And this week the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver revealed what makes them work after being together for 10 years.

Patrick gave his lady love a two-diamond engagement ring
Champion looked overcome with emotion on the phone as she flashed her sparkly diamond ring toward the camera.
The Moxie leading man has been dating the Meet Me At The Jane star since 2015.
Having previously been linked to other A-list beauties like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus, Patrick and Abby have been going strong ever since they were publicly spotted enjoying a date night in West Hollywood at Nice Guy.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son gushed to E! News about the qualities that attracted him to Abby in the first place, explaining, ‘She’s a hard worker, dedicated, determined.’
The duo celebrated their engagement with friends and family over cake
The Daniel Isn’t Real star added that he admired that Abby moved from Alabama to pursue her modeling dream.
He added that, ‘We love each other and it’s okay when she goes away for a week or I go away for a month filming.’
According to the Terminal List star, the pair moved in together at the end of last year.
The blonde-haired beauty has achieved her goal of becoming a famous model, even appearing in the Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 2.

While the couple typically keep details about their relationship private, Abby proudly shares snaps of herself with Patrick on Instagram for her followers.
Although the couple have never starred in a film together, they did pose on the same cover of Vogue Spain back in 2018.
In a sweet birthday post dedicated to the model on her 25th birthday, Patrick wrote, ‘Love this girl so much!! Such a hard worker.’
Schwarzenegger and Champion were first romantically linked in September 2015, before making their relationship Instagram official in February 2016
He added that he adored how ‘beautiful’ and ‘faithful’ his long-term love was.
‘Drinks 2 cups of coffee! Loves ice cream. Loves her sugary cocktails,’ the MOSH co-founder joked.
In 2015, he split from Cyrus after five months of dating due to their demanding schedules.
‘They’re just in two different places in their lives – he’s in college and she’s focused on her music and career,’ a source told People, at the time.
Patrick graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Business and a minor in cinematic arts in May 2016.
Two years prior, he sparked dating rumors with Swift, after the pop star spent July 4th with him at the legendary Kennedy family property in Hyannisport.
Despite romantic speculation between the pair, Swift actually had a summer fling with Schwarzenegger’s cousin Conor Kennedy, son of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy, not him.
