Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger Celebrate the Arrival of Their Baby Boy
Chris Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, have joyfully announced the birth of their first son, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt. The couple, already parents to two daughters, Lyla and Eloise, shared the news on Instagram, expressing their happiness and gratitude for the safe arrival of their third child. They wrote that both mother and baby were healthy and that Ford’s siblings were excited to welcome him.
The couple has been married since 2019 and welcomed their first daughter, Lyla, in August 2020, followed by Eloise in May 2022. Their growing family reflects the strong bond Pratt and Schwarzenegger share, as they navigate parenthood together while balancing their public and private lives. The family has openly expressed the joy and blessings that each new addition has brought them.
Maria Shriver, Katherine Schwarzenegger’s mother and a well-known journalist, celebrated the birth of her grandson Ford on social media. She expressed her overwhelming joy and gratitude for having a healthy grandson and cherished the opportunity to embrace a new generation in her family. Shriver shared heartfelt wishes for Ford and all babies, hoping for a loving and accepting world for them.
Pratt has a 12-year-old son named Jack with his ex-wife, actress Anna Faris, with whom he separated in 2017 after nine years of marriage. Pratt and Faris have maintained a co-parenting relationship since finalizing their divorce in 2018. Jack is now a proud older brother to Ford, as well as Lyla and Eloise, giving Pratt a beautiful blended family across his previous and current marriages.
Katherine Schwarzenegger, who is also a published author, has often spoken about the importance of motherhood in her life. In a previous article on her mother’s website, she expressed how naturally motherhood has come to her and how deeply fulfilling the role feels. She described motherhood as a culmination of her life’s journey, feeling that each moment led to the perfect experience of holding her firstborn child.
Since becoming a mother, Schwarzenegger has developed an even deeper appreciation for her own mother, Maria Shriver. She recalls how meaningful it was for Shriver to be the first to meet Lyla and treasures the shared memories with her mother, whom she has always respected. Katherine’s journey into motherhood has only strengthened the bond between mother and daughter, as they now share the experience on a deeper level.
Shriver, who married actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1986 and divorced in 2021, raised four children with him, with Katherine being the eldest. This new addition to their family marks another milestone in the Schwarzenegger lineage, as Shriver and Pratt’s family celebrate the arrival of Ford and the joy he brings to their lives.
