The 34-year-old author and her husband, actor Chris Pratt, are expecting their third child together, a source said. PeopleThe couple, who tied the knot in 2019, welcomed daughters Lyla in August 2020 and Eloise in May 2022. Guardians of the Galaxy star He is also the father of an 11-year-old son, Jack, from his previous marriage to actress Anna Faris.
The Independent has contacted representatives for the couple for comment.
During a recent appearance on the Tonight's show starring Jimmy FallonPratt talked about what it's like being a father to two young daughters. “My daughter likes to play a game with me called 'No!'” Pratt told host Fallon during the episode.
“I’m not very good at the game and she always wins because she says no. And I didn’t know you were allowed to say that to your parents. I grew up not being able to say no to my parents,” he continued.
The actor also brought along a drawing that Lyla made, as Fallon held it up for the audience. He even bragged about how his three-year-old daughter wrote her little sister’s name on the drawing and spelled it correctly. “Eloise… I didn’t know how to spell it until I saw this picture,” Pratt joked. “I was like, ‘Isn’t there a Y?’ It didn’t make sense.”
“Look at this. She spelled it like this and she’s only three and a half,” he said. Parks and Recreation said the student, as the camera zoomed in on the drawing with Eloise's name written on it in marker.
“That’s not bad at all,” Fallon replied.
Meanwhile, in another interview with Electronic NewsPratt admitted that she has noticed a difference in parenting girls compared to boys. “I hate to make generalizations based on gender, but in my experience, girls are more emotional,” Pratt said. “They have me in their hands. It’s amazing.”
Despite noting that all of her children are “affectionate and sweet,” her daughters specifically “don’t like to make noise that much.”
“I hit them with a pillow and they say, ‘Dad, that hurt my feelings,’” she said of playing with her daughters. “They like to hear stories more than they like to fight.”
Schwarzenegger, the eldest daughter of former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, has also spoken out about being a mother. While attending DSW’s “Best Foot Forward” panel luncheon in honor of Women’s History Month in March 2023, she spoke about balancing her role as a children’s book author and also as a mother.
“I’m a big believer. I feel like on Instagram we see all these moms who are like, ‘I’m doing it all, I’m doing it all, I’m doing it all on my own,’ blah, blah, and I’m like, ‘I don’t want to do it all on my own,’” Schwarzenegger said.
She continued: “I want to lean on my sister, I want to lean on my mom, I want to lean on my friends, my mom friends. I want to be honest and transparent and also say, ‘I can’t come today. My daughter is sick. She was up all night teething. I need to be a mom right now.’”
“I think being able to talk openly about the fact that you don’t have to do it all, that you can lean on people, that you can ask others for help and that you’re okay with that,” Schwarzenegger said. “I think that’s a big struggle for women in general, but I think that, especially if you’re juggling multiple roles, is saying, ‘I need help today,’ and that’s OK.”
After eight years of marriage, Pratt and Faris announced their separation in August 2017 and finalized their divorce in October 2018, four months after he began dating Schwarzenegger. Pratt proposed to Schwarzenegger in January 2019 and they married in June of that year.
