“Guardians of the Galaxy” star Chris Pratt and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger have welcomed their first son together and revealed the name of their baby boy.
The couple said they were “overjoyed” to share the birth of their third child named Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt, who will join their two daughters, Lyla and Eloise.
The “Jurassic World” star and Schwarzenegger tied the knot in 2019. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Lyla, in August 2020, and their second, Eloise, in May 2022.
“I’m so overjoyed that Ford has arrived healthy! I’m so humbled that I get to hold a baby at this time in my life, that I’m here for it,” Shriver, a journalist and former first lady of California, stated in the post.
“God bless, Ford and all the babies on our world. May we all work hard to make sure the world they are brought into is loving, kind, caring, and accepting of who they are,” she added.
Pratt shared a 12-year-old son named Jack with his ex-wife, actress Anna Faris. The two announced their separation in 2017 after nine years of marriage and finalized their divorce in 2018.
“When I became a mother, I felt like everything in my life had led me right to that baby being put on my chest, and it was perfect,” she stated. “Mom is the title I have always wanted and the role that I have looked forward to for as long as I can remember.”
Schwarzenegger said that motherhood has inspired “a new blossoming” of a part of her relationship with her mother.
“She was the first person to meet our daughter and it was a moment I will never forget,” Schwarzenegger said of her mother. “I have always had an immense amount of respect for my mom, but since becoming a mother myself, my respect and admiration for her is out of this world.”
Shriver was married to actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1986 before they divorced in 2021. They shared four children together, and Katherine Schwarzenegger is the eldest daughter.
