Actor Chris Pratt has been married to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger, for over four years now. The actor shocked the world when he started dating Schwarzenegger just a few months after ending his 8-year-long marriage with Anna Faris.
Many people claimed that there was no spark between them and the two rushed their relationship, however, the two have proved so far that they are perfect for each other. In a past interview, Pratt highlighted that Schwarzenegger played a massive role in his recovery from depression, also recalling the time they met in a church, something that got Pratt in trouble.
Chris Pratt says Katherine Schwarzenegger fixed him
It’s been more than four years since Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger got married, and it seems like the two are going strong. In a past interview, Pratt explained that Schwarzenegger is the “woman of his dreams,”
“God has a fast-forward button, you know. When it’s right – boom – you’re hit. You fall in love, you get married. There was a moment in my life that I was really struggling and felt really broken. For me, [it was] my own journey finding a higher power and leaning on that and feeling like, ‘Please save me,’ and feeling saved, and then shortly later, [I met] the woman of my dreams.”
Chris Pratt and Anna Faris announced their decision to separate after eight years of marriage in a post on their social media in August 2017, their divorce was finalized in October 2018. Around this time, Pratt already started dating Katherine Schwarzenegger.
Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger met in a church
Further in the interview, Pratt explained that there is a perfect plan for everyone out there and talked about his first meeting with Schwarzenegger,
“It’s all about timing. There’s a perfect plan out there for you and I think you have to have faith. The minute you have faith, it falls into place. We met at a church, I was in the front row of the church – which is like, you kind of don’t want to be like, ‘Woah, who’s that?’ at church. You know what I mean? But I was sneaking some glances and wondering, ‘Who is that? Anyway, what am I doing! Come on, I’m broken, help me. But who’s that?’ So we kinda hit it off. And we didn’t start dating right away, but we met there and later on, ended up going out.”
Pratt’s association with Zoe Church got him in deep trouble in 2019 after Elliot Page pointed out that the church is well-known for its anti-LGBTQ beliefs.
The couple recently celebrated their fourth anniversary
In June 2023, Pratt and Schwarzenegger went to the place where Pratt proposed to Schwarzenegger to celebrate their four-year wedding anniversary. Pratt wrote in his Instagram post,
“Happy Anniversary!! Mom and dads first night away in three years,” adding, “Back to the spot where we said ‘I do!’ Love you honey!”
One year after their marriage they welcomed their daughter Lyla Maria. Shortly after that, they welcomed their second child, Eloise Christina. Pratt also shares a son, Jack, with his ex-wife Anna Faris.
