“She’s just a friend,” he defends himself on social media

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s handsome 21-year-old son with ex-wife Maria Shriver, Patrick Schwarzenegger, has been dating pop star Miley Cyrus since last fall, going public with the romance in November 2014.

It could be that he just got caught cheating: Patrick is now on spring break and partied in Cabo over the weekend, getting very close to a mystery brunette and even doing body shots off her.

Patrick got caught cheating on Miley, the blogosphere roars

You can see the allegedly compromising photos at the link in the tweet below. Us Weekly isn’t the only publication or outlet to assume that they are proof that he got a bit carried away and may have cheated on Miley with the gorgeous brunette pictured so close to him.

Several photos in the series show him doing body shots off her, while others show them embracing or walking on the beach arm in arm.

It’s true, there is nothing truly compromising in the pictures (they’re not kissing or being inappropriately touchy with each other), but celebrity bloggers and various e-zines believe their body language speaks volumes, as also does the fact that he was doing body shots off her.

The rager took place at the Mango Deck Restaurant & Bar, and Patrick, who is a student at the University of Southern California, was probably accompanied by friends. The identity of the mystery girl has not been disclosed to the press.

“Just a friend,” get your mind out of the gutter

Shortly after these “compromising” photos made their way online, Patrick was on Twitter trying to tell everyone who thought the worst of him for cheating on his girlfriend to get their mind out of the gutter because she was just a friend.

In fact, she’s not even his friend: she is the girlfriend of a good pal, so he’d never do anything with her. Plus, he would never cheat on Miley, he assures us.

The report of cheating comes just days after the rumor that Patrick and Miley had already started talking about marriage, which started after they had dinner with his mother, Maria Shriver. Miley has been wearing a lot of revealing outfits these past couple of years, but for once, she covered up, opting for quite a “conservative” type of black dress.
