Chris Pratt And Catherine Schwarzenegger take parenting a notch higher, highlighting a unique rule in their household.
The couple’s parenting style perhaps comes as no surprise, as they gave insight into the shared principles they actively put in place to keep their family life grounded.
While the Pratt household seems to be prospering wonderfully, his career does not seem to be doing so well.
Chris Pratt reveals the rule of cinema that exists in their house
The films are widely accessible to many, but that’s not the case for Pratt and Schwarzenegger’s children, as they shared according to E! Online.
The “Parks and Recreation” alum revealed that not only have he and his wife’s children, Lyla, 5, Eloise, 3, and Ford, 16 months, never watched his movies, they’ve never watched a movie at all.
“My children, 5 years old, 3 years old and 1 year old, have never seen films,” he detailed, describing his wife as being old school. “Katherine is very old-school when it comes to screens and technology and everything else. So we’re waiting.”
However, the actor, also father to 13-year-old son Jack with ex-wife Anna Faris, is looking forward to the day when his youngest children finally watch his films.
“There’s going to be a season, they’re going to realize their dad is really cool,” he teased. “They haven’t realized it yet, but one day.”
He added that his teenage son already sees it that way. “My 13-year-old son, I took him to a screening of the first movie,” he said of his animated film “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” “He thinks it’s pretty cool.”
Chris Pratt credits his son’s faith journey
Although Pratt grew up with a strong understanding of the faith due to his Catholic background, his beliefs wavered over time.
As The Blast reports, after rediscovering his faith, Pratt admitted to struggling internally, caught in cycles of sin and forgiveness. This continued until the birth of her son, who was reportedly born nine weeks premature in 2012 and spent a month in intensive care.
“Then, as my son Jack fought for his life, I found myself on my knees, begging God for a miracle. I promised that if Jack survived, I would dedicate my life to sharing God’s message. This time, I meant it.”
The actor noted that since his family went through this difficult time, every day has given him a new opportunity to thank God for his family and children.
Katherine Schwarzenegger turns to therapy to cope with parenting
Schwarzenegger didn’t just jump into parenthood; she took intentional steps to ensure she approached this role with care and awareness.
As The Blast reports, she prepared for her new responsibilities, not only as Pratt’s wife but also as a stepmother, by seeing a stepparent therapist shortly after their engagement, fully aware of the role she was stepping into.
“And it’s been incredibly helpful to me and also to understanding my role as a stepparent,” the author shared, reflecting on her co-parenting dynamic with her husband’s ex.
She admitted that although her ego sometimes surfaces, she has learned to manage it, recognizing that the focus must remain on the child rather than herself.
Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger talk marriage counseling
The couple’s intentional approach to parenting comes as no surprise, as they’ve previously talked about the foundational steps they took before marriage.
According to The Blast, the “Jurassic World” star revealed that premarital counseling played a big role in strengthening their relationship before it started.
“We enjoyed six sessions with this guy who was, by the way, the best thing in the world.” She noted
“If you’re planning to get married, you should definitely follow this,” he continued, giving insight into the questions the board is forcing people to sit down on.
Chris Pratt freaks out about his career update
While his family life continues to flourish, the same cannot be said for his career at the moment. Her recent film, “Mercy,” received negative reviews and has performed poorly at the box office since its release this month.
According to The Blast, an insider revealed, “Chris is freaking out. Period.” Elaborating further, they added, “This is the first time he’s really felt his age in Hollywood, and it shook him.”
They also noted that before “Mercy,” Pratt had starred in several hit franchises that were expected to be successful. Without that strong support, he would now face the possibility that he might no longer be as untouchable as he once believed.
