Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s daughters had vastly different reactions when they met Santa Claus this season.
On Saturday, December 16, Schwarzenegger, 34, joked on Instagram that one of her children was in hysterics at the sight of Santa, and the other asked him to come over for a play date. She also shared a photo of herself laughing and holding her daughter Eloise, 1, as they walked away from Santa Claus. Her older daughter Lyla, 3, seemed to be staring back at St. Nick, who was sitting on an ornate gold chair and laughing.
Schwarzenegger and Pratt had their daughters Lyla and Eloise in August 2020 and May 2022, respectively. Pratt also has a son, Jack, from his previous marriage to Anna Faris. After 8 years of marriage, Pratt and Faris divorced in 2018, and Faris married Michael Barrett in 2021.
Pratt and Schwarzenegger met at church, as the actor explained to Extra in 2019, “It was a lot of kismet, and a lot of connections, but that was where we met.” They got engaged less than a year into their relationship and were married in 2019.
Ever since the arrival of their two children, Schwarzenegger made it clear to We that she and Pratt are open to the possibility of adding to their family in the future.

"I come from a large family and I really enjoy having many kids around, so the idea of having a big family appeals to me," she told Us in October 2022. "We will do whatever is in God's plan for us."
Schwarzenegger also mentioned that she and Pratt have sought guidance from her mother, Maria Shriver, when it comes to parenting.
“She expressed to Us, “I consider myself fortunate to have such an incredible role model in my mom, and to witness firsthand how she manages to juggle everything. I’ve learned a lot from her, and being able to discuss things with her is invaluable. Ultimately, I realize that time with family is the most significant.”
