by

Chris Pratt‘s son is in an electric state of growth. 

Chris Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, shared new photos of their 11-month-old son, Ford, and he’s growing so fast! He looked quite big while enjoying some time with his mom.

On October 25th, Katherine shared a couple of photos on Instagram. In one, Ford, dressed in a New York City onesie, was sitting up in bed, showing off his blond hair. The other photo showed Ford reaching for bubbles while Katherine, wearing jeans and a gray sweater, held him and laughed.

The author also shared another sweet moment showing how much her youngest child was growing. In a photo, little Ford was sitting on Katherine’s lap during an activity with bright sashes, and his head almost reached her shoulder!

Katherine isn’t the only one enjoying family life with their new baby. Chris, who has five children total – Lyla, 5, and Eloise, 3, with Katherine, and Jack, 13, plus children from a previous relationship with Anna Faris – described the wonderful, busy energy at home since baby Ford was born in November 2024.

Chris described the experience as wonderfully busy, saying he’s cherishing every moment he gets at home. He and his family feel very fortunate.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always celebrating milestones, and it’s lovely to see so many happening right now! It’s not just Harrison Ford having a big moment – my daughters, Lyla and Eloise, have been making incredible progress with a hobby they absolutely love, and I’m so proud of them.

Chris said the girls had just started swimming with their goggles, and he was going to teach them how to dive and retrieve objects from the bottom of the pool. It was a pool party with music, grilling, and plenty of sunshine and swimming.

Chris is still adjusting to the fact that his oldest son, Jack, turned a teenager earlier this year.

He expressed his disbelief and pride on Instagram in August, writing, “Jack, I can’t believe you’re already 13!” He added that he’s been amazed watching Jack mature into a wonderful young man and is incredibly proud of the person he’s becoming.

Oh my gosh, can you believe it? Arnold’s kids are all grown up! Katherine, Christina, Patrick, Chris, and even Joseph… they’re not babies anymore! It feels so strange. But honestly, the best part is… he’s a grandpa now! Katherine and Chris Pratt have three little ones – Lyla, Eloise, and Ford – and Arnold just loves being around them. He told Jimmy Kimmel it’s the easiest job ever! Apparently, he just plays with Lyla for a couple of hours, lets her ride the horse, hang out with the dog, and then… they leave! Can you imagine? He gets all the fun without the sleepless nights! It’s just… perfect. I’m obsessed with this new grandpa Arnold!

Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger married in 1986, but their marriage ended in divorce in 2011 after Maria discovered Arnold had a child with another woman.

Chris Pratt, who is married to their daughter Katherine, recently praised how Maria and Arnold successfully co-parented their children despite the challenges and public attention.

In a May 2024 interview with Today, Pratt said, “They raised four amazing kids, which isn’t easy, especially in Hollywood. You often see privileged people raising spoiled children, so I want to learn from Maria. I want to know how she and Arnold kept their kids grounded and raised them well.”

According to Pratt, Maria’s secret seems to be holding her children accountable. He explained that she emphasizes good manners, responsibility, and strong faith, all of which he hopes to incorporate into raising his own children.

Patrick Schwarzenegger, born in 1993, is the eldest son of Arnold and Maria Schwarzenegger. While he acknowledges the advantages of having famous parents, he also credits his brother-in-law, Chris, with helping him land a role in the Amazon Prime Video series The Terminal List. Patrick recalled Chris advising him to gain 20 pounds and undergo tactical training to fully embody the character of Donny Mitchell. He described training with actual Navy SEALs as a lifelong dream come true.

Since then, Patrick has continued to build his acting career, playing Saxon Ratliff on The White Lotus and Tim Tebow in FX’s American Sports Story. He emphasizes that despite his family connections, he’s dedicated to his craft. He told The Sunday Times that he’s spent ten years taking acting classes, participating in school plays, and meticulously developing his characters, all while facing numerous rejections.

In December 2023, Patrick proposed to model Abby Champion, and the two are now engaged.

Katherine Schwarzenegger is the oldest of Arnold and Maria Schwarzenegger’s children, born in 1989. She’s now a mother herself, having married Chris Pratt in 2019 after dating for a year. They have three children together: daughter Lyla, born in 2020, Eloise, born in 2022, and son Ford, born in 2024. Katherine has said becoming a mother felt like the culmination of her life’s journey, and that being a mom is a role she’s always dreamed of. Chris also has a son, Jack, from his previous marriage to Anna Faris, born in 2012.

