When his oldest granddaughter, Lyla Maria, visited, he would play with her for about an hour or two. He placed her on the horse, they played with the dog, and after two hours of visitation, the child and her parents would leave!
The actor said he has a great time when they visit him, and while he thinks Chris is a great guy, he is super proud of his daughter. Moreover, he relishes the time he gets to spend with his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter when they come over because:
“When they come over the whole house lights up.”
In 2021, the “Twins” star said Lyla had visited him at his Los Angeles home several times. The little girl got to sit on Whiskey and Lulu, and he anticipated she would be a great horseback rider.
He said he’d never changed his granddaughter’s diaper because his daughter was the expert. Arnold shared how Katherine freaked out whenever Lyla was touched because she believed he was holding the baby wrong, and he’d argue that he’d done it before and thought the whole bickering was fun!
