“At 78, Arnold Schwarzenegger Enjoys a Peaceful Life in Los Angeles with His Partner and Their Six Beloved Pets – in 10+ Photos”
At 78, Arnold Schwarzenegger lives a life that contrasts sharply with the high-octane image that once defined him. The world-renowned bodybuilder, movie star, and former California governor now finds peace in a quiet corner of Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades, where he shares a Mediterranean-style estate with his longtime partner, Heather Milligan, and a beloved group of animal companions.
His 2.5-acre property, surrounded by ocean and canyon views, reflects the calm he has embraced in later life. Once filled with the noise and chaos of raising a large family, the home has become a tranquil haven centered on simple pleasures — good food, family visits, and the joy of caring for animals.
Schwarzenegger’s household is famously lively thanks to his unique pets: Whiskey the miniature horse, Lulu the donkey, a pig with a fondness for soup, and several dogs. Each one roams freely indoors and out, often joining him for breakfast or lounging beside him during quiet afternoons. Arnold takes pride in preparing special treats — from oatmeal cookies for his horses to homemade meals for his dogs — a far cry from his Hollywood days of grueling film schedules and global fame.
