Chris Pratt is also a dad to son Jack, whom he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris. Pratt and Faris were married from 2009 to 2018 and welcomed Jack in August 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The news of Schwarzenegger&#8217;s pregnancy surfaced in June, but the couple chose not to confirm it publicly at that time. A month later, Pratt shared an Instagram photo showcasing Schwarzenegger&#8217;s baby bump.<\/p>\n<p>Greatest party planner in history! Pratt captioned a picture of Schwarzenegger beaming in pink gingham overalls and a white T-shirt, surrounded by balloons, a bounce house, and other party essentials.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarzenegger also posted photos from the celebration, posing with a white rabbit and proudly showing her growing belly. &#8220;It isn\u2019t a party without a bunny appearance ?,&#8221; she wrote. Before this, she had kept her pregnancy under wraps with loose clothing and strategic camera angles.<\/p>\n<p>After welcoming her second daughter with Pratt, Schwarzenegger revealed to <em>Us Weekly<\/em> that the couple was open to having more children. &#8220;I come from a big family, so I love the idea of having a lot of kids around and a big family,&#8221; she said in October 2022. &#8220;Whatever God has in His plan for us is what we&#8217;ll do.&#8221; She also expressed gratitude for her mother, Maria Shriver, for her guidance in motherhood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s all a balancing act,&#8221; she noted. &#8220;I feel really lucky to have an amazing role model in my mom, and just being able to see how she balances it all. Learning from her, bouncing ideas off her, and knowing that family time is the most important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In April 2020, Schwarzenegger shared with <em>Us<\/em> and other reporters how she and Pratt nurture a strong relationship, emphasizing that she values communication. &#8220;I got married last June, and just communication constantly is, like, really the most amazing gift you can have, I think, in a partnership and in a relationship, she mentioned. I don\u2019t like to go to bed angry.
