Chris Pratt is officially a father to a teenager! The Guardians of the Galaxy star joyously marked his son Jack’s 13th birthday on Sunday, August 17. Jack, born from Chris’s previous marriage to actress Anna Faris, has officially reached this exciting milestone, and the proud dad couldn’t help but share his disbelief and pride publicly.
Celebrating Jack’s Milestone Birthday
Taking to Instagram Stories, Chris shared a heartfelt tribute to his son, complete with a collage of rare photos. While Chris, his current wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, and Anna Faris generally prioritize keeping their children out of the spotlight, the snapshots offered a glimpse into Jack’s interests. The photos depicted moments of bonding between father and son, from attending sporting events to woodworking and even feeding animals.
In his Instagram caption, Chris marveled, “I have a teenager??? Jack, I can’t believe you are 13 today. I’ve watched you grow into such an incredible young man, and I’m truly proud of the person you are becoming. I love you! Jesus is King!” He finished his message with a red heart and cross emoji, underscoring the strong family bond and faith he cherishes.
Jack’s Journey to Teenagehood
Jack is the only child Chris shares with Anna Faris, who he was married to from 2009 to 2018. Since then, Chris has expanded his family with Katherine Schwarzenegger, whom he married in 2019. Together, they are proud parents to three younger children: daughters Lyla (5), Eloise (3), and son Ford, who was born in November 2024.
Last year, for Jack’s 12th birthday, Chris shared similar sentiments on social media. At the time, he wrote, “Happy Birthday to my wonderful son Jack. I thank God every day for you, sweet boy. You are so smart, hilarious, kind, thoughtful, trustworthy, and tough. I love you so much, kiddo. Twelve!? I honestly can’t believe it.” Clearly, being a father to Jack has been a journey filled with love and pride.
Anna Faris Reflects on Parenting a Teenager
In a previous interview on the Today Show, Anna Faris fondly joked about the experience of parenting a boy on the brink of teenagehood. “He told me that he thinks he has an armpit hair,” she humorously shared, adding: “It’s happening.” Reflecting on watching Jack grow, Anna admitted, “You miss it sometimes when you look at old photos, but I’m really loving this age.”
While their family dynamic has evolved over the years, Anna remarried in 2021, tying the knot with cinematographer Michael Barrett, while Chris has built a happy and expanding family with Katherine Schwarzenegger. Nevertheless, it’s clear that Jack is deeply cherished by both his parents and their respective families.
As Chris celebrated this monumental day, fans around the world also shared in the joy, extending birthday wishes and admiration for the glimpses of fatherhood he shares online. Here’s to Jack’s teenage years—a new chapter filled with excitement, growth, and endless love from his family.
