Arnold Schwarzenegger attended the graduation of his youngest son, Joseph, who he had with his former mistress and maid Mildred Baena.

The film star looked on as business major - who looks more like Arnie than Arnie looks like Arnie - collected his diploma from Pepperdine University in Los Angeles.

Schwarzenegger and Mildred both posed proudly for pictures with their son during the ceremony this weekend.

Sharing the news to his Twitter account, the former Mr Universe said: "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 also took to social media to shares some snaps from the special day.

Posting to his Instagram account, the young graduate wrote: "Some of the best times of my life are because of this school and the people in these pictures. I'm am so incredibly grateful to have the privilege to study at and graduate from such a beautiful and high calibre school. I now have my degree in business administration and with that, I believe this is only the beginning of a new road. Let's see where it takes us!"

For more than a decade, Schwarzenegger hid the affair he had his housekeeper from his then wife, Maria Shriver. It was only after stepping down as governor of California, in 2011, that Arnie came clean.

The couple eventually split up and in a statement at the time, the Terminator apologised for betraying his wife for so many years.

He said: "After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago.

"I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused."

And during a chat with shock-jock Howard Stern, in 2015, the actor praised Joseph but said it was a difficult position for him.

He said: "He's terrific he totally understands the situation, so it all has worked out. It's a very tough situation for him. It's a very tough situation for my kids. Very tough situation for my family. It was tough for everybody. But it has happened and now we have to figure it out, right?"
