Let This Be Your Super Guide to Chris Pratt’s Family

As a big fan of Chris Pratt’s acting career, I’ve always been intrigued by his personal life and how it intertwines with his professional success. His experiences as a father have been particularly inspiring to me.


For Chris Pratt, the center of his galaxy is family.

It seems that Chris and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, who have been married for five years, will soon be welcoming a new addition to their family. In June, several media outlets announced this exciting news, but the couple has not made any official statement yet.

The young child will be with the actor from “Guardians of the Galaxy” and the writer of “The Gift of Forgiveness,” along with their daughters Lyla, aged 3, and Eloise, aged 2, as well as Jack, who is 11, from his previous marriage to Anna Faris. Despite the challenges that come with co-parenting for some former couples, the “Mom” actress has indicated that they have established a good routine.

In 2022, Anna expressed her gratitude to People magazine, saying, “We’re growing closer, and I truly value that connection.” She added, “They shield me with care, and I aim to do the same for them. Their backing means a lot to me.”

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: The trio don’t always share every detail of their personal lives with us, but they generously grant us peeks into their world now and then. For instance, Chris frequently treats us to snapshots of his children and anecdotes from his parenting journey.

In an interview with TopMob News back in May, the Jurassic World actor shared his thoughts on modern-day parenting. “I believe we’ve entered a new era of parenthood,” he said. “Growing up, I blindly followed my parents’ rules without question. I didn’t realize I could say ‘no.’ Now, as a father, my partner and I aim to create an environment where our children feel free to express themselves.”

As an obsessed fan, I cannot help but add my two cents to this situation. You know how mothers can be when it comes to setting boundaries? Well, these folks seem to have internalized that “no” from their moms so effectively that they barely bat an eye when I say it. On the other hand, my “no” seems to bounce off them like a feather in the wind. Frankly, I’m stumped! I wish I had a magic wand to make them understand the importance of my “no,” but for now, we’ll keep pushing forward and figure it out together.

One thing Chris does know for sure? How much love he has for his kids.

I find them irresistibly adorable and amazing. They exude sweetness, politeness, kindness, and joy, making me fall in love with them.

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris got married in 2009. However, after living together for eight years, they made the difficult decision to end their marriage. The actors from “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Mom” respectively, officially divorced in the year following their announcement.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that in this way: Anna, who was previously married to Ben Indra from 2004 to 2008 and starred in “The House Bunny,” surprised fans by announcing their split. Contrary to appearances, her life with Ben wasn’t as perfect as it seemed. In fact, she mentioned that she kept quiet about any issues, not only sharing this information with the public but also with her closest friends and family.

She expressed on her podcast “Unqualified” in 2021 that her connection with Ben was clearer, but with Chris, we both kept up the appearance of things being a certain way, even among our closest friends.

Anna, who is currently married to cinematographer Michael Barrett, shared her perspective that working in the same industry as her former partners wasn’t beneficial for her.

In a more recent episode of her podcast, she admitted, “I was married to two actors before, and I believe we struggled to suppress feelings of competitiveness – at least I did. I’ve always been proud and reluctant to expose vulnerability. Any signs of rivalry and comparison were hard for me to manage, and I hope I’ve learned from that experience.”

In August 2012, I had the privilege of welcoming my precious son, Jack, into the world. He arrived nearly two months earlier than expected. Due to his early arrival, he required special care in the neonatal intensive care unit.

At a 2021 gathering hosted by the Global Alliance to Prevent Prematurity and Stillbirth, the actress reminisced, “There was a day when I brought Jack home for the first time. Those early years were marked by countless doctor visits, five surgeries, and physical therapy sessions. Yet, amidst the challenges, Jack’s irresistible charm and cuteness filled our lives with endless laughter.”

Years later, Jack has grown from an adorable baby to a sweet young man.

Anna expressed her enjoyment of this stage in Jack’s life during the July 2024 episode of Today. She added that Jack had mentioned to her that he believed he had grown armpit hair, signaling the onset of adolescence.

In 2019, Chris got married to Katherine Schwarzenegger. He expressed his feelings on Instagram for her husband’s birthday, saying “I am beyond blessed to laugh with you, love you, go on adventures with you, share kisses and live this enchanted life with you.” He continued, “You bring joy into every moment! I love you so much!”

In her conversation with People magazine in 2022, Anna praised Katherine’s connection with Jack, expressing, “She’s really attuned to him” or “She’s so in sync with Jack”.

About a year and a few months after getting married, the couple had a baby girl named Lyla Maria Pratt in August 2020. The middle name “Maria” was chosen in honor of Katherine’s mother, Maria Shriver.

