Suddenly, the name Katherine Schwarzenegger has been coming up a lot , and we want to know, who is she? What’s her story?
Up until a couple of months ago, I didn’t even know she existed, and now she’s about to marry Chris Pratt— leaving women all over the world completely brokenhearted. So, we want to know what all the hype is about.
Well, ladies, if you missed it, dream-hunk Chris Pratt is officially off the market.
Not that any of us really had a chance, but it was nice to know we had options. But it looks like that ship is sailing away, full speed ahead.
After splitting up with Anna Faris and settling their divorce in November, Chris has been lucky enough to find love again, this time, with Katherine Schwarzenegger.
We knew he couldn’t stay single for long. Look at that face!
To commemorate Katherine’s birthday, Chris made this adorable collage and posted it on Instagram.
Chris made things Instagram official when he posted this, with the caption: “Happy Birthday Chief! Your smile lights up the room. I’ve cherished our time together. Thrilled God put you in my life. Thankful for the laughs, kisses, talks, hikes, love and care.”
The couple have been dating since June, and as of just one day ago, have decided to tie the knot.
What a difference seven months can make!Things seem to be moving at lightning-speed between these two, but they look happy as ever.
Chris popped the question, and posted this photo to announce their engagement on Instagram .
The congratulatory comments and tweets came pouring in for the happy couple.
They’re so cute, It’s hard not to be excited for them.
Plus, look at the rock on her finger. That, 5-carat diamond ring on its own is a cause for celebration.
But, if we’re really honest with ourselves, some of us are kind of bummed that Chris is no longer a bachelor.
But at least he’s marrying someone that gets our stamp of approval. Katherine is quite the lady!
Even Chris’ ex wife, whom he was married to for nine years, congratulated them.
For some of us, this came as a shock. Since their divorce was only finalized in 2018, it was hard to not have reservations about any residual feelings they may have towards each other.
But this person raised a pretty good point.
Chris and Anna are co-parents to their son, so congratulating each other on their new relationships is the polite, healthy, mature thing to do.
So, who exactly is Katherine Schwarzenegger?
Before you can give Chris your full blessing, there are a few things you need to know about Katherine.
She really is as amazing as the rumors tell.
You may be wondering why the last name, Schwarzenegger, sounds so familiar to you.
The answer to that is plain and simple. It’s because Katherine is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daughters.
If that still isn’t ringing any bells, here’s even more of a break-down to jog your memory.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the star of all the Terminator movies, the same guy who says the famous line “I’ll be back.”
He was also the Governor of California from 2003-2011.
Impressive, really.
Her mom is Maria Shriver, someone who’s had a lengthy career in media, and is related to the Kennedy’s.
Yes, it’s the Kennedy’s you’re thinking of.
That means Katherine Schwarzenegger is, by extension, related to John F. Kennedy. He was her uncle!
Katherine has three siblings as well.
She has two brothers, Christopher, 21, Patrick, 25, and one sister, Christina, 27.
Here’s a throwback of them all together!
Katherine is a 29-year-old lifestyle blogger, and ASPCA ambassador.
Her self-titled blog covers all of her ASCPCA animal adventures, style, home, beauty, health, and food.
She’s also an author.
Katherine seems to have a talent for writing. After her blog took off, she also dabbled in writing novels , called Rock What You Got , I Just Graduated… Now What? , and a children’s book called Maverick And Me , named after her real-life dog, Maverick.
She’s a university graduate.
Katherine graduated from university in 2012, from the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California.
She’s quite the scholar!
She really loves animals.
Her Instagram is filled with photos of her helping out at the ASPCA, her and her dog, and her just generally around animals.
It’s adorable.
Especially her dog, Maverick.
Her children’s book, Maverick And Me , starring her real-life canine companion, has been a real hit with the kids, and in our hearts.
This doesn’t get any cuter.
She even made him his own Instagram account.
Just when I thought she couldn’t get any sweeter, I find out she has an Instagram profile just for her dog.
People who make Instagram accounts for their pets are the purest, most wholesome souls on the planet.
Everyone loves their pets, but you have to love your pet on a whole other level to maintain an Instagram account for them.
She is friends with Ariana Grande’s brother, Frankie Grande.
Major brownie points for having nearly zero degrees of separation between herself and Ariana Grande.

I’m living for this friendship right now.
Overall, she seems cool as AF. Definitely someone you want to be friends with.
A blogger, a children’s author, an animal lover, a dog-owner, a university graduate, and a fashionista.
I don’t think it gets much better than that. Chris really hit that jackpot with this one!
It’s pretty for Chris to be able to say that Arnold Schwarzenegger is his father-in-law.
And it’s also pretty cool that Arnold gets to say that Chris Pratt is his son-in-law.
Really a win-win situation going on.
Here’s to the happy couple!
Hopefully, for Chris, second time’s the charm!
We all have seriously high hopes that this couple goes the distance, and we are excited as hell to see the wedding photos.
