Career
Summarize
Perspective
In 2010, Schwarzenegger wrote a book entitled Rock What You've Got: Secrets to Loving Your Inner and Outer Beauty from Someone Who's Been There and Back.[12] In it, Schwarzenegger describes her personal journey and encourages other young women to achieve confidence and a positive self-image.[13] She had body image issues between fourth and seventh grade, but now controls her physical and mental health with walking exercises and yoga.[14]
After graduating from college in 2012, Schwarzenegger sought career advice from a variety of people, including athletes, singers, entrepreneurs, and actors.[10] She compiled their wisdom into her second book— I Just Graduated . . . Now What?—which was released in 2014 as a "survival guide" for recent college grads.[11]
In 2017, Schwarzenegger authored a children's book, Maverick and Me. The book tells the story of her rescue and subsequent adoption of her dog, Maverick. Using her own experience as a "foster fail" (when a foster home turns into a "furever" home), the book touts the benefits of pet adoption and rescue.[15] In 2019, she partnered up with Pedigree to host a limited-series podcast discussing the importance of adopting dogs.[16]
The Gift of Forgiveness: Inspiring Stories from Those Who Have Overcome the Unforgivable is Schwarzenegger's latest book, which is a compilation of stories of forgiveness. The book features the stories of 22 people including Elizabeth Smart and Tanya Brown (sister of Nicole Brown-Simpson).[17]
Personal life
Schwarzenegger started dating actor Chris Pratt in 2018. They announced their engagement in January 2019 and married the following June.[18][19] They have two daughters, Lyla Maria, born in August 2020, and Eloise Christina, born in May 2022[20][21] and a son, Ford Fitzgerald, born in November 2024.[22]
Schwarzenegger is an American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ambassador[15] and supports the Best Friends Animal Society.[23][24] She and her husband, Chris Pratt, are also Global Ambassadors for Special Olympics.[25]
