Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are taking parenting a notch higher, shedding light on a unique rule in their home.
The couple’s parenting style may not come as a surprise, as they gave insight into shared principles they actively put in place to keep their family life grounded.
While the Pratt household appears to be thriving beautifully, his career, however, does not seem to be faring as well.
Chris Pratt Reveals The Movie Rule That Exists In Their Home
Movies are widely accessible to many, but that is not the case for Pratt and Schwarzenegger’s children, as they shared per 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, but they have never watched any films at all.
“My 5-year-old, my 3-year-old, and my 1-year-old have never seen movies,” he detailed, describing his wife as old-school. “Katherine is very old-school when it comes to screens and technology and all of that stuff. So, we’re waiting.”
However, the actor, also a father to 13-year-old son Jack with ex-wife Anna Faris, is looking forward to the day his younger children finally watch his films.
“There’s gonna be a season, they’re gonna 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 him that way. “My 13-year-old, 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 Attributes Faith Journey To His Son
Although Pratt grew up with a strong understanding of faith due to his Catholic background, his beliefs wavered over time.
As reported by The Blast, after rediscovering his faith, Pratt admitted he struggled internally, caught in cycles of sin and forgiveness. This continued until the birth of his son, who was reportedly born nine weeks prematurely in 2012 and spent a month in intensive care.
“Then, when my son Jack was fighting for his life, I found myself back on my knees, pleading to God for a miracle. I promised that if Jack survived, I would devote my life to sharing God’s message. This time I meant it.”
The actor noted that since his family made it through that difficult period, each day has given him a renewed opportunity to thank God for his family and children.
Katherine Schwarzenegger Turns To Therapy To Embrace Parenting Role
Schwarzenegger did not simply step into parenting; she took intentional steps to ensure she approached the role with care and awareness.
As reported by The Blast, she prepared for her new responsibilities, not only as Pratt’s wife but also as a stepmother, by consulting a step-parenting therapist shortly after their engagement, fully aware of the role she was stepping into.
“And it’s been incredibly helpful for me and also just understanding my role as a step-parent,” the author shared, reflecting on her co-parenting dynamic with her husband’s ex.
She admitted that while her ego occasionally surfaces, she has learned to manage it, recognizing that the focus should remain on the child rather than herself.
Chris Pratt And Katherine Schwarzenegger Speak About Marriage Counseling
The couple’s intentional approach to parenting comes as no surprise, as they have previously spoken about the foundational steps they took before marriage.
Per The Blast, the “Jurassic World” star revealed that premarital counseling played a significant role in strengthening their relationship before it began.
“We did like six sessions with this guy who was, by the way, the best thing in the world.” She noted
“If you’re somebody who’s thinking of getting married, you should definitely follow this,” he continued, giving insights into the questions counseling forces one to sit with.
Chris Pratt Panics Over Career Update
While his family life continues to flourish, the same cannot be said for his career at the moment. His recent movie, “Mercy,” has received negative reviews and performed poorly at the box office since its release this month.
Per The Blast, an insider revealed, “Chris is panicking. Full stop.” Elaborating further, they added, “This is the first time he’s really feeling his age in Hollywood, and it’s shaken him.”
They also noted that prior to “Mercy,” Pratt had starred in several blockbuster franchises that were expected to succeed. Without that strong backing, he is now reportedly confronting the possibility that he may not be as untouchable as he once believed.
