Patrick Schwarzenegger might have achieved worldwide stardom after his role in 'The White Lotus' Season 3, but it's not helping his personal life. The actor's engagement to his fiancée, Abby Champion, could reportedly be in trouble. An insider exclusively revealed to Radar Online that the star's delay in setting a wedding date may eventually end up with his partner asking him to leave. The couple has been dating since 2015 and announced their engagement in December 2023.
Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion's engagement struggling, claims 'source'
Patrick Schwarzenegger's engagement with fiancée Abby Champion is reportedly taking a hit amid his newfound stardom from his appearance on 'The White Lotus' Season 3. According to Radar Online's report, a source revealed that the actor is allegedly still waiting to set up a wedding date, which isn't sitting well with his partner. The insider also disclosed that the model might end it all for good.
The individual expressed that it took too long for Schwarzenegger to propose. Now that the couple has been 'engaged for a year and a half,' there are still 'no solid plans in place' for the pair to walk down the aisle and tie the knot. Meanwhile, the actor's friends have another reason why his relationship with the model might crumble.
They believe Schwarzenegger's growing popularity after 'The White Lotus' might be a reason for his actions. The source said, 'He's loving the attention he's been getting from female fans a little too much for Abby's liking.' The couple initially planned to have a summer destination wedding, but it most likely won't happen, given the delay on the actor's end as the date gets closer.
Champion has reportedly waited long enough and is ready to break up if her fiancée doesn't set a date and plan the wedding. The source said, 'If Patrick doesn't get a move on, she might just decide to move on without him.'
Contrary to the report, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion are seemingly happily enjoying their time together. In March, the couple enjoyed a date night at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2025 and also posed together for the SKIMS Wedding Shop campaign. In April, they enjoyed Coachella 2025, cuddling up in several photos posted by the model on Instagram.

Patrick Schwarzenegger's Next Big Flex
Jet-lagged and hungry, Patrick Schwarzenegger eyes a craft services table stacked with pastries and sandwiches before turning his attention to the Sugarfish sushi delivery on the table in front of him. The 31-year-old actor and entrepreneur has barely had time to catch his breath in the past two months, having traveled to 15 countries to promote his cult HBO series, The White Lotus. 'I always carry bars on me,' he says, reaching into his pocket to pull out two Mosh protein bars, the brand he cofounded in 2021. 'Especially on filming days when you don't know what the snacks are. I always bring my own.' Cody Pickens for Forbes Much like his protein shake–obsessed White Lotus character, Saxon Ratliff, Schwarzenegger watches what he eats. The similarities continue: He also graduated from an elite university with a business degree, comes from a powerful family and is no stranger to wealth. But while Saxon had yet to move beyond the luxe life he inherited from his parents, Schwarzenegger is finally making a name for himself—in business and onscreen. The son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, he grew up in a world of the Hollywood and political elite as the child of an actor-turned-billionaire California governor and a broadcast journalist who happens to be a Kennedy. He fell in love with acting early, often visiting his father's movie sets as a boy. 'There were times where I was, like, 'Oh, God, these are big shoes to fill. Should I change my last name and have a stage name?' Those things crossed my mind,' Schwarzenegger admits. 'But ultimately, I'm very proud of my dad and the life that he's given me, and the last name he's built and the brand he's built.' It was his father's penchant for business that Schwarzenegger adopted first. His mother remembers him as a preteen glued to the TV when Shark Tank came on and asking for a few hundred bucks for his birthday to start an E-Trade account and buy Apple stock. In 2008, Schwarzenegger—then 15 years old—interned for film producer John Davis, a large investor in Wetzel's Pretzels, who had just sold his stake (with an investor group) for around $36 million, or 13 times his initial investment. That caught the high schooler's attention, especially when he learned that Elise and Rick Wetzel were founding a new fast-casual pizza venture. Schwarzenegger's parents loaned him around $50,000 to invest in Blaze Pizza, joining investors including LeBron James. Six years later, in 2014, Schwarzenegger opened the first of his two Blaze franchises in his native Los Angeles. Superfinery: Schwarzenegger wore custom Balmain to this year's Met Gala. Dia Disasupil/Getty 'What I got to see were consumers looking for healthier alternatives, vegan topping options, the healthier crust,' he says. 