With his iconic Peter Quill/Star-Lord portrayal in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Pratt has won over fans all over the world. Despite his work in the MCU, he is also well known for playing Owen Grady in the Jurassic World trilogy. The actor has, however, faced a great deal of criticism regarding his personal life over the past few years.
When it came to impress his father-in-law, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor had a difficult road to travel; he needed to do much more. Given that the retired bodybuilder has already experienced success and fame, he needed convincing evidence to give Pratt his daughter’s hand. However, our Star-Lord handled the situation well, which ultimately resulted in him winning his father-in-law’s approval.
Did you know that his troubles actually began after he and Anna Faris declared their divorce in December 2017? And it got even worse when he married Katherine Schwarzenegger, The Terminator actor’s daughter, just a few months after Pratt’s divorce was finally finalized in June 2019.
Has Chris Pratt Found A Way To His Father-In-Law’s Heart?
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris Pratt’s father-in-law, is ineligible to run for president because he was born in Austria. However, the action star admitted to Chris Wallace in an interview that he would do it if he could.
In a Who is Talking to Chris Wallace? episode (released in June), Wallace posed a question to Schwarzenegger. The 75-year-old former Governor of California responded:
“Well, yes, of course. I mean, I think the field was wide open in 2016. And I think the field is open right now. I mean, think about it right now. I mean, who is there? There is really not a person that can bring everyone together.”
If he can’t, his son-in-law most likely could fulfill Schwarzenegger’s wish. At least, that is what his recent action might have led fans to speculate.
Chris Pratt’s wedding to Katherine Schwarzenegger, in the eyes of many fans, was rushed. At one point, even the 33-year-old author’s mother, Maria Shriver had to give her advice on how to deal with the animosity toward Pratt.
Moreover, the Guardians of the Galaxy star is reportedly selling the mansion he shares with his wife in Pacific Palisades, according to recent reports. People started to speculate that it might be related to their marital issues.
The sudden sale sparked immediate feedback from fans. Some people worry that the couple might be splitting, while others are more interested in where they are moving.
One Reddit user commented:
“Somewhere he can start to scope out some sort of political run.”
Another user suggested was:
“Washington’s Governor announced he’s not running again. The race is wide open and Pratt has always struck me as someone angling for politics in the future. If he’s moving anywhere for political reasons, I’d bet money that he’s moving back home to Washington to set himself up as its Conservative prodigal son and run for office.”
What Did Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Daughter Say About Backlash To Her Husband?
Chris Pratt credited his quick romance to the Predator actor’s daughter a fortunate turn of events not long after he and Katherine Schwarzenegger got married. In July 2019, The Lego Movie actor explained to Extra:
“We met at church. It was a lot of kismet, and a lot of connections, but that was where we met.”
Even Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s daughter defended her husband in response to the criticism he received. The American author told The New York Times in February 2023 that she was aware that her husband had faced a great deal of hatred because of their marriage:
“I see what people say. But I just know that it’s so far from the reality.”
When asked if her charming husband would ever run for office, she replied:
“I mean, I think I would probably have to tackle that when and if that ever happened. I’ve just learned so much from my experience having my dad and my mom be in that, that I would really want to talk about that.”
This year marks the adorable couple’s fourth anniversary of marriage. Their first child together, Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt, was born back in 2020. They welcomed Eloise Christina Schwarzenegger Pratt, their second daughter, in May 2022.
