  • Katherine Schwarzenegger, wife of Chris Pratt, revealed she hired a step-parenting coach before marrying him to help navigate her role as stepmother to his son, Jack.
  • Schwarzenegger, 35, married Pratt in 2019 and has since had three children with him; Pratt shares 12-year-old Jack with his ex-wife, Anna Faris.
  • She said it was the ‘number one thing’ that helped her become a step-parent, stating that step-parenting lacks a handbook and is confusing, as it is distinct from being a parent, nanny, or assistant.
  • Schwarzenegger expressed gratitude that she, Pratt, Faris, and Faris's husband, Michael Barrett, co-parent Jack effectively, calling it a "huge blessing."
  • Anna Faris has also spoken positively about the current family dynamic, noting that she is "getting closer" to Pratt and Schwarzenegger and appreciates their support.
