Arnold Schwarzenegger Son, Joseph Baena, Graduates High School While His Dad Skips Ceremony

MStars News has learned that Arnold Schwarzenegger's lovechild, Joseph Baena, graduated from high school last week, surrounded by his loved ones, but one person seemed to be missing: his dad.

According to TMZ, Arnold missed his son's ceremony opting to go on a lunch date with his daughter, Katherine, in Santa Monica on Thursday.

The gossip site claims that Baena's mother, Mildred Patricia "Patty" Baena, who was the Schwarzeneggers' maid, posed for pictures with her son as he smiled for the camera in his royal blue cap and gown.

Baena graduated from Frontier High School in Bakersfield, California. While some may think it was for the best Arnold not to be present at his son's graduation due to his celebrity status, there are the millions out there who believe that no matter the circumstances, Arnold should've been there to see his child walk across the stage to get his diploma.

It's unknown what his son wanted, but we're sure he probably wouldn't have mind having his pops by his side in photos.

We do know that Baena was a very popular student during his years in High School. MStars News previously reported that the love child of the actor and his maid almost won homecoming king.

Despite not taking home the crown, Baena did make top 5. Now Baena is all grown up and prepping for college, which we're sure his daddy has all taken care of!

Over the weekend, it appears that Arnold didn't spend time with the graduate either. He posted photos of the body building contest that he attended, the Arnold Classic Brazil.

We have a champion: Big Ramy (the one on the left in the previous photo). Congrats. A photo posted by Arnold Schwarzenegger (@schwarzenegger) on May 30, 2015 at 5:42pm PDT

MStars News wants to know what you think! Do you believe Arnold should've been at his son's graduation no matter if he was born from a different woman, aka a mistress? Or, do you believe Arnold was doing the right thing by just missing out completely due to the history and his fame? Sound off below!
