Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to be excited about his upcoming stint as the host of "The Apprentice," so much so that the former California Governor wants his son with their former housekeeper, Mildred Baena, to be on the show with him.

It could be recounted that Arnold Schwarzenegger's marriage Maria Shriver ended in 2011 when it was revealed that he fathered a son with their former helper.

Because the former "The Apprentice" host Donald Trump also had his children, Donald Jr. and Ivanka, on the show with him, the "Terminator" actor also reportedly wants to bring in his son in the show.

"Arnold wants Joseph to have a part in it too. He'd like to make up for the years he wasn't there for him in a way..." a source close to the family told Dish Nation.

But are his four children with Maria Shriver - Katherine 25, Christina, 24, Patrick, 22, and Christopher, 18 - raising their eyebrows over their father's decision of featuring 17-year-old Michael Baena on the show?

Maybe not, especially since Arnold Schwarzenegger also reportedly wants them on the show as well. The idea seems to be sitting well with his son Patrick, who was previously linked to Miley Cyrus.

"Patrick is down for it because he loves the publicity. He'd love to be in front of the camera, in whatever capacity he could,"the insider said.

However, not all his children are reportedly on board the idea of being on "The Apprentice."

"The other kids are taking a bit more convincing but have said they'd be interested in a behind-the-scenes opportunity or a guest appearance for a challenge."

So if the rest of the kids agree to give in to their father's idea, the show could be a bonding activity for Arnold Schwarzenegger. But are the producers on board as well?

"The problem is, this is a show about business - not a soap opera! Producers don't want this to become a 'Meet the Schwarzeneggers' and lose sight of what the show is really about," the source said.
