Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are currently one of Hollywood’s favorite couples.
Their social media timelines are filled with jokes, books, faith, and tons of animals, so many people relate and love the stars because of this.
It makes them seem more relatable.
But just because fans love to like and comment on all their photos, that doesn’t mean they know everything about the couple!
That’s why we made this list! To help all of you out.
It’s time to learn more about this famous duo and why people adore them.
1. Katherine is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daughter.
Yes, this means that the Terminator is Chris’s father-in-law. No pressure!
Thankfully, when Arnold stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2019, he revealed that he likes Chris. So at least we know he’s in with the family.
“I was blown away when my daughter was telling me that she was going out with him,” the *Commando* actor said.
He added that Pratt is a “really great guy” who’s “really kind” to his daughter.
Aww! I would lowkey love to be part of this sweet looking family.
2. Chris ended up earning Arnold’s approval through the gym.
Chris did so by asking his future father-in-law if they could work out together the first time they met.
“When I watched him make his moves in the gym, the incline press specifically did it,” Arnold shared. “[That’s] why I wanted him to become my son-in-law. It was the incline press.”
3. Katherine is an author and blogger.
Unlike Chris’s ex-wife, Anna Faris, Katherine is no actress.
She has written three self-help books: Rock What You’ve Got: Secrets to Loving Your Inner and Outer Beauty from Someone Who’s Been There And Back , The Gift of Forgiveness: Inspiring Stories from Those Who Have Overcome the Unforgivable , and I Just Graduated … Now What?: Honest Answers from Those Who Have Been There .
As a good husband, Chris has been nothing but supportive.
“Over the past year and a half Katherine has worked tirelessly curating the most remarkable real life stories of forgiveness I’ve ever read. Prepare to have you heart opened and your mind blown,” Chris shared on Instagram.
4. Katherine is reportedly the first woman Pratt dated after his split from Anna.
They met thanks to Katherine’s mother, Maria Shriver, in June 2018.
“Maria helped set them up,” a source told People .
Since she knew Chris from mutual friends, she was the one integral in setting them up.
5. They first went public with their love on December 13, 2018.
To make things Instagram official, Pratt sent out a sweet birthday message for Schwarzenegger.
Could they be more adorable?? They clearly have a lot of silly times together. How can you not with someone like Pratt?
6. Katherine met Chris’ family in September 2018.
Judging by this pic, she fits right in!
The fam spent time at Round Pond Estate Winery in Rutherford, California. “So thankful for time shared with my family & friends!” Pratt’s brother, Cully Pratt, captioned this pic.
7. They got engaged after less than a year.
When you know you know.
The couple officially announced their engagement on January 14, 2019 in an Instagram post, which showed off Katherine’s new bling.
“Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I’m thrilled to be marrying you. Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go!” Pratt wrote .
Chris’ ex wife, Anna Faris, was supportive of their union.
The pair split after eight years of marriage in October 2018.
In addition to this comment on Chris’ page, the Moms star also wrote, “I’m so happy for you both!!! I love you guys!!” on Katherine’s post.
8. They got married in 2019.
The Rock What You Got author and the Avengers star got married in a romantic ceremony with friends and family in California.

“Yesterday was the best day of our lives! We became husband and wife in front of God, our families and those we love. It was intimate, moving and emotional,” she shared.
9. They made their red carpet debut at the premiere of Pratt’s film, *Avengers: Endgame*.
This was a big deal for the couple since Pratt had starred in three other big films during their relationship.
But they definitely looked gorgeous on the carpet side by side.
10. Katherine caught flack for sharing a Father’s Day post for Chris on Instagram.
Since Anna and Chris share a son, Jack, this makes Katherine a stepmom.
It’s a role she clearly enjoys, as she shared a picture on Father’s Day of Chris overlooking Jack as he cuts wood with a mini ax.
It was captioned, “Happy Father’s Day to my wonderful husband.”
“Watching you be such a hands on and loving father was one of the many reasons I fell in love with you, and continue to each day. I love you.”
Sadly, the comments got nasty, with people saying that it was inappropriate for a stepmom to be posting a Father’s Day tribute.

14. They want a lot of children.
“The future? Oh. Lots of kids,” Pratt told Entertainment Tonight shortly after he proposed to Schwarzenegger. “Maybe less time spent working, more time spent enjoying life.”
