Inside the lakeside vows, the Hollywood guest list, and the love story that led to Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion’s unforgettable day.
Patrick Schwarzenegger, 31, and model Abby Champion, 28, have officially tied the knot in a wedding straight out of a movie. The couple, who first sparked romance rumors in 2015 and got engaged in December 2023, exchanged vows on September 6, 2025, overlooking the serene waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho.
The location wasn’t random, the pair have spent many summers at the Gozzer Ranch, making it the perfect backdrop for their big day. Abby looked timeless in a classic white gown, while Patrick matched her elegance in a white tuxedo jacket and black trousers. The ceremony was intimate yet star-studded.
Family, Friends, and A-List Guests
This was no ordinary wedding guest list. Patrick’s proud parents, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, were in attendance, along with his sister Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt and her husband Chris Pratt. Hollywood friends also showed their love, including Rob Lowe and Jason Isaacs, who recently played Patrick’s father in The White Lotus.
It was a rare mix of family legacy and Hollywood friendship, with moments that felt both deeply personal and glitteringly glamorous.
From Calvin Klein to Forever
Patrick and Abby’s love story has been years in the making. After going public on Instagram in 2016, they went on to star in a Calvin Klein campaign together in 2019, showcasing their relationship to the world. By December 2023, Patrick was ready to make it official, proposing with a rose-covered beach setup that looked straight out of a rom-com flick.
Reflecting on the proposal and wedding planning, Patrick admitted to an interview that his main role was to make sure Abby felt supported: “As I’ve learned, the role is just to make sure that she’s happy, just whatever she wants to do.” That simple philosophy carried them all the way to their lakeside vows.
A Love Built on Shared Values
While their careers have placed them in the spotlight, Patrick with his growing acting résumé and Abby with her modeling work for global fashion houses, their bond has always been grounded in something deeper.
Earlier this year, Patrick told in an interview that what won him over was Abby’s devotion to family and their aligned values: “Over the years, I just continuously fell in love with her more and more, with the kind of human that she was becoming.”
This wedding was beyond two people joining their lives, it was about honoring a love that has been growing for nearly a decade, surrounded by those who mattered most.
Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion’s wedding captured the best of both worlds: Hollywood sparkle and small-town soul. With a lakeside view, A-list guests, and a love story built on patience and shared values, their big day proved that sometimes the most unforgettable weddings are the ones that feel both intimate and iconic.
