Chris Pratt, the 46-year-old Guardians of the Galaxy star, recently celebrated a major milestone as his eldest son, Jack, officially became a teenager. In a heartfelt social media post on Instagram, Pratt reflected on the joy of watching his son grow up and shared a touching message along with some meaningful photos.
Chris Pratt’s Sweet Instagram Tribute
Pratt shared a post to his Instagram Stories with the caption, “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!”
The post included a collage of cherished moments, such as cheering on the Los Angeles Dodgers, a visit to SoFi Stadium, and a heartwarming snap of Jack feeding milk to a baby cow. These photos beautifully showcased the father-son bond they share.
Co-Parenting with Anna Faris
Jack is Pratt’s first child, whom he shares with his ex-wife, actress Anna Faris. Despite their divorce in 2018 after nearly nine years of marriage, the couple has successfully maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship.
Since their split, both have moved on to new chapters. Pratt married author Katherine Schwarzenegger, with whom he shares three children: daughters Lyla, 3, Eloise, 2, and infant son Ford, who is nine months old. Meanwhile, Anna Faris married Michael Barrett in a private ceremony in 2021.
Memorable Moments with Jack
Pratt and Jack made headlines in October when they appeared on the Jumbotron at the World Series Game 1. The duo, dressed in matching Dodgers gear, waved enthusiastically at the camera, and their relationship was praised for its warmth and joy.
In past interviews, Pratt has lovingly spoken about the rewards of fatherhood. During a conversation with Men’s Journal, he emphasized the value of prioritizing parenthood, urging others, “Don’t wait. Have kids. Of course, find the right partner, but don’t hesitate.”
Parenthood’s Impact on Chris Pratt
Pratt has shared how becoming a father has even influenced his career choices. He admitted he’s increasingly drawn to family-friendly projects, wanting to create films that his children can enjoy. “I’ve found myself wanting to do more PG movies. I see a lot because my kids want to watch them, and honestly, some aren’t great,” he explained. “So at the same time as wanting to make movies that entertain my kids, I’m also thinking about creating films that parents will appreciate too.”
Pratt’s dedication to his children underscores how fatherhood has shaped not only his personal life but also his professional endeavors.
