later, I booked 'White Lotus,' and I was like, 'Abby, I know we're in this high of engagement, and we're gonna get married this year. But we're going to have to push it. I got 'White Lotus,' and I'm going to film for the next seven months in Thailand.''
Despite having to postpone the wedding, Champion 'was so happy" for her fiancé. "She was ecstatic because she was a huge fan,' he added.

Video: Parents' First Time Meeting Adopted Baby Will Bring You To Tears
Adopting a child is a life-changing decision for every parent. While this bold move brings you closer to completing your family, it comes with its own set of challenges. This is especially true for couples who have embarked on this amazing journey for the very first time. However, an Instagram video of parents meeting their baby following a successful adoption process will prove why it's all worth it in the end. Victoria Lawson and her husband shared their tear-jerking story of bringing a little one into their family, and it will certainly tug at your heartstrings. You must be willing to fully commit once you have decided to bring home a child and make them a part of your family. Raising a kid requires a great deal of devotion, love, care, time, and patience — something Victoria Lawson and her husband Zac seemed ready to give. Victoria shared a heartwarming video of how the parents' first meeting with their baby went shortly after adoption. The couple recently welcomed a beautiful girl, and the clip will hit you right in the feels. The mom revealed that they got a call about a nearly one-day-old baby in the NICU, and how it went after they said 'yes' to the adoption. The clips showed her and Zac breaking down into tears on their first encounter with the little one as she introduced her as Haven Nevaeh Lawson to the world. The pair stood in complete awe of their baby girl, while Victoria gently cradled her in her arms, and the dad emotionally looked down. Moreover, the video's caption explained that the parents spent days in the NICU with the baby post-adoption. It further stated how 'physically and emotionally' hard it has been, with Victoria expressing gratitude for having the opportunity to raise someone they can call their own. The couple has since brought Haven home, embarking on their parenthood journey and sharing several updates with their followers.

Fans of the BBC in the States are set to pay for news for the first time. In a move that has been trailed for several years, BBC Studios and BBC News are introducing a pay model starting at $49.99 per year or $8.99 per month to give users access to the BBC's news articles, features and the 24/7 livestream of the BBC News channel.

With a declining license fee and rising costs, the BBC has been under more and more pressure to generate commercial income via BBC Studios. It already makes money outside the UK via subscription services like BritBox, BBC Select and BBC Player.
