Arnold Schwarzenegger passes bodybuilding torch to lookalike son Joseph Baena

Like father, like son — and a bodybuilding legacy in the making.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was spotted stepping back into coach mode as he trained his son, Joseph Baena, ahead of his first bodybuilding competition — signaling the next generation may be ready to carry the torch.

The seven-time Mr. Olympia winner, 78, was seen working closely with Baena, 28, inside the iconic Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach, California, where the bodybuilding legend once built his empire.

But this time, Schwarzenegger wasn’t the one posing under pressure — he was fine-tuning every detail from the sidelines.

In the video obtained by Fox News Digital, the "Terminator" star carefully adjusted Baena’s positioning, ensuring each muscle hit just right.

After a session of pumping iron, Baena went shirtless to show off his increasingly sculpted physique, flexing his biceps as his father corrected his angles and form — even helping him lock in one of Schwarzenegger’s signature poses.

Schwarzenegger, dressed casually in a black T-shirt, shorts and knee-high socks, watched closely as he coached his son.

Onlookers quickly gathered as the pair moved through each pose with precision, drawing a crowd inside the gym famously dubbed "the mecca of bodybuilding."

The "Dancing with the Stars" alum has recently showed off his fit physique and fitness routines in behind-the-scenes training videos on his social media.

Baena has been carving out his own path — from acting roles, including the 2024 action thriller "Gunner," to landing a Men’s Health cover — while navigating inevitable comparisons to his father.

"It's been a huge growth year of me finding out who I am and really being secure… confident… no matter what the challenges are, what the comparisons are," Baena previously told Fox News Digital.

Still, he’s acknowledged the pressure that comes with the name.

"The message that I wanted to get across was, there’s a lot of people out there with very accomplished parents… and it’s scary. It’s scary to get compared to these giants, and to have the feeling like you need to live up to these expectations."

American worker shot, killed in Bahamas as police launch criminal investigation: report

A criminal investigation is underway in the death of an American worker who was allegedly shot and killed in the Bahamas.

The Tallahassee Democrat reported that the victim, identified as 31-year-old Cody Castillo, of Crawfordville, Florida, was killed March 21 in Nassau following a dispute outside Da Plantation Bar & Grill in Nassau. The outlet said the shooting involved an off-duty senior officer of the Royal Bahamas Police Force.

National Security Minister Wayne Munroe said a criminal investigation has been opened.

"My understanding is that the police responded to the scene, acquired CCTV footage, as they always do, and commenced an investigation," Munroe said. "If there's evidence that criminal charges should be levied, they will do it. If, at the conclusion, they determine that they are uncomfortable in levying criminal charges, it goes to a coroner's inquest."

MAJOR CRUISE LINE CANCELS PLANNED SAILINGS, UPENDING VACATIONS: 'DEFINITELY A DISAPPOINTMENT'

A U.S. State Department spokesperson confirmed the death of an American, saying that they are "closely tracing local authorities' investigation into the cause of death."

"The Trump Administration has no higher priority than the safety and security of American citizens," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "Out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones during this difficult time, we have no further comment." 

In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Nassau said that they "are closely following the case of the shooting death of a U.S. citizen by an off-duty police officer last weekend."

"We note with [the] deepest concern media reports that the officer followed the unarmed victim to his vehicle before fatally shooting him," they said. "We urge the Government of The Bahamas to ensure the victim receives justice in this case without delay."

Authorities have not released further official details about the identities of those involved or the circumstances of the shooting. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Royal Bahamas Police Force for additional information.

Major airline tightens window for passengers to seek compensation after baggage delays

Delta Air Lines is making a key change to its baggage guarantee program, shortening the window that travelers have to file a claim if their checked bags are delayed.

The airline confirmed that passengers will now have just two hours after their flight arrives at the gate to request compensation.

Previously, travelers had up to three days to submit a claim.

FLIGHT ATTENDANT'S COSTLY ERROR LEADS TO GROUNDING OF DELTA FLIGHT, LONG PASSENGER DELAYS

Delta told Fox News Digital in a statement that customers whose checked bags do not arrive within 20 minutes of landing on domestic flights are still eligible for compensation.

