Patrick Schwarzenegger Postpones Wedding Plans for The White Lotus

Patrick Schwarzenegger, who plays Saxon Ratliff on HBO’s hit series, announced he has postponed his wedding. The delay in his wedding to fiancée Abby Champion results from filming for season three of *The White Lotus*. This revelation came during his appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on March 25.

Excitedly, Patrick shared that he and Abby have been together for nearly ten years. They announced their engagement via Instagram in December 2023. When Drew Barrymore asked if they would have married already without his TV role, Patrick responded, "Yes." He noted that his casting was just days after he proposed on the beach.

"I got engaged a year and a half ago, and it was such an amazing moment," he said. "Then a few days later, I was cast in "The White Lotus," and I had to tell Abby we had to postpone the wedding."

While some might be disheartened by a wedding delay, Abby was ecstatic about Patrick's career opportunity. Patrick revealed how happy Abby was, stating, "She was so happy. She was a huge fan." He noted how supportive his family, especially his mom, Maria Shriver, and sister Katherine, were when they shared the casting news over lunch. A video of their emotional moment was posted by Patrick.

Securing this role was a career highlight for Patrick, who previously described it as "the greatest day in history." Since the show's debut, his character has drawn attention for various plot points, including unusual family dynamics. With filming now complete, Patrick shifted his focus back to wedding planning, affirming, "We’re getting married this summer."

Patrick reminisced about meeting Abby in 2015. "We met because she was on a date with a friend of mine. I went to that date," he explained, leading to Barrymore's humorous interjection about the situation. "It was a first-time date, everything was fine, and finally, we went on one ourselves."

Finally, he expressed deep affection for Abby. During a February interview with PEOPLE, Patrick shared, "As the years passed, I continually fell more in love with the incredible human she is becoming and with our relationship."
