Over the next decade, both their relationship and their careers continued to flower.

“I think the best part about having her by my side is that she’s always rooting for me and wanting the best for me and bringing out the best in me!” Patrick told E! News in 2019. “I always say that in a relationship, you have to be each other’s biggest cheerleader. Build each other up. And she does that for me.”

They decided to take the next step in building a life together when Patrick proposed during a sunrise walk on the beach in 2023 and made the event a family affair.

“I had my whole family—my dad, my mom—her family was all hiding in this lifeguard station down at the beach,” The Staircase actor shared on a March episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. “Chris, my brother-in-law, set up an umbrella on the beach, and he set up all these roses and all these flowers. And then right when we walked down, he jumped up with the umbrella and ran away and there was this beautiful flower arrangement, and that’s where I proposed.”

Right after Abby said yes, Patrick accepted producers’ proposal for him to play Saxon Ratliff on The White Lotus.

“We got engaged and that same week is when I booked White Lotus,” he added. “So I was like, ‘I’m so sorry, but I’m moving to Thailand for the next seven months and we’re going to have to push the wedding to next year.'”

However, Abby was thrilled her costar in life landed the part. “So incredibly proud of you and all your hard work @patrickschwarzenegger,” she wrote in a February Instagram post, “love watching you accomplish your dreams.”

When it came to planning the wedding, Patrick was happy to take on more of a supportive role.

“As I’ve learned, the role is just to make sure that she’s happy, just whatever she wants to do,” he told GQ last September. “I’m happy to give my opinion on things, and otherwise I’m just there to support her and make it so that she has the best day that she wants. That’s really my job.”

And while fans will have to wait and see what the next season of The White Lotus will have in store, it sounds like Patrick and Abby are overjoyed about their next season of life as newlyweds.

“My ride or die,” he wrote in a February Instagram post for her birthday. “Crazy to think we fell in love 10 years ago!! So proud of the human you are. You continue to inspire me. I love watching your dedication to your family, friends, faith and your work. It’s been a blessing to be on this journey with you & I can’t wait to watch where life takes us.”