"SkyMiles Members whose checked bags do not arrive at the carousel within 20 minutes of any domestic flight are eligible to receive 2,500 miles when they file a claim with Delta," the airline said.

"To streamline the process, Delta asks customers to submit those claims utilizing the quick and easy process on delta.com/bag-guarantee no later than two hours after their flight arrives at the gate."

The baggage guarantee applies only to domestic flights.

It offers 2,500 SkyMiles to eligible travelers whose luggage is delayed, Delta said.

The change significantly shortens the timeframe for filing claims — meaning passengers must act quickly after arriving at their destination.

Delta’s program is considered one of the more generous in the airline industry, as not all carriers offer compensation for delayed baggage.

Alaska Airlines offers a similar 20-minute baggage guarantee, though the process works differently.

If checked bags are not delivered within 20 minutes of arrival, customers can receive either a $25 discount code for a future flight or 2,500 bonus points, the airline says.

Unlike Delta, Alaska requires passengers to speak with an agent at the airport to file a claim — plus, requests must be made within two hours of arrival, according to the airline.

The updated policy for Delta underscores the importance of checking baggage claims promptly and submitting requests quickly if luggage is delayed.

The change has also sparked discussion among travelers on social media.

Users said the shorter deadline could make it harder for travelers to take advantage of the policy.

"So to summarize, they are late, so now we have to speed up our time to submit?" one commenter wrote.

Other users questioned whether the move was designed to reduce payouts.

"Pathetic attempt to not pay out claims at the same rate anymore," one person wrote.

Other people had no issues.

They said they routinely file claims while waiting at baggage claim and have not had any problems with the process.

Rubio testifies in trial of ex-Florida congressman allegedly hired by Maduro government to lobby for Venezuela

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is testifying Tuesday in the trial of former Miami congressman and roommate David Rivera, who is accused of trying to lobby members of Congress and the White House on behalf of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. 

Rubio, testifying in a packed federal courtroom in Miami with heightened security, said he and Rivera became "very close" when both overlapped for six years as members of the Florida Legislature in the early 2000s. Rivera, a Republican, was arrested in December 2022 on charges of money laundering and representing a foreign government without registering. 

In July 2017, Rubio said he got a call from Rivera saying he needed to see him urgently to discuss Venezuela. The next morning, Rivera traveled to Washington and, at a meeting at his home, said he was working with Raul Gorrin, a media magnate in Venezuela who was Rivera’s main conduit to the Maduro government, on a plan to persuade Maduro to step aside. 

"I was skeptical," said Rubio during his testimony, according to The Associated Press, adding that the Maduro government was full of "double dealers" who were constantly pitching plans to betray Maduro. 

VENEZUELA’S DELCY RODRIGUEZ REPLACES SANCTIONED LOYALIST DEFENSE MINISTER WITH MILITARY INTEL HEAD 

"But if there was a 1% chance it was real, and I had a role to play alerting the White House, I was open to doing that," he added. 

Within days, borrowing talking points provided by Rivera, Rubio wrote and delivered a speech on the Senate floor signaling the U.S. would not retaliate against Venezuelan government insiders who worked to push Maduro from power, the AP reported. 

"He provided me with insight into some of the key phrases that regime insiders would’ve wanted to hear to know this was serious," Rubio testified. "No vengeance, no retribution." 

In the indictment against Rivera, there’s no indication that Rubio acted improperly as a senator at the time. 

The allegations come in connection to a $50 million consulting contract Rivera signed with Venezuela’s socialist government. 

The indictment alleges Rivera, at the start of the Trump administration, was part of a conspiracy to lobby on behalf of Venezuela to lower tensions with the U.S., resolve a legal dispute with a U.S. oil company and end U.S. sanctions against the South American nation — all without registering as a foreign agent. 

RUBIO SAYS CUBA NEEDS ‘NEW PEOPLE IN CHARGE’ AS BLACKOUTS, UNREST GRIP ISLAND 

As part of his work, Rivera and his co-defendant are accused of trying to arrange meetings for then-Foreign Minister Delcy Rodríguez — now Venezuela’s acting president — in Dallas, New York, Washington and Caracas, Venezuela, with White House officials, members of Congress and the chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil. 

