Patrick Schwarzenegger the Ultimate Cheerleader at Abby Champion's Victoria's Secret Debut
When it comes to being a devoted partner, Patrick Schwarzenegger truly excels.
The 32-year-old actor from White Lotus was seen in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday, October 15, showing his encouragement for his wife, Abby Champion, during her inaugural appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Sporting an entirely black leather ensemble that evoked a strong Grease aesthetic, Schwarzenegger maintained a stylish composure throughout the event. He joined Dylan Sprouse, another spouse of a VS Angel, whose wife, Barbara Palvin, was also featured in the runway presentation.
Prior to settling into his seat for the spectacle, Schwarzenegger ventured backstage to capture a photo with Champion, 28, just before her catwalk appearance.

Footage from the event circulated on social media depicted Schwarzenegger filming his wife as she graced the catwalk. Champion showcased a sheer, hot-pink lingerie gown complemented by a set of black angel wings.
“He's going to be my biggest cheerleader,” Champion informed Entertainment Tonight backstage on Wednesday. “I'll be searching for him in the crowd. Gotta spot the hubby.”
She further stated, “I've already instructed him, ‘Make sure you get those videos, understand? Stay focused.’ The video is crucial, he better not ruin it. He's aware.”
Champion also remarked on the “immense joy” of being recently married.
“I adore being a wife. Our wedding was the absolute best,” she continued. “I'm simply delighted to have such a kind and entertaining husband.”
Schwarzenegger and Champion exchanged vows on September 6 at the Gozzer Ranch country club located in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. For the nuptials, Champion chose a dress created by designer Danielle Frankel.
“The gown itself and its creator held immense significance for me,” she shared with Vogue in their wedding feature, released last month. “Given that fittings and style are central to my career, I was certain I desired to collaborate with someone I trusted entirely, someone with whom I could freely discuss my ideas and preferences. The instant I encountered Danielle, I recognized her as the perfect choice.”
Champion and Schwarzenegger shared their thoughts on their wedding with the publication just seven days after officially becoming spouses.
“I'm still in disbelief that it's concluded — it all felt like a beautiful blur,” Champion exclaimed enthusiastically. “I'm eagerly looking forward to embarking on this new phase of life with Patrick.”
The Relationship Progression of Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion
Their initial encounter was in 2015, when Schwarzenegger requested her contact information. After their inaugural date, they realized their connection was meant to last indefinitely. Schwarzenegger asked for her hand in marriage in December 2023.
Maria Shriver, Schwarzenegger’s mother, expressed her delight about their wedding on social media. (Shriver has Patrick, Katherine, 35, Christina, 34, and Christopher, 28, with her former husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger.)
“One moment you're adjusting his bow tie, the next he's tying the knot!” she posted on Instagram last month. “My goodness, how quickly time passes when you're a parent.”
She continued, “I feel such immense pride for them, for their affection, and their devotion to each other. They share the strongest friendship, and are enveloped by wonderful companions, a nurturing family, and divine blessings.”
Shriver confirmed that she “shed tears” during their wedding ceremony.
“Indeed, I did, but my heart was also overflowing with happiness. I am thankful to God for being present to see such a lovely partnership,” Shriver's message ended. “I hope the happy couple experiences a lifetime of mutual understanding, affection, and constant empathy. And enchantment! Congratulations, Patrick and Abby! My love for you both is everlasting and profound!”
