Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are expecting their first child together, a rep confirmed to People. This will be the author’s first child, while Pratt shares 7-year-old son Jack with ex-wife Anna Faris.
The couple wed in a secret ceremony in California in June 2019, and since then have been posting videos on social media of their activities at home while in quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic. Outside of baby news and domestic bliss via Instagram, last month Schwarzenegger released her book The Gift of Forgiveness, and Pratt is set to star in Jurassic World 3 which will be out in 2021.
Speaking with Extra in January, Katherine’s father Arnold Schwarzenegger said that while he was excited for his newlywed daughter and her husband to have children, the decision on a timeline was in their hands.
“I don’t push it because I know it’s going to happen eventually. It’s up to Chris and her when they want to do that,” said the actor. “I’m looking forward it to, yes.”
Meanwhile, in February Pratt opened up about why he knew his wife would make a wonderful mother.
“She’s, God willing, going to be a great mum one day. She’s got great parents, great siblings, she fills in all my many deficits,” he said during an appearance on E!’s In the Room. “She has changed my life for the better in so many ways,” Pratt added. “My heart, my soul, my son I feel are all so safe with her. She’s a great stepmom.”
Congratulations to the couple!
