Katherine Schwarznegger and Chris Pratt have been together since 2018 and during that time her profile has been somewhat high as a lifestyle blogger and now author of several books. While she says photographers follow her and her famous Marvel star husband even when they’re at places like farmers markets, she recently explained that they are her own famous parents, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver , who helped prepare her for a life of glory.
In fact, when asked about being followed by the papparazzi, the mother-of-two told the New York Times“I feel like I was very prepared.”
She said her parents always allowed her and her siblings to have a life of their own, despite the fact that throughout her childhood, her father Arnold Schwarzenegger was first a big star of cinema, then remained in the public eye while serving as governor of California. His mother, Maria Shriver, was a prominent journalist and news anchor in her own right. They both made an effort to keep their children – including her equally famous brother Patrick – out of the limelight. And Katherine wants to do it the same way.
I know it sounds crazy, but I would really like to do exactly what they did. I think back to the part of life that my parents kept private, and I have a lot of respect for that. I think they kept a lot of their relationship private, they kept our kids private – you know, they didn’t take us to red carpets, they didn’t parade us in front of everyone.
She has already started down this path. While she and Chris Pratt have two children together and Katherine regularly posts about them, she has taken care of hide Pratt girls face on social media. In fact, many of these Pratt family photos are always super adorable while keeping their daughters private. When they’re old, they’ll probably be able to make their own choices on social media.
Not all famous parents are like that. THE The Kardashians post photos of their children quite regularly. Other celebrity parents, including Gwyneth Paltrow, try to keep boundaries intact, though it’s worth noting her daughter with Chris Martin Apple once roasted its mother for posting a photo without his permission.
There’s no manual on how to do things, but it seems Katherine Schwarzenegger really liked the way her famous parents did it. She also told the outlet that she was getting another lesson from her mom and dad about how she wanted to live personally. This philosophy?
I want to be like the way my parents always raised us to work very hard and be very good people and leave a better world.
Both Chris Pratt and Katherine are charity advocates, including special olympics, of which they are global ambassadors. Along with that, Schwarzenegger is an ambassador for the Best Friends Animal Society and the ASPCA. His book Goodnight sister raised funds for Save the Children. They are always followed by papparazzi when they move (Pratt even gently but firmly confronted a pap once) but it looks like she has the basics to move forward and simultaneously live a happy and famous life.
