Christopher Schwarzenegger showed off his dramatic weight loss during a lakeside, family trip over the weekend.
He debuted his slimmer physique as well as what appeared to be his new girlfriend in Instagram photos shared by his sister Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt on Sunday.
The siblings were joined by their mom Maria Shriver and Marvel star Chris Pratt, Katherine’s husband of six years.
Pratt and Katherine’s kids also appeared to be present as in one photo the couple’s eldest child, their five-year-old daughter Lyla, was seen enjoying a swim in the lake.
In one of the photos shared by Katherine, 35, her younger brother Christopher, 27, was seen cozying up to a blonde beauty and wrapping his arm around her as she sat in his lap.
Last month, Christopher made another rare appearance in his sister’s social media posts and looked unrecognizable as he showed off his transformation.

The swimsuit-clad nepo baby showed off his trimmer physique with strong arms during their getaway, which Katherine simply called their ‘lake days’ in her caption.
The University of Michigan alum recently opened up about the low-key fitness journey he first embarked on back in 2020.
Earlier this year, Christopher opened up about what kickstarted his transformation, admitting that cutting out one specific food helped him shed 30 pounds in less than two months.
Christopher said the process of getting into shape has taken him more than five years, adding he ‘tried everything’ before finding out what worked, as he spoke at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles in June.
He revealed to Kelly Osbourne and the event’s host, Jeff Beacher, that while he was on a trip to Australia in 2019, he realized he couldn’t go skydiving due to his weight, as per People.
‘I made it a big [deal] like, “Oh, I’m going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,” and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities,’ he said.
‘I was like, “I want to go skydiving.” And my friends were like, “Yeah, no shot.” I was like, “Yeah, I can’t skydive.”‘
Christopher traced his weight struggles back to high school, recalling bringing special healthy lunches to school.

‘I tried everything. I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school.’
He admitted weight loss is ‘not an overnight thing’ and that it ‘took a lot of trial and error.’
‘And even still to this day … when you’re saying, oh, before and after photos … I don’t feel like I’m an after yet. I don’t feel like I’m at the point.’
Christopher also credited giving up bread for Lent with helping him lose 30 pounds.
‘Weirdly enough, I gave up bread for Lent. I don’t know if anyone’s Catholic in here, but I gave up bread for Lent,’ he said.
‘I was like, “Well, if I’m giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity and I’m a good Catholic boy, so I’m not going to break it,”‘ he stated. ‘And that was my one rule. I was like, “I’m not going to break Lent.” And so I lost 30 pounds just through that.’
Although Christopher has mostly kept quiet about his fitness journey, a now-deleted 2021 Instagram post showed his brother Patrick, 31, praising his workout dedication.
In the post, The White Lotus star wrote, ‘Proud of you. New job. Crushing in the gym. Whole new person. Can’t wait to see what this year brings.’

His father Arnold also praised him.
‘Between your boxing classes, your weightlifting classes, your stretching classes, your cycling classes, and on and on, I can’t even keep up with you!’ the famous bodybuilder raved on Instagram around the same time.
Back in 2020, a source told HollywoodLife that Christopher had made it a personal mission to ‘get healthy for graduation’ from the University of Michigan, a goal he ‘stuck to.’
‘He started working out and making better food choices. He was away at school living like a typical college kid for a few years, but he’s growing up now and ready to take better care of himself,’ the insider shared.
Instead of chasing quick fixes or trendy crash diets, Christopher reportedly cut back on junk food and committed to a consistent workout routine.
It was all reportedly part of an effort to mirror his father’s famously disciplined approach to fitness.
