Patrick Schwarzenegger is checking into his own version of paradise.
The White Lotus actor and his wife Abby Champion proved they’re still on a romantic high from their Sept. 6 wedding during their recent trip to Abu Dhabi.
In his Oct. 6 Instagram post, Patrick, 32, shared several photos of him and Abby, 28, having a “beautiful time experiencing the desert.”
Indeed, the newlyweds crossed several activities off their bucket list. After visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, they rode a camel together, an experience the Gen V alum gave two thumbs up. Patrick and Abby later admired a few paintings at a museum before having a date night at the NBA’s Abu Dhabi Games 2025, where they watched as the New York Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers.
Fittingly, Abby also gushed over their getaway on her own Instagram. Describing their memories as a “desert dream,” the model posted a sweet photo of them enjoying the sand and go-karting with a few friends.
Patrick and Abby’s trip comes over a month after their three-day wedding last month, and several of their family and close friends—including Robe Lowe, and Patrick’s White Lotus family Jason Isaacs, Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola—were in attendance.
In fact, Robe shared insight into father-of-the-groom Arnold Schwarzenegger’s lighthearted speech from the ceremony.
“’It’s good to see everybody here,’” the Parks and Recreation alum recalled of Arnold's comments on the Sept. 17 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. "'It's a wonderful day. And Patrick is killing it now with The White Lotus.’”
As for Abby—who hard-launched her romance with Patrick in 2016, one year after they met in Los Angeles—she’s not just ecstatic about her husband’s acting career. She’s also excited to step into this next decade with him.
“I still can’t believe it's over—it all flew by like a dream,” she told Vogue of their fairy tale wedding last month. “I’m so excited to start this next chapter with Patrick.”