To cloak their activities, prosecutors said, the co-defendants and others set up a chat group called MIA — for Miami — in which they used Spanish-language code words like "Little Cuban" for Rubio, "The Lady in Red" for Rodríguez and "melons" for millions of dollars. 

"This case is about two things: greed and betrayal," prosecutor Roger Cruz said in his opening statement Monday. "The evidence will show that for $50 million these two defendants made a pact to secretly lobby for Nicolás Maduro," as well as for Rodríguez. 

Rivera, 60, counters that his one-man firm, Interamerican Consulting, was hired by an American subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-owned oil company — not the company itself — and therefore did not need to register as a foreign agent. 

His three-month contract, his attorney says, was focused exclusively on luring Exxon back to Venezuela — commercial work that is generally exempt from the Foreign Agents Registration Act. 

Separate and wholly distinct from that consulting work were his efforts with the Venezuelan opposition to pave the way for Maduro’s exit, Rivera's defense said.

Former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson opts for GLP-1 shots instead of new jeans: 'Mama is on a budget'

Kendra Wilkinson is preparing for her GLP-1 journey

"I’m a little bit overweight at the moment, so I’m gonna start taking my weight loss shots," Wilkinson told Us Weekly. "I’m starting that journey next week."

"There’s nothing worse than being in a gym every single day, working out and not seeing any progress," she added. "I hit 40. I’m happy. I’m at peace, but I noticed that my jeans are a little tighter lately, so I don’t want to go out and shop anymore. Mama is on a budget, so I have to fit back in my jeans. So I actually signed up for a shot company that will be delivering my shot next week. So I’ll start my journey next week."

KENDRA WILKINSON TELLS HATERS TO 'LEAVE ME ALONE' AFTER WEIGHT GAIN, ADMITS SHE'S NO LONGER A 'PLAYBOY GIRL'

Wilkinson admitted that she doesn't intend to "go all in" with the shots, but rather, "lose a few pounds safely."

"I just want to slightly, like, ease my way into it," she said. "I just want to be balanced out. I don’t really want to be skinny, but I just want to be balanced and fit in my jeans again."

Last year, Wilkinson addressed body-shamers who had been poking fun at her physical appearance. 

"Yes, I’ve gained weight. Yes, im aging. Yes, I’m not that girl i was before (playboy girl)," she wrote on Instagram, adding a laughing face emoji. "But for once in a long time I feel good and mentally healthy. Kids are my everything. Feeling pretty balanced. Working out and cooking a lot more. Golf, work. No housekeeper or nanny."

Wilkinson explained that she's "finally" at peace in her life and would appreciate it if fans online would stop criticizing her appearance.

"For those of you hating on my new weight, 40 yr old face please know that I’m happy, healthy and at peace in life finally. Leave me alone and respect that I’m where I actually want to be finally all together," she wrote. 

"Almost 40 is feeling amazing and yes to the people criticizing my alcohol intake… I hear you and that will be monitored better. Drinking too much is definitely drinking too much but you know what’s coming up in JUNE…. Shots."

These days, the mother of two is focusing on her real estate career.

"The only thing I can say I regret in my life is not starting my real estate career while I was living at the Playboy Mansion," the "Girls Next Door" alum told Fox News Digital on the red carpet at the Operation Smile 25th Los Angeles Smile Fiesta last year. 

"What was I thinking?" she added. "Like, I mean, I was surrounded by everyone, every celebrity, every billionaire, and what was I thinking? But I'm now in real estate, so I'm good."

Wilkinson launched her career in real estate after passing the California real estate exam in June 2020. A month later, Wilkinson was hired as a real estate agent at The Agency, the luxury real estate company founded by Mauricio Umansky.

Wilkinson later left The Agency to join the high-end real estate firm Douglas Elliman. In November 2021, Wilkinson debuted her reality series, "Kendra Sells Hollywood," which followed the former model as she navigated the ups and downs of her new career in Los Angeles' ultracompetitive luxury real estate market. "Kendra Sells Hollywood" ran for two seasons on Discovery+ and Max.

