ARNOLD Schwarzenegger approves of his model son, Patrick, dating wild pop star Miley Cyrus — despite the concerns of his ex-wife, Maria Shriver — and the former Governator even partied with the young pair on New Year’s Eve, along with Schwarzenegger’s new flame Heather Milligan.
The foursome was seen ringing in 2015 on a triple date with newly engaged Sofía Vergara and her hunky True Blood star fiancé Joe Manganiello, New York Post reports. Making the scene even more surreal, the group met up privately with Britney Spears before catching her Las Vegas show, “Piece of Me,” and partying into the wee hours.

New York Post previously reported that Patrick’s mom, Shriver, has been concerned about her son’s relationship with bad girl Cyrus — who smoked pot onstage at Art Basel Miami and had to be carried out of a club after a night of partying during the art fair.
But others in the Shriver clan, like uncle Anthony Shriver, have endorsed the romance.
Nevertheless, “Miley spent the whole holiday season with Patrick, Arnold and Heather Milligan,” a source told the paper. “They spent Christmas and then New Year’s together. Arnold approves of his son’s new relationship, and he was the one who suggested they all spend New Year’s Eve together in Las Vegas.”

Schwarzenegger’s group began the night at high-end steak joint The Strip House, where a spy told us Cyrus “chose vegetarian” dishes while wearing “heels that lit up.”
In a curve-hugging red gown, Vergara was “flashing her giant diamond ring” around, witnesses said. But the Colombian beauty then slyly hid her ring finger during any photos.
Later at Spears’ show at Planet Hollywood the couples had a “private meet-and-greet,” then sat front-row. Cyrus and Patrick were joined by friends, one of whom Spears playfully pulled onto the stage to dance.
Cyrus and Patrick kept the party going by playing blackjack in the Planet Hollywood casino until after 4am.
