Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, who is married to actor Chris Pratt, has shared her thoughts on the possibility of leaving Hollywood, but only under one condition: her entire family would have to move with her. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Schwarzenegger Pratt emphasized the importance of maintaining close relationships with her parents, Arnold and Maria Shriver, as well as her siblings and children. Her decision to stay close to her family reflects a deep-seated value she prioritizes in her personal life.
In her discussion, Schwarzenegger Pratt mentioned that she would like to relocate to a place where she can enjoy being surrounded by animals, particularly her beloved horse, Brandy. However, she clarified that this desire is secondary to the importance of family. ‘Because there’s nothing that is more important to me than being able to be in close proximity to my parents and to my siblings,’ she explained. ‘And to be able to have that for our children is such a huge blessing and a gift. A gift that I can’t get anywhere else.’
Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt is also an author, having recently released her latest book, ‘Kat and Brandy.’ This book is centered on the deep connection between animals and humans, drawing from her own childhood experiences. The story follows her relationship with her horse, Brandy, which she described as a significant part of her life. She mentioned that her book, which is available now, is inspired by these memories and the theme of shared activities with a parent or caregiver that help children develop confidence and courage.
As a mother, Schwarzenegger Pratt has also found her experiences raising her children, Lyla, Eloise, and Ford, to be invaluable in shaping her writing. She shared that her children’s honest feedback has helped her create a more authentic and relatable story for young readers. Her narrative highlights the importance of bonding through shared activities, not only with animals but also with parents and caregivers.
The most rewarding aspect of being a mother for Schwarzenegger Pratt has been watching the sibling dynamics among her children evolve. She described how observing their relationships develop at an early stage has been a source of great joy. ‘My favorite part of being a mom of three children is watching their relationships and their bond really develop at a very early stage. And to just watch them build these connections is really sweet and special,’ she said.