'So I was like, 'I'm going to continue to invest in [other] companies that are doing this.' ' In 2015, nearly eight years after his initial investment, Schwarzenegger (then a senior in college) sold his shares of Blaze for at least $2 million, Forbes estimates. He then paid his parents back for the initial loan and invested in other better-for-you brands, including the hydration powder brand Liquid IV and two prebiotic sodas, Olipop and Poppi, the latter of which sold for $2 billion earlier this year. As his portfolio grew, so did his acting credits. While attending USC, Schwarzenegger started taking acting classes—a weekly commitment he made for the next decade. He landed a few small TV and film roles in those early years, including Grown Ups 2 and the TV series Scream Queens, but nothing felt quite like a big break. When the pandemic brought the film industry to a standstill in 2020, he moved in with his mother, and the two launched Mosh—a protein bar company designed to promote brain health. (Shriver is a longtime advocate for Alzheimer's research after witnessing the disease's effects on her late father, Sargent Shriver, who helped found the Peace Corps, Head Start and other Kennedy-era programs.) Mosh contains ingredients such as citicoline, lion's mane mushrooms and omega-3s, which advocates believe improve cognition. '[My mother] is way more of the visionary, and I'm the one that's making her dream come true,' Schwarzenegger says. 'And playing devil's advocate on the business side.' The duo has personally invested nearly $1 million so far growing Mosh. 'It wasn't like some celebrity-backed brand where we raised money or hired an agency,' he says. 'We made the bars with a doctor and formulator; we did everything. But then it was also Covid, when the supply chain was terrible—everything that could have gone wrong went wrong.' Otherwise, their timing was perfect. The burgeoning protein bar industry, which had combined revenue of around $5 billion in 2024, experienced a major resurgence after 2020 when consumers became less limited by Covid policies. Mosh had $4 million in sales in 2022, its first full year. 'He was very deliberate about how we built the company,' Shriver says. 'I wanted to [put the bars in] Target the first year and he said, 'No, we have to build; we have to get to know our consumer.' He's not totally calm in the rest of his life, but in business, he's really calm and knowledgeable.' In 2023, Mosh raised $3 million to support retail expansion in a Series A round led by Arnold Schwarzenegger's longtime financial advisor's investment firm and earned $7 million in revenue. By 2024, Mosh was being sold in Erewhon and Sprouts and ended the year with $12 million in sales. It has yet to turn a profit. Schwarzenegger hadn't abandoned his acting career, but there was a moment early in Mosh's launch when he considered walking away from Hollywood 'if acting didn't take off.' That was, until he booked a role in an HBO Max miniseries starring Colin Firth. He later played a main character in a spin-off of Amazon Prime's show The Boys in 2023 before landing The White Lotus. He left to film Mike White's hit series in Thailand in early 2024, but pulling double duty took a toll on him. 'It was near impossible to try to work on Mosh while filming in Thailand,' Schwarzenegger recalls. 'There were nights that I would have to wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. and have meetings with Sprouts or Kroger on Zoom.' For now, he doesn't plan to leave the company, even though he has already reached his modest first milestone—to grow the business past $10 million in revenue. 'That was my goal, to be the one running the ship to get it there,' he says. 'It's a very different type of business to build from zero to $10 million [versus] $10 million to $100 million. And you need someone that's in the streets every day, all day, to grow it to that next level.' This year, Mosh is on track to book more than $20 million in revenue and is raising money again this summer with the hope of accelerating growth in retail and becoming profitable, says Jeff Gamsey, Mosh's president and COO. Schwarzenegger and Shriver are now looking to expand the brand into Costco and Walmart. In the meantime, life is only getting busier. But for Schwarzenegger, busier is almost always better. 'A few years ago, I had a studio executive tell me that I needed to stop the business stuff, that it was too much having one foot in one area and one foot in another,' he says. 'But I think there's a lot of symmetry between film and business, and understanding that as my brand grows, hopefully [my acting career] grows. At the end of the day, as an actor, you are a business—you are a brand.'

