ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER PATRICK'S MILEY ROMANCE WAS NO WRECKING BALL ... All Love with Our Fam!!!

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s one proud papa -- not only is he hyping son Patrick’s full-frontal TV moments, but he’s also giving a nod to his past romantic choices ... even that blink-and-you-missed-it fling with Miley Cyrus.

The actor hit 'Watch What Happens Live' Monday night with Andy Cohen, and got grilled on the highs and lows of Patrick dating Miley from 2014 to 2015, and honestly ... he had nothing but kind words.

Arnie called Miley a wonderful, talented girl and even reminisced about the time she tagged along on a family ski trip and totally charmed everyone as the ultimate guest.

As for the worst part? Arnold made it clear there wasn't one -- and everything unfolded the way it was meant to ... especially now that Patrick’s happily engaged to model Abby Champion, with wedding bells set for later year after being postponed due to him filming "White Lotus."

As for Miley -- she had her marriage moment with Liam Hemsworth, but these days she’s happily boo’d up with musician Maxx Morando.

Sounds like Arnold's advice to Maxx would be ... don't fumble the Miley bag!

CARL WEATHERS, LINEBACKER TURNED-TURNED-ACTOR WHO STARRED IN 'ROCKY' MOVIES AND 'THE MANDALORIAN'

 NEW YORK (AP) — Carl Weathers, a former NFL linebacker who became a Hollywood action movie and comedy star, playing nemesis-turned-ally Apollo Creed in the “Rocky” movies, facing off against Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Predator” and teaching golf in “Happy Gilmore,” has died. He was 76.

Matt Luber, his manager, said Weathers died Thursday. His family issued a statement saying he died “peacefully in his sleep."

Comfortable flexing his muscles on the big screen in “Action Jackson” as he was joking around on the small screen in such shows as “Arrested Development,” Weathers was perhaps most closely associated with Creed, who made his first appearance as the cocky, undisputed heavyweight world champion in 1976’s “Rocky,” starring Sylvester Stallone.

“It puts you on the map and makes your career, so to speak. But that’s a one-off, so you’ve got to follow it up with something. Fortunately those movies kept coming, and Apollo Creed became more and more in people’s consciousness and welcome in their lives, and it was just the right guy at the right time,” he told The Daily Beast in 2017.
