Big news in the celebrity world: Patrick Schwarzenegger, known for his acting chops and being the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, took to his Instagram on Tuesday to announce that he had popped the question to the 26-year-old model model Abby Champion.
It's official, after eight years together, they're taking the next big step. The couple went public with their decision on Instagram, captioning their post with a simple yet heartfelt “FOREVER AND EVER” surrounded by love hearts. It's clear they're over the moon about this new chapter.
Their announcement came with some sweet photos too. One shows them sharing a romantic moment on the beach, with Abby proudly displaying her new diamond engagement ring. There's also a picture of them posing with a cake that says “Congratulations,” which is just the cherry on top of their celebration.
These two first let the world in on their relationship back in February 2016, after a period of speculation. They've clearly enjoyed a fun and strong bond since then. Patrick once shared a memory of their first date, where Abby's choice to order from the kids' menu left a lasting impression. It's those little things, right?
What's really nice to hear is how Patrick talks about Abby. Back in 2019, he told E! News that having Abby by his side is like having a constant cheerleader. He believes that in a relationship, it's key to be each other's biggest supporter, and it seems Abby embodies that for him.
Their engagement even got a thumbs-up from Patrick's mom, Maria Shriver. She shared her happiness on Instagram, saying how thrilled and inspired she is by their love story.
Here's to the next chapter in their journey together!
