Arnold Schwarzenegger makes rare appearance with much younger girlfriend Heather Milligan
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger has made a rare public appearance with his much younger girlfriend of 14 years, Heather Milligan.
The “Terminator” star and former Governor of California, 78, stepped out with his 51-year-old date at the Austrian World Summit taking place in Vienna, Austria.
They were joined by former US Vice-President, Kamala Harris and Austria’s President Alexander Van der Bellen.
While Mulligan has successfully managed to stay out of the spotlight during her long-term relationship with the huge movie star, the notoriously private physical therapist was happily photographed by her man’s side in support of his he Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative.
The last time the couple was spotted in public together was during a dinner date at Nobu Malibu in April.
Prior to that, they made a rare red carpet appearance together at the LA premiere of the second series of his Netflix show, “FUBAR.”
Schwarzenegger and Milligan’s relationship began in 2012 and originally stemmed from a medical referral.
As the actor was preparing to film the 2013 action thriller “Escape Plan” alongside Sylvester Stallone, he called for some physical therapy help to recover from a recent shoulder surgery.
Milligan was recommended as an elite sports physical therapist who worked closely with professional athletes at the time.
While their relationship remained purely professional throughout his rehab, the actor reached out to his therapist once the film was wrapped and his treatment was over, asking for a “thank you” date.
While they prefer a life away from the cameras, the actor has gushed about his long-term girlfriend plenty of times.
In 2023, he told People that he was madly in love with Milligan’s independence.
“I think the world of her. I love that she’s into working. She’s clearly independent. She just is driven as hell.”
In a separate YouTube video, Schwarzenegger again boasted about how talented his lady love was.
“Heather Milligan is not only my girlfriend, but she’s also a great, if not, the best physical therapist in the world. That’s actually how we met. She fixed my shoulder.”
