Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Quiet Life at 78
Homemade oatmeal cookies, a soup-loving pig, and a parade of pets roaming a multimillion-dollar estate—this isn’t a storybook. It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daily reality. Once the Terminator, Arnold has embraced a gentler role: devoted animal dad.
At 78, he has stepped away from the red carpet, exchanging it for the rustle of hooves and joyful squeals. Sharing his Mediterranean-style mansion with his partner, Heather Milligan, and a collection of beloved animals, Arnold now structures his days around oatmeal, routines, and unconditional love.
A Peek Inside Arnold’s Private Sanctuary
Nestled in Pacific Palisades, one of L.A.’s most exclusive neighborhoods, Arnold’s estate spans more than two and a half acres. It offers sweeping views of the ocean and surrounding canyons. Once a bustling family home, it now serves as a quiet retreat for Arnold, Heather, and their six pets, who roam freely between house and grounds.
The home doubles as a family hub. His five adult children—Katherine, Christina, Patrick, Christopher, and Joseph—visit often. The seven-bedroom estate easily accommodates shared meals, outdoor time, and casual gatherings. Despite his split from Maria Shriver in 2021, Arnold has maintained a cordial relationship, and the family remains close.