Chris Pratt prioritizes family above all else. However, he was hurt by the negative reaction he received in 2021 after publicly praising his wife, Katherine, for their healthy daughter on Instagram. Some people online felt the post was insensitive, considering his first child, Jack, was born prematurely.

In a 2022 interview with Men’s Health, Pratt explained that articles criticized him for seemingly comparing his children, calling the post “cringeworthy” and implying a slight against his ex-wife. He found this deeply upsetting, worrying about how his son, who was nine at the time, would one day read those comments. He said the criticism felt like a burden on his blessings and admitted he cried over it.

Jack, the son of Anna and Chris, was born prematurely in August 2012 and needed care in the NICU.

The actress fondly remembers bringing her son, Jack, home, though his early years involved many doctor visits, five surgeries, and physical therapy. Despite the challenges, she says Jack was the most adorable child she could have asked for.

Now a teenager, Jack still comes to his parents for advice, which Anna finds reassuring. In a recent interview, she shared that when Jack seeks her guidance, it confirms she and her partner are doing a good job as parents and building a strong foundation for him. She expressed immense pride in her son.

 

Oh my gosh, Katherine and Chris are just the cutest! It feels like yesterday they got married, and then little Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt arrived in August 2020 – isn’t Maria a beautiful tribute to Katherine’s mom? Chris is usually so private about his family, which I totally respect, but he did share the sweetest thing about Jack being a big brother! He said Jack is amazing with Lyla, and she’s always trying to grab his glasses – can you imagine?! But he’s so patient with her. Seriously, Jack is the best big brother ever! I’m obsessed with this family!

In March 2022, Chris and Katherine Pratt welcomed their daughter, Eloise Christina Schwarzenegger Pratt, into the family.

Actor Jason Bateman, known as a proud ‘girl dad,’ shared in June 2022 that his oldest daughter is doing great with her new role as a big sister. Initially, she was a little unsure about the baby, wanting to know what was going on and wanting to be the center of attention. Now, she’s completely embraced having a little sister, constantly wanting to hold her and being incredibly sweet. Bateman says these moments are what truly matter and bring him immense joy and gratitude.

Katherine and Chris Pratt welcomed their son, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt, on November 8, 2024. A few days later, they shared on Instagram that both mom and baby are healthy and Ford’s siblings are excited to have a new brother. The couple expressed their happiness and gratitude for their growing family.

Christopher Schwarzenegger, the youngest son of Arnold and Maria Schwarzenegger, generally stays out of the spotlight. Born in 1997, he’s currently Vice Chair of the Special Olympics Founder’s Council and the Director of Development at Indus Valley Media. He previously worked at Malka, a creative content agency, and with sports psychologist Trevor Moawad. Christopher is a University of Michigan graduate with a degree in psychology.

His sister, Christina Schwarzenegger, born in 1991, is an executive producer. She’s known for her work on documentaries like Take Your Pills (2018) and its follow-up, Take Your Pills: Xanax (2022).

Joseph Baena is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, born from an affair with his housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena, in 1997. Arnold didn’t discover he was Joseph’s father until years later. In his 2023 documentary, Arnold, he explained that he initially didn’t suspect paternity, but as Joseph grew older, it became increasingly obvious. Arnold admitted the affair was a significant mistake, but emphasized his love and pride for Joseph. He wanted to ensure Joseph felt accepted and valued. Like his father, Joseph has pursued acting and is dedicated to fitness. He also works in real estate and recently competed on Dancing With the Stars.

Chris and Anna got married in 2009, but they separated after eight years. Anna, who was previously married to Ben Indra, suggested her relationship with Chris wasn’t as perfect as it appeared to others.

On her podcast, Unqualified, she explained that she and Chris both tried to maintain a certain image, even with close friends and family, while she felt more open in her relationship with Ben.

Now married to cinematographer Michael Barrett and stepmother to his two children, Anna also hinted that being with partners in the same acting profession didn’t help. She admitted on her podcast that she and her ex-husbands didn’t handle competition well, and she personally struggled with pride and vulnerability, leading to comparisons and competitiveness. She hopes she’s learned from those experiences.
