Arnold Schwarzenegger is not engaged to longterm partner Heather Milligan after the physiotherapist was seen wearing a ring on her wedding finger in London this week.
The Terminator star, 76, stepped out with Milligan, 48, at private members’ club Annabel’s in the UK capital on Tuesday.
Milligan flaunted her ageless figure as she opted for a total black with top and elegant trousers – but all eyes swiftly went to a dazzling ring on her finger.
However, sources have confirmed to TMZ that Arnold and Heather are not engaged.
Arnold was previously married to Maria Shriver, 67, but the pair split in 2011 after it emerged the star had fathered a son Joseph Baena with their housekeeper Mildred Baena.
His divorce from Maria was finally completed in 2021.
Arnold and Heather have been dating since 2013.
He also has four children with his ex-wife: daughters Katharine, 33, Christina, 31, and sons Patrick, 29 and Christopher, 25.
While it was difficult to navigate initially, the longtime leading man has since established a relationship with Baena, who has turned out to follow in his dad’s footsteps with his love of weightlifting, and exercise in general, and his passion for acting.
In London the former bodybuilder graced the stage for an Evening With Arnold Schwarzenegger presented by Fane – where he chatted to Jake Humphrey.
During the event the Total Recall star promoted and discussed his new book Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life.
The former Governor of California looked in his highest spirit while taking to stage.
According to a description of the book from Amazon, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life details ‘the seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life – distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone.’
Speaking to People about the book earlier in the month, Schwarzenegger was asked about key advice he’s received from costars throughout the years.
He said he learned considerably about the craft of acting working alongside Oscar winners Sally Field and Jeff Bridges in the 1976 film Stay Hungry.
Arnold said that it ‘was absolute heaven to me to watch them perform, how smooth they were and how much I had to grow’ as an actor.
He added the key was ‘to be natural’ and ‘not to act,’ adding, ‘It’s what made Sally Field start falling into tears and crying and throwing fits. It was really her.’
Schwarzenegger said that he idolized another Oscar winner in Clint Eastwood ‘because he was kind of Mr. Cool.
‘His approach of not being noisy, that he was able to listen, I always loved that,’ he said. ‘Because I always thought that there’s something to be said about listening.’
The book description cited the actor’s ‘stratospheric success’ in the fields of bodybuilding, Hollywood and politics, saying that ‘this did not happen by accident’ but rather ‘happened as part of a process.
‘As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful.
‘As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father’s adage close to his heart.’
