Chris Pratt, the beloved actor known for his roles in Parks and Recreation and the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, has recently welcomed his fourth child into the world. The 45-year-old and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, 34, have announced the birth of their third child together, a baby boy named Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt.

A Blossoming Family Tree

The Eldest: Jack Pratt

Chris Pratt's journey into fatherhood began in 2012 when he and his then-wife, Anna Faris, welcomed their son Jack. Little Jack had a challenging start, being born nine weeks premature and spending a significant amount of time in the hospital. Despite the initial concerns from doctors that he might be "developmentally disabled," Jack has since proven to be a thriving and "very advanced" child, according to Chris. The proud father has made a conscious effort to keep his children out of the spotlight, but he has shared heartwarming glimpses of their bond, including a photo of Jack and his younger sisters wearing matching jerseys at a baseball game.

The Eldest Daughters: Lyla and Eloise

In 2019, Chris Pratt married Katherine Schwarzenegger, and a year later, they welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Lyla. The couple has been intentional about protecting their children's privacy, with Katherine expressing a desire to give them the same opportunity she had to develop their own identity and choose when to engage with the public eye. Lyla, now four years old, has shown a love for horses, with Katherine often sharing adorable snapshots of her daughter riding and tending to the animals. In 2022, the family grew again with the arrival of their second daughter, Eloise. Katherine has shared that the two sisters have a close bond, with Lyla eagerly embracing her role as a big sister.

The Newest Addition: Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt

The latest addition to the Pratt-Schwarzenegger clan is the newborn son, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt, born on November 8th. Although the couple has not yet shared a photo of the little one, they have expressed their joy and gratitude for his arrival. Chris had previously revealed that they had chosen not to learn the sex of the baby before the birth, wanting to be surprised. With three older siblings to welcome him, Ford is sure to be surrounded by love and support as he embarks on his own journey.

A Blended Family Filled with Love

Chris Pratt's family has grown exponentially, with his eldest son, Jack, now 12 years old, and his three younger children with Katherine Schwarzenegger. The actor has spoken fondly of the bond between his older and younger children, noting that Jack has taken on a nurturing role with his sisters. As the family continues to expand, it's clear that Chris and Katherine are committed to providing a loving and supportive environment for their children to thrive. With each new addition, the Pratt-Schwarzenegger household becomes a testament to the power of family and the joy that can come from embracing the unexpected.
