He then revealed that religion played a key role in him meeting his wife and creating a new life for himself. "I met my wife in church. I was at a church in Hollywood, and I looked over, and I saw her; I know you're not supposed to be checking out girls in church, but I'm only human, and I just thought: 'Wow, she's really cute,'" he said.
"And so I was there with my son Jack, and I picked him up from the kids' program, and Jack and I met Katherine at the same time basically, and the rest is history." Jack is Pratt's eldest son, whom he shares with his first wife, Anna Faris.

Pratt and Schwarzenegger were first spotted together in 2018, with them spending a lot of time with Jack. The pair got married a year later and shared the news of their pregnancy in 2020. They now share three kids: Eloise, Lyla, and Ford.
In a recent interview, Schwarzenegger shed light on how her family spends the holidays, sharing that the topic is very important for them and was part of their agreement before getting married. When asked about the right time to put up the Christmas lights, Schwarzenegger said, “Yes, it was an agreement that my husband and I had prior to getting married. Christmas lights and Christmas music start November 1st," she said in an interview with Fox News Digital.

Schwarzenegger shared that the holidays are her favorite time of the year. “The holiday season, like November 1st, is my time. It’s like my time of the year, it’s my time to thaw from my icicle that I’ve been living in and to really emerge as a Christmas queen."
“We’re just a day or two into it and every tradition that we do from putting up our Christmas lights on November 1 to blasting Christmas music to gathering all together as a family, which I’m really grateful and proud that our family makes a priority every single holiday season,” she concluded.
