Christopher Schwarzenegger takes a break from college as he enjoys a lunch date with mother Maria Shriver in rare outing

He relocated from Los Angeles to the Midwest when he enrolled at the University of Michigan back in 2016.

And Christopher Schwarzenegger was in great spirits as he enjoyed a lunch date with his mother Maria Shriver for a rare outing in California's Brentwood district on Wednesday afternoon.

The son of screen star Arnold Schwarzenegger, 21, opted for a casual display as he sported a light blue T-shirt, tied in baggy cream jeans for his low-key appearance.

Showcasing his sporty style, the student rounded off his outfit with white trainers and a dark baseball cap. 

Meanwhile, former NBC anchor Maria, 63, looked effortlessly stylish in a dressed-down linen shirt and light grey chinos.

Shielding her eyes from the sun, the journalist accessorised her look with a pair of gradient-tinted shades. 

The pair were also joined by Christopher's sister Katherine, 29, who recently tied the knot with actor Chris Pratt.

Christopher was nursed back to health by his close-knit family after he got into a surfing accident while boogie-boarding off the coast of Malibu when he was 13.

He ended up suffering a collapsed lung, broken bones and broken ribs - injuries which subsequently landed him in intensive care in a Los Angeles-area hospital. 

At the end of August last year, his mother Maria — who hails from the Kennedy political dynasty — was seen accompanying her son on a flight from California to Michigan as he embarked on his new life as a college student.

Maria and Austrian-born Arnold, 72, are also parents to 25-year-old model Patrick and Christina, 28.

The former couple separated in 2011 after 25 years, following the revelation that he had fathered a love child with the family's household staffer Mildred Patricia 'Patty' Baena. Their son, Joseph, is now 21 years old. 

It was reported last month that Maria is still married to former California Governor Arnold — despite filing for divorce in 2011.

The couple did not have a prenup, but according to TMZ, 'there was never any real custody beef, and 'they both quickly agreed on joint custody,' and now none of their children are minors. They had an estimated $400 million at the time of their separation.

But the outlet reports, 'Sources connected to Arnold and Maria say there were bumps along the way in hammering out a settlement but, since the split is 50/50, there are no serious roadblocks.'  

Meanwhile, the Schwarzenegger/Shriver family continues to mourn the loss of 22-year-old Saoirse Kennedy Hill.

Earlier this week, the family touched down in Los Angeles following the funeral their cousin.

Many of the Kennedy cousins were on the East Coast over the weekend to honor Saoirse at a family gathering ahead of her funeral services.  

Saoirse, the granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, died unexpectedly of a suspected overdose last week at the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port. 

Robert F. Kennedy was the brother of Maria's mom Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Saorise was laid to rest at a private funeral mass at Our Lady of Victory Church in Centerville, Massachusetts on Monday.