Chris prefers to keep most aspects of his family affairs hidden from the public. However, he was happy to disclose that Jack was excelling in his role as the eldest brother.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2021, the Jurassic World actor shared, “He gets along marvelously with her. She loves playfully removing his glasses, and he remains calm and understanding towards her. He’s an excellent big brother.”

I couldn’t help but feel devastated when my heartfelt tribute to Katherine for delivering me a beautiful, healthy baby girl was met with harsh criticism that year. Some people on social media took issue with my post, finding it insensitive towards Anna and Jack, who were born prematurely. It wasn’t my intention to offend or minimize their struggles, but rather to express my gratitude for Katherine’s support during a difficult time in our lives.

In 2022, various articles were published with criticism towards Chris Pratt for expressing gratitude for a healthy daughter at her birth, while his first child had been born premature. This struck a chord with me deeply as an avid fan. I couldn’t help but think, “That’s just wrong.” My son, who is 9 years old, might come across this one day and be affected by it. The words are engraved in the digital world forever, leaving a lasting impression that I found truly disturbing. These blessings in my life that bring so much joy to me and those close to me, have unfortunately become a source of burden for some. I was deeply moved by this situation, and even shed tears over it.

In March 2022, Chris and Katherine welcomed their newborn daughter into their lives. They named her Eloise Christina Schwarzenegger Pratt.

The actor from “Zero Dark Thirty” shared with TopMob in June 2022 that he has three children now. He jokingly referred to himself as a modern-day “girl dad,” as his oldest daughter is adapting well to her new role as a big sister. At first, she was curious about the new addition to the family, but now she’s eager to hold and care for her baby sister. These moments of love and connection are what truly matter in life, and the actor expressed deep gratitude and happiness.

From my perspective as a lifestyle expert, I’ve heard some exciting news regarding Chris and Katherine’s family plans. Multiple sources reported in June 2024 that they are expecting their third child together, making it Chris’ fourth overall. However, they have yet to make an official announcement about this joyous addition to their brood.

In regard to forming his support system as a parent, Chris is grateful for Maria Shriver as his mother-in-law. He expressed his admiration for her on the “Today” show in May 2024, stating, “She’s almost like an angel among us. I truly believe that. She’s not only kind and hilarious but also incredibly intelligent. And she takes a genuine interest in the well-being of her kids.”

Together with her ex-husband Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former First Lady of California brought up Katherine and her siblings Christina, Patrick, and Christopher. This isn’t an simple task, as Chris acknowledged. “In Hollywood or in wealthy families, you often see parents raising children who turn out poorly,” she explained. “I’m curious to ask her: ‘How did you manage not to spoil them? How did you prevent them from going astray?'”

“He mentioned that Maria seems to have a strong sense of etiquette and responsibility. In her presence, people tend to sit up straight and pay close attention.”

As a die-hard fan and follower of his illustrious Hollywood journey spanning over eight years as the esteemed Governor of California, I can only imagine how effortless it must feel for him to embrace this new role as a loving grandpa. The physical demands of being a bodybuilder once upon a time might have been challenging, but compared to the responsibilities and pressures of his previous roles, this is a breeze.

Being a grandfather is the most effortless role for the Austrian-born man, who is also father to Joseph Baena with their former housekeeper Mildred Baena. He shared this experience with Jimmy Kimmel in 2022. Grandkids visit, spend an hour or two playing, sometimes involving a horse and a dog, before leaving again.

He’s excitedly pleased whenever they return: “I find it wonderful! I truly enjoy having them at my place.”

It’s nice to have family members involved in the industry, but Patrick is particularly grateful to his brother-in-law for securing him a valuable role.

The actor recalled, “When Chris mentioned there was a young character named Donny Mitchell in ‘The Terminal List’ on Amazon Prime Video, he added, ‘You’ll be the youngest in the platoon.’ To secure this role, he instructed me to immerse myself and prepare thoroughly. This involved putting on 20 extra pounds and undergoing tactical training to master their movements, body language, and more.”

Having the chance to train with real-life Navy SEALs, he added, was “a dream come true.” 

In the coming months, the actor, who will portray football legend Tim Tebow in FX’s “American Sports Story,” has even more exciting experiences ahead. He asked model Abby Champion for her hand in marriage at the end of 2023 after seven years of dating. According to TopMob News’ interview with him in 2019, he shared, “The most wonderful thing about having her with me is that she’s always cheering me on, pushing me to be my best self and bringing out the best versions of myself.”
