Chris Pratt and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger have confirmed the birth of their third child and his unusual name.
The Jurrasic World actor, 45, and Katherine, 34, have announced the birth of their son who they have named Ford.
‘We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our son, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt.
‘Mama and baby are doing well and Ford’s siblings are thrilled by his arrival. We feel so blessed and grateful. Love, Katherine and Chris,’ read the caption of a joint post from the couple.
Their son is Chris’s fourth child who already shares Lyla, four, and Eloise, two with Katherine.
Chris also has an older son named Jack, 12, whom he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris.
Fans were surprised by the name for their newborn son, with some wondering if the youngster was perhaps named after someone, and others questioning if the name was more suited to a law firm.
Another pointed out that the newborn’s initials were now FFS Pratt, with many others sharing their excitement for the couple.
The couple married in 2019 and recently celebrated their five-year anniversary in June.
The pair announced they were expecting their third child in June, but the couple wanted to wait to find out the gender of their baby until they were born.
Speaking to Today, the actor explained why he didn’t want to know the gender of his newborn.
‘We don’t know. I’ve got my son Jack and then the two girls. So, we don’t know. We wait.’
He added: ‘I have a feeling. I have an intuition, but I won’t say what it is now in case I’m wrong and that child sees this. One day child, you’ll know. I knew.’
The actor, who is set to star in a huge blockbuster with Millie Bobby Brown, has received some flak recently for sharing his comments about the election.
Many found his comments minimised the impact and importance of the election, and felt he was ‘playing both sides’ as he refused to support Harris or Trump and instead encouraged people to ‘unite as countrymen’.
‘I write this now because about half of the voting population is going to be incredibly disappointed on November 6th. But for me, the question is not, “Did your candidate win or lose?” but rather, “Will you wake up the next morning and help an old lady move?”
‘It’s OK to take a moment to lick your wounds when you lose. Heck, go ahead and cry in the mirror. But if we become too paralyzed by defeat or too pompous in victory, allegiance to our ‘team’ can blind us to the fact that we are fellow countrymen.’
