Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver reunited for a rare photo together more than a decade after their split.
Katherine Schwarzenegger shared the sweet snap of her parents while honoring her father’s 79th birthday via Instagram on Thursday.
“Happy Birthday, Dad ❤️,” Arnold’s eldest child captioned the tribute. “So lucky you’re ours… and even luckier our kids get you as Opa.”

Katherine, 36, kicked off the social media slideshow with throwback photos of herself and the actor.
Halfway through the carousel, Shriver made an appearance in what appeared to be a recent snap with Arnold.
The journalist, 70, and her ex-husband were both bundled up and sitting beside each other in the ski trip snap.
“So lucky you’re ours… and even luckier our kids get you as Opa,” Katherine (pictured above in March 2024) wrote via Instagram to honor Arnold’s 79th year. katherineschwarzenegger/Instagram

Katherine posted another picture from the same family vacation, featuring her younger brother Patrick Schwarzenegger — and the “White Lotus” alum, 32, commented with multiple red heart emojis.
It is unclear whether the siblings’ brother and sister, Christopher Schwarzenegger and Christina Schwarzenegger, were also present for the getaway.
Social media users gushed over Arnold and Shriver seemingly “still get[ting] along” in the comments section.
The duo, notably, both appeared in Katherine’s 2024 Instagram post documenting a different ski trip, but they were not photographed that time around.

The former couple, who wed in April 1986, separated 25 years later when news broke that Arnold fathered son Joseph Baena with the family’s former housekeeper Mildred Baena.
Arnold and Shriver’s divorce was finalized in December 2021.
The “Terminator” star clarified to the Hollywood Reporter in 2023 that he remained “very close” to his former spouse and considered her a “really good friend.”

“Even though we had this drama, we did Easter together, Mother’s Day together, the Christmases together, all birthdays — everything together,” he gushed at the time. “If there’s Oscars for how to handle divorce, Maria and I should get it for having the least amount of impact on the kids.”
In a March 2025 podcast episode, Shriver agreed “there will always be love” between herself and Arnold.
“He’s the father of my children. We’re grandparents together,” she explained to Oprah Winfrey last year. “I don’t want to have hate, I don’t want to have anger in my body towards another person. I don’t want that in my life at all.”