Scottie Scheffler withdraws from PGA event just 2 weeks before Masters to welcome second child: reports

Scottie Scheffler has proven he's human over the last couple of weeks, which led to initial concern when he withdrew from this week's Houston Open.

The PGA Tour announced Wednesday that Matt Kuchar would replace Scheffler, whose withdraw came rather abruptly, considering this weekend is one of the final tuneups ahead of the Masters.

However, there is good reason for the move, as Scheffler and his wife, Meredith, are reportedly set to welcome their second child.

Perhaps the stress of welcoming another child had been weighing on Scheffler. He finished T-22 at The Players earlier this month after finishing T-24 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He began the 2026 season with a victory at The American Express and followed up with typical results of T-3 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and T-4 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He then finished T-12 at the Genesis Invitational.

TIGER WOODS STEPPING BACK INTO COMPETITIVE GOLF AS MASTERS LOOM

For context, before this recent slump, Scheffler finished inside the top 10 in each of his previous 19 tournaments, and the last time he finished outside the top 20 in back-to-back events was in July and August 2023.

Scheffler has had success in Houston, finishing T2 in three of the last four Children's Opens.

Scheffler won the Masters for the first time in 2022, officially putting himself on the map. Two years later, he took the green jacket back from Jon Rahm, proving himself as the game's best after being named the PGA Tour Player of the Year in each of the two years prior.

Scheffler's last chance for a Masters warm-up will be next week at the Valero Texas Open, but it remains to be seen what happens next weekend, and afterward. The couple became parents in May 2024, just weeks after Scheffler's second win at Augusta.

Reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy had to withdraw from the Arnold Palmer Invitational due to back spasms but returned for The Players the following week.

Obama intel chief angered president at meeting by asking if he'd tolerate Iran having nuclear weapon

Former Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair once angered then-President Barack Obama during a White House meeting on Iran, after he pressed Obama on whether he could tolerate the nation obtaining a nuclear weapon, according to newly released oral history interviews.

"When it came my turn to speak at this meeting," Blair said, "I said, ‘Mr. President, you really just have one decision to make… Are you going to tolerate Iran having a nuclear weapon or not?’" He added that rejecting a nuclear Iran would require espionage and military options, while acceptance would mean a strategy to contain and deter Iran.

The exchange, documented in interviews conducted by the University of Virginia's Miller Center and reported by The New York Times, offers a window into internal divisions within the Obama administration as officials debated how to respond to Iran's nuclear program.

Blair said the moment prompted a sharp warning from Obama.

"The president took me aside after that meeting and said, ‘Denny, don’t ever put me on the spot like that again,’" he recalled. "I said… ‘Yes, sir, Mr. President. I certainly won’t.’" He added, "I was kept out of meetings from that time forward."

OBAMA OFFICIAL WHO BACKED IRAN DEAL SPARKS ONLINE OUTRAGE WITH REACTION TO TRUMP'S STRIKE: 'SIT THIS ONE OUT'

Blair described the meeting as one that had been presented as an opportunity to provide input on Iran policy, and he made the "mistake" of thinking Obama was honestly looking for "fresh insights."

Blair served as Obama's DNI from the start of his presidency in 2009 until he resigned at Obama's request in May 2010.

Obama would go on to negotiate the Iran nuclear deal during his second term, which his administration hailed as a landmark diplomatic achievement that limited the country's nuclear ambitions while avoiding bloodshed. Its critics savaged the deal as mere appeasement that granted unearned sanctions relief to the world's largest state sponsor of terror. 

President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the agreement in 2018.

The released oral histories also include accounts of internal political discussions within the Obama White House, including deliberations over Vice President Joe Biden’s potential 2016 presidential bid.

David Plouffe, a top political strategist, urged Biden not to enter the race, telling him, "There's no room. There's just no room for you."

Plouffe added, "I’m concerned about you as a human being. I’m not sure you’re in a state to run."

Biden, who mourned the death of his son Beau in 2015, announced later that year that he would not enter the Democratic race, which came down to a heated battle between Hillary Clinton, Obama's preferred candidate, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Clinton would go on to win the nomination and lose the general election to Trump.

Obama's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