‘Squid Game' Season 3 trailer drops, teases tragic endgame: Everything to know about the final season of Netflix's biggest show
The game is on. Squid Game, Netflix's South Korean survival thriller that's the streamer's most-watched series in any language, returns for its third and final season on June 27. In preparation, Netflix released the first trailer for Season 3 as part of its Tudum 2025 live event. The trailer finds Seong Gi-hun, aka Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae), returning to the game after his rebellion has been snuffed out and he was captured by the Front Man. The two-minute clip (below) shows 456 discovering that the Front Man's identity and teases the next rounds of deadly contests as the players and their captors hurtle towards a tragic endgame. More from GoldDerby Comedians get serious: how the personal lives, loss and growth shaped their game-changing Netflix specials 'Your Friends and Neighbors' star Lena Hall on her emotionally raw Hole cover in the season finale: 'This is what I do' The entire 'Karate Kid' franchise, ranked (animated series included!) Speaking to Gold Derby ahead of the trailer launch, Emmy-winning creator told us what was in store for Season 3. "It's going to be a mixture of everything. You can imagine that it's going to be more brutal, more violent. It's going to be darker, even funnier. "I mean, if I have to pick one season out of all three, my favorite, the best season is going to be Season 3." Here's what you need to remember about Squid Game as you head into the final round. Season 2 picks up two years after the events of Season 1. Gi-hun, the game's only survivor, took home $45.6 billion Korean won, but was haunted and traumatized by his experience, and vowed to go back and end the operation, which preys on people's financial desperation, once and for all. After a lot of searching, Gi-hun gets in contact with the masked Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) who runs the game, who agrees to let him join the next game as a player. Gi-hun (Player 456) wakes up back in the dorm with 455 other players. What Gi-hun doesn't know is that the Front Man is really Hwang In-ho, the brother of detective Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon), who has been investigating the game since Season 1 and linked up with Gi-hun as they searched for the secret island where the game takes place. In-ho joins the game as Player 001, saying his name is Oh Young-il, and manipulates the game from the inside. This time, the players take a vote at the end of each round as to whether they want to end the game and walk away with a share of the prize money and their lives, or keep going until there's just one winner. Gi-hun tries to convince people to walk away, but the game goes on. Things reach a turning point when players realize that murder is allowed in the game, and some ruthless competitors start massacring their rivals. In the pandemonium, Gi-hun and his allies stage a rebellion against the masked, pink-clad guards who control the game, which ends with Gi-hun and his best friend, Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), captured. In-ho fakes his in-game death and puts his Front Man mask back on, and executes Jung-bae in front of Gi-hun. The Front Man is trying to crush Gi-hun's spirit and get him to abandon all hope of stopping the game. And the game is still only halfway through. Meanwhile, Jun-ho continues to search for the island with the help of Captain Park (Oh Dal-su), a fisherman who saved him when he fell in the water at the end of Season 1. But little does he know, Captain Park is a traitor, and is secretly working to sabotage the search party. And then there's No-eul (Park Gyu-young), a guard who is at odds with other, corrupt guards who are harvesting organs from players to sell on the black market. No-eul, who has fled North Korea and will do anything for her daughter, mercy-kills players before they can be harvested, and the corrupt guards intimidate her into stopping — for now. If there's anyone on the inside who might end up helping Gi-hun, it's her. In Season 2, Gi-hun was unable to stop the game through persuasion or force, so he'll have to find another method. The sinister VIPs, who appeared in Season 1 to watch the game for their own sick pleasure, will return. Here's the official synopsis: "A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal. Picking up in the aftermath of Season 2's bloody cliffhanger, the third and final season of Netflix's most popular series finds Gi-hun at his lowest point yet. But the Squid Game stops for no one, so Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone's resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences. Meanwhile, In-ho resumes his role as Front Man to welcome the mysterious VIPs, and his brother Jun-ho continues his search for the elusive island, unaware there's a traitor in their midst. Will Gi-hun make the right decisions, or will Front Man finally break his spirit?" Like the previous two seasons, Season 3 is written and directed by Hwang. Seasons 2 and 3 were shot concurrently, which is what allows Season 3 to come so soon after Season 2, which premiered in December 2024. All six episodes will be available beginning June 27. As of now, director Hwang has no plans for more of this incarnation of Squid Game. But Netflix is reportedly developing an English-language Squid Game series with Academy Award-winning director David Fincher, and a second season of reality competition series Squid Game: The Challenge is also in the works.
