More than ten years later, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Heather Milligan are still together.

The two have given many hints of their connection since the Terminator star and Milligan were first linked in 2013 after they were seen out on dates in Santa Monica.

Schwarzenegger and Milligan have attended public events together and Schwarzenegger has praised Milligan in interviews.

In a May 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Schwarzenegger discussed starting over with his “wonderful girlfriend” after divorcing Maria Shriver.

She has achieved great success. He said of Milligan, “I love her and I’m really proud of her.

After 25 years of marriage, Schwarzenegger and Shriver divorced in 2011 as a result of the actor’s extramarital affairs. Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher are their four joint children. As a result of his affair with longtime housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena, Schwarzenegger is also the father of Joseph Baena.

Schwarzenegger and Shriver have maintained a friendly relationship despite divorcing while co-parenting their older children. Schwarzenegger said to THR, “She and I are incredibly good friends and very close, and we are quite happy of the way we raised our kids.

Here is all there is to know about Milligan, from her professional background to her relationship with Schwarzenegger.

She practices physical therapy.

Physiatrist Milligan has “over 20 years of experience in the field,” according to her biography on Elite OrthoSport, a business she started in 2013. She holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in addition to her Physical Therapy degree.

According to the website for Elite OrthoSport, she “maintains three highly regarded certifications, placing her in an elite class of physical therapists in the country.”

She was a competitive gymnast in the past.

Similarly athletic to Schwarzenegger, Milligan is very fit. She spent 20 years as a competitive gymnast before starting Elite OrthoSport. She has also worked “extensively with athletes of all ages and competition levels including professional boxing, MMA, NFL, NBA, MLB, tennis, figure skating, volleyball, soccer, track, gymnastics, and a variety of recreational athletes,” according to her Elite OrthoSport bio.

She adores animals a lot.

It’s evident that Milligan has a soft spot for animals if her Instagram account is any indication. She frequently uploads images of her canines as well as those of Donkey Lulu and Whiskey, the miniature ponies owned by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

She has been in a relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger for almost ten years.

Following multiple sightings of Schwarzenegger and Milligan out on outings in and around Santa Monica in 2013, speculation about their relationship began. Despite the fact that Milligan has only occasionally shown off their romance on Instagram, the actor has appeared with her at countless public events.

At the Environmental Media Awards in October 2014, they made one of their first public appearances. Later, in February 2015, they walked the red carpet together for the Goldene Kamera celebration.

Through the years, they have often visited Oktoberfest together in addition to attending receptions and movie premieres.

She is close to the children of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Due to her frequent outings with Schwarzenegger’s kids, Milligan appears to have a close bond with them.

Schwarzenegger and Milligan were pictured together in November 2017 at the GQ Men of the Year Awards with his son Patrick, and in November 2018, they were seen together at FIG restaurant in Santa Monica, California, with his daughter Katherine and his future son-in-law Chris Pratt.

At the time, a source informed PEOPLE that “Chris and Katherine met up with Arnold and his girlfriend Heather for Sunday breakfast at the FIG restaurant.” Arnold appeared pleased to have Chris and Katherine with him. The people at their table was described as a “lively bunch” by a different insider to PEOPLE.

She and Schwarzenegger caught up with more of his family in September 2022 while having a beer with his sons Christopher and Patrick at the German Oktoberfest.
