In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the author, 68, congratulated her son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, 30, on his recent casting in HBO's highly anticipated third season of The White Lotus.

"Patrick, Patrick, Patrick! I'm so proud of you! First you get engaged, then you become the face of @emporioarmani, and now you get cast in one of my favorite shows of all time, White Lotus! Wow!!!" Shriver wrote. "All that hard work and determination is really paying off."

"I hope you get everyone to eat @moshlife, to read @thesundaypaper, and to donate to @womensalzmovement! I can't wait to visit you on set ( am I allowed to visit you on set?) and can't wait to get all the spoilers from you (you will tell me, right? I am your mother after all!) Wow, wow, wow! See you at the White Lotus! 🪷 #proudmomalert" Shriver shared.

In December, ET spoke with Rothwell about the upcoming third season and she said she could not reveal too much but is excited to show the fans what show creator, Mike White, has cooking. 

"I can't say anything. I literally can't," Rothwell said. "I will say I've read all of the scripts and people are in for a treat. It's bigger than ever. Buckle up."
