Posting a snap of the pair, Arnie beamed: “Congratulations Joseph! ‘Four years of hard work studying business at Pepperdine and today is your big day!

“You have earned all of the celebration and I’m so proud of you. I love you!”

Joseph is the son he had with Mildred ‘Patty’ Baena, his former housekeeper, an affair which spelled the end of the actor’s 25-year marriage to Maria Shriver, a member of the Kennedy dynasty.

He was born just a few days after Shriver had given birth to her and Schwarzenegger’s fourth child, Christopher.

“I’m am so incredibly grateful to have the privilege to study at and graduate from such a beautiful and high caliber school.
