The couple’s journey began not long after Pratt’s divorce from Anna Faris in 2017. Schwarzenegger, an author and daughter of actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger and journalist Maria Shriver, quickly won Pratt’s heart, leading to one of Hollywood’s favourite love stories.

Here’s a closer look at their relationship timeline and everything you need to know about the high-profile pair.

It’s been a happy road for Pratt, 45, and Schwarzenegger, 34, ever since.

The pair announced their engagement in 2019 and married six months later in Montecito, California – the same area where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now live.

Pratt, who is open about his Christian faith, said he met Schwarzenegger at church,

‘’It was a lot of kismet, and a lot of connections, but that was where we met,’’ he revealed.

In 2022, Schwarzenegger opened up to Us Weekly about her desire to have a big family.

‘’I come from a big family, so I love the idea of having a lot of kids around,’’ she said. ‘’Whatever God has in his plan for us is what we’ll do.’’

In November, the couple took to Instagram to announce they had welcomed their son, and fans quickly noticed a sweet family tribute in the name.

“We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our son, Ford Fitzgerald Pratt,” Schwarzenegger captioned the post. “Mama and baby are doing well and Ford’s siblings are thrilled by his arrival. We feel so blessed and grateful. Love Katherine and Chris.”

The name is seemingly a nod to former President John F. Kennedy, whose middle name is Fitzgerald. Katherine, who is the daughter of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, is JFK’s great-niece.

Arnie certainly knows what it’s like to live life in the Hollywood spotlight, so he has that in common with Pratt.

‘’He has the experience of raising kids in the spotlight and being an actor, a well-known person and a celebrity,’’ Pratt told Extra in May 2024.

‘’It’s really great to have the wisdom of his experience to go to and talk to about certain things i normally would talk to my brother or cousin or people that I grew up with and they might not be able to relate with certain things.’’

Arnie returned the praise on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast recently, saying he was ‘’really happy’’ his daughter had found Pratt.
