Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt and Chris Pratt are parents to a third child together. After two girls, Lyla and Eloise, they now have a boy named Ford. This is Chris’ second son. His first is his oldest child, Jack, with his former wife, Palisadian Anna Faris.
Grandma Maria Shriver, Katherine’s mother, posted the birth announcement on her Facebook page.
“My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the arrival of sweet baby Ford! . . . .In moments like these, I’m reminded of the importance of nurturing a world filled with kindness, compassion and acceptance for every child.
“May we all do our part to build a brighter, gentler world for them to grown into-a world where they can feel safe, loved, and free to be who they truly are.
“Welcome to the world, little one. You are already so loved,” Shriver wrote.
Katherine and Chris remain Pacific Palisades homeowners. In July 2023 they listed their mansion on a private street near the end of Bienveneda Avenue for $32 million. When they took down the for-sale sign in June of this year, they had cut the price to $25.5 million. But it had not sold. And they stayed in the home while Katherine was pregnant.
The couple caused an architectural uproar earlier this year when, to make way for a larger house, they demolished a beloved mid-century modern home that was on a lot they had bought in Brentwood.
That lot is across the street from where Shriver lives.
So, when Katherine and Chris’ new home is completed and they move in, they’ll have a babysitter just a few feet away.
