Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have once again captured fans’ attention, sparking excitement as their family grows.
The couple, who exchanged vows in a private Montecito ceremony in 2019, are welcoming another precious addition into their lives.
Known for their heartfelt social media moments, Pratt and Schwarzenegger often update followers on family milestones, including anniversary celebrations and playful parenting highlights.
Pratt, 45, and Schwarzenegger, 34, share two daughters together, Lyla Maria, born in August 2020, and Eloise Christina, born in May 2022.
Pratt also has a 12-year-old son, Jack, from his previous marriage to actress Anna Faris, making their family dynamic an evolving blend of love and laughter.
Ahead of this latest arrival, the couple kept the baby’s gender a mystery, opting to wait until the big day for the reveal.
Pratt dropped hints about his intuition regarding the baby’s gender but kept details private, saying he didn’t want to “confuse” his future child if he happened to guess wrong.
“One day, child, you’ll know I knew. I knew exactly who you were,” Pratt humorously teased in a recent interview.
During an October appearance on the TODAY show, Schwarzenegger lightheartedly expressed her hope that her husband would return from promoting his upcoming film *The Electric State* in time for the birth.
Schwarzenegger, a children’s book author and daughter of journalist Maria Shriver and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, has previously spoken about her enthusiasm for a big family.
“I come from a big family, so I love the idea of having a lot of kids around,” she shared, indicating her dreams for her own children to grow up surrounded by family.
To add to the anticipation, Schwarzenegger posted a photo of Eloise wearing a “Big Sis” cap, giving followers a sweet glimpse of how much the family was looking forward to the new arrival.
For this birth, Pratt and Schwarzenegger went beyond the usual reveal, choosing a name that carries a meaningful connection to Schwarzenegger’s lineage.
Fans finally learned the unique name of the baby boy through a joint Instagram post, shared with a soft baby blue graphic and an expression of the family’s joy.
“We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our son, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt,” read the caption.
“Mama and baby are doing well, and Ford’s siblings are thrilled by his arrival. We feel so blessed and grateful,” the couple wrote.
The baby’s middle name, “Fitzgerald,” honors Schwarzenegger’s great-uncle, the late President John F. Kennedy, adding a layer of family pride to the distinctive choice.
As the family settles into life with their newborn, fans eagerly await moments featuring Ford, whose unique name has already made waves.
Dubbed by some as “the funniest name ever,” Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt will undoubtedly bring more joy—and likely a bit of laughter—into their home.
