Chris Pratt congratulates Katherine Schwarzenegger on her 30th birthday – "I don't know what I would do without you"
By Peter Blunt
Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt went to Instagram Friday to celebrate his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger's 30th birthday, and he posted the sweetest message with a photo collage to let fans know how much he is happy that she is in her life.
"Happy birthday Katherine! So happy to have you in my life. I don't know what I would do without you, "wrote the 40-year-old Parks & Rec. "Probably locked up on the balcony somehow and that I have to live there or walk around a city with an unloaded phone and only one shoe, late for work like some kind of dream fever d 'anxiety. Honestly, I don't even want to think about it. "
Pratt went on to say that Schwarzenegger had changed his world for the better and that he was grateful to have found it. He finished his article by writing that she is an "incredible wife and stepmother" and is delighted to celebrate her all weekend.
Pratt and Schwarzenegger announced their engagement in January and married in June after dating for about a year. The ceremony took place at San Ysidro Ranch, a place rich in history. According to the Daily Mail, this is the same place where Vivien Leigh married Laurence Olivier. And, this is also where John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy got married.
Schwarzenegger is part of the famous Kennedy family because his mother, Maria Shriver, is the niece of JFK and Jackie.
Before marrying Schwarzenegger, Pratt was married to Anna Faris from 2009 to 2018. They announced their separation in August 2017, and the former couple continue to co-parent their seven-year-old son Jack.
After the split, Faris continued with director of photography Michael Barrett, whom she met on the set of her film Overboard, a remake of the 1987 film with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. According to TMZ, Faris and Barrett are engaged, but they have not revealed any details about their next marriage.
As for Chris Pratt, he also published a video for Katherine Schwarzenegger who presented her pigs Tim and Faith – who were a gift from her on her birthday – eating a treat while he sang "Happy Birthday" to Katherine.
