As Patrick also explained on Today, he moved back home with his mom, Maria Shriver, during the worst of the pandemic in Spring 2020. “Honestly, it was amazing because I don’t know the next time that I’ll be able to ever, you know, move back home with my mom and spend that much time with her.” During the first three months of COVID, the mother-son duo spent a lot of time bonding. According to “The Staircase” actor (in an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”), his girlfriend, Abby Champion, also moved into their Los Angeles home. The trio went on bike rides together, spent plenty of time in the kitchen, and generally enjoyed one another’s company.
As for some of the lessons he learned from Maria Shriver growing up? According to Patrick, manners were hugely important to his mom. “If I didn’t open the door and let her walk through first she would just stay outside and wait,” he told Today hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager. He’s kept those lessons with him well into adulthood. Meanwhile, Patrick learned a lot about physical wellness from his bodybuilder father, going so far as to submerge himself in an ice bath every morning. Personally, we’ll take the door-holding lesson over 40-degree water any day.
