When Pratt asked how she was feeling during the call, Schwarzenegger said, “I just hope not to go into labor before you get home.” Reacting to this, co-anchor Hoda Kotb progressed to ask the couple about their baby’s delivery date. Making a joke, Pratt responded, “She has two minutes. Any moment now. No, probably a couple of weeks.”
While speaking with the hosts, Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, Pratt stated that they didn’t know the gender of their unborn child. Pratt said, “I have a feeling. I have an intuition but I won’t say it now in case I’m wrong and this child sees this, and that’s confusing for them. One day, child, you’ll know. I knew. I knew exactly what you were.”
What Happened Between Chris Pratt and His Ex-Wife?
On August 6, 2017, the internet was shaken after Chris Pratt and his ex-wife, Anna Faris, announced their separation. The couple, who tied the knot in 2009, took to Facebook to announce their legal separation in a joint statement. Subsequently, in September 2017, it was confirmed that Anna Faris was in a relationship with cinematographer Michael Barrett.

“Divorce sucks. But at the end of the day, we’ve got a great kid who’s got two parents who love him very much,” Pratt said. “And we’re finding a way to navigate this while still remaining friends and still being kind to one another. It’s not ideal, but yeah, I think both of us are actually probably doing better.”
Chris Pratt and Anna Faris eventually finalized their divorce in October 2018, ending their nearly 9-year marriage. The couple remained cordial, opting for shared custody, no spousal maintenance or child support, and a joint account for Jack’s expenses. They also pledged to stay within five miles of one another until Jack completed sixth grade.
