Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are absolutely in love with their new baby girl. The Park & Recreation alum, 41, took to Instagram on August 10 to share the wonderful news that he and his wife, 30, had welcomed their baby girl into the world. He also revealed her beautiful name, which the proud parents gave in honor of Katherine’s devoted, inspiring mom, Maria Shriver.
“We are beyond thrilled to announce the birth of our daughter, Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt,” Chris began the caption to the post, which featured his, Katherine’s and their daughter’s hands sweetly holding one another. “We couldn’t be happier. Both mom and baby are doing great. We are extremely blessed. Love Katherine and Chris.” While Lyla is the beautiful name that the couple chose for their daughter, they honored Katherine’s mom by using her first name as their daughter’s middle name. Too sweet!
Along with the message, Chris included two bible versus below the caption. It’s been a thrilling 24 hours for the first-time mom and second-time dad. Katherine’s own brother, Patrick Schwarzenegger, confirmed the news that the couple had welcomed their first child together on August 9. “They’re doing great — just got her a little gift,” the excited uncle shared.
