Chris Pratt and wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, have officially become parents of three as they welcomed their third child, a baby boy, to the world.
Schwarzenegger revealed the news on Monday that she gave birth to a son, named Ford Fitzgerald Pratt, on Friday, November 8.
‘We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our son, Ford Fitzgerald Pratt,’ she captioned the post. ‘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,’ the pair wrote in a joint post.
The name is seemingly a nod to late former President John F. Kennedy, whose middle name was Fitzgerald.
The best-selling author, who is the daughter of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, is JFK’s great niece.

The Jurassic World actor, 45, and Katherine, 34, already share two daughters: Lyla, four, and Eloise, two. He is also father to son Jack, 12, whom he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris.
DailyMail.com has reached out to both of their reps but have not heard back at this time.
Earlier this year in June, it was revealed that the author was expecting baby number three – and the couple notably waited until the birth of their child to find out the gender.
During an interview on Today last month in October, the topic of the baby’s gender came up and Pratt simply explained, ‘We don’t know. I’ve got my son Jack and then the two girls. So, we don’t know. We wait.’
However, the actor 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.’
After the baby news came to light, Katherine was spotted showing off her growing baby bump on various outings and on social media.
Back in July, the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger flashed a cheerful smile as she flashed her burgeoning stomach in pair of pink, gingham overalls.
Last week, both Chris and Katherine were spotted on a stroll together in Los Angeles – after the actor garnered backlash for sharing his views on the presidential election.

During the daytime excursion, Schwarzenegger could be seen wearing a fitted, black bodysuit which showcased her baby bump.
Back in May, the Guardians Of The Galaxy star revealed the ‘big difference’ between raising his son and daughters while opening up about parenthood.
He had gushed about his kids during an interview with E! News as he promoted his animated film, The Garfield Movie.
‘I hate to make generalizations based on gender but, in my experience, girls are more emotional. They’ve got me wrapped around their finger. It’s wild,’ Pratt told the outlet.
He added that both his son and daughters are ‘cuddly and snuggly,’ but explained that his girls ‘don’t like to rough house as much.’
Chris stated, ‘I’ll hit them with a pillow and they’ll go, “Daddy, that hurt my feelings.” They like to hear stories more than they like to wrestle.’

The star also explained that his daughters, ‘take after their mother, who is incredibly organized.’
‘But even the differences between my two daughters just goes to show that every child is a little bit different.’
Pratt later explained why he enjoyed taking on his latest role as Garfield, and stated that voice acting offers ‘the types of roles that allow me to be home.’
‘It works nicely to have a job that allows me to put my kids to bed at night and be present. Taking a voice work means that’s a movie that I don’t have to be on the road.’
Pratt began dating Katherine in the summer of 2018, and the couple tied the knot the following year in June.
The first daughter, Lyla, was welcomed to the world in 2020, and their second little girl was born in May 2022.

He was also previously married to actress Anna Faris from 2009 through 2018 – and the former couple share son Jack.
For the past two Mother’s Day holidays, social media users pointed out that Chris had failed to give a shout out to Faris.
Last year, the Passengers actor was labeled ‘trash’ and ‘the worst’ for leaving his ex-wife out of his Mother’s Day tribute.
It came not long after he was embroiled in controversy for praising wife Katherine for giving him ‘a beautiful, healthy daughter’ after Eloise was born.
Some social media users speculated that his words were a dig at Anna Faris after their son, Jack, was born premature and struggled with medical conditions.
Pratt admitted that the backlash had sparked an emotional reaction from him. ‘That is f***ed up. My son’s gonna read that one day. He’s nine. And it’s etched in digital stone,’ he said at the time.
Katherine has also opened up about motherhood and how she feels in regards to asking for help while juggling parenthood and work.
During a luncheon event last year, per People, she said, ‘I’m a big believer – I feel like on Instagram we see all these moms that are like, “I’m doing it all, I’m doing it all, I’m doing it all on my own,” blah-blah and I’m like, “I don’t want to do it all on my own.”‘

‘I want to lean on my sister, I want to lean on my mom, I want to lean on my girlfriends, my mom friends.’
Schwarzenegger added, ‘I want to be honest and transparent and also say, “I can’t make this today. My kid’s sick. She was up all night teething. I need to be a mom right now.”‘
‘So I think being able to be open about the fact that you don’t have to do it all, you can lean on people, you can enlist help from others and being okay with that.’
‘That, I feel, is such a big struggle for women in general, but I think especially if you’re balancing multiple roles, is saying, “I need help today,” and that’s okay.’
