Maria Shriver’s Proud Mama Moment Amidst Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Bold The White Lotus Scenes
Maria Shriver isn’t sweating the risqué scenes from son Patrick Schwarzenegger’s latest role in HBO’s The White Lotus. While many viewers are abuzz about Patrick’s full-frontal nudity as Saxon Ratliff, the eldest son in a dysfunctional family, Maria had a refreshingly chill response when the topic came up. At Keep Memory Alive’s The Power of Love Gala, she quipped about her kids’ reactions: “Did you see that?” To which she innocently replied, “No. What?” Shriver, keeping her mom goggles firmly on, stated she only focused on her son’s face, saying, “A mother’s eyes are always in the kids’ eyes.” Classic mother move, right?
Expressing immense pride for Patrick, who has been hustling for a decade in Hollywood, Shriver said she was thrilled about his role. “It actually makes me cry. I’m so happy for him,” she added, showing that families can still have candid breakthroughs while navigating the wild world of fame and career paths. Patrick, who has starred in other projects like Midnight Sun and Gen V, seems to be on a roll, and clearly, hard work is paying off.
But it’s not all about the glitz and glam for the Schwarzenegger family. Shriver also revealed that her son is grounded, understanding the ups and downs of showbiz. He actively works alongside her on MOSH, an initiative aimed at raising funds and awareness for women’s brain health, particularly concerning Alzheimer’s disease—a cause that’s deeply personal to her. With women disproportionately affected, Shriver’s mission to educate and advocate for brain health couldn’t be more relevant. Hollywood may be flashy, but Shriver’s heart and mission are firmly rooted in pressing societal issues.
So here’s to Patrick! Not just for his artistic pursuits but also for supporting worthy causes, underlining that being a star can go hand in hand with making a difference. And if you’re tuning in to The White Lotus on Sundays at 9 p.m. EST, just remember: behind the scenes, mom is cheering him on!
