Chris Pratt talks about being “devastated” before meeting wife Katherine Schwarzenegger

Chris Pratt opened up about meeting his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, while he was still at work The Drew Barrymore Show on Tuesday.

The Guardians of the Galaxy actor, 43, was overjoyed when he first saw her while at church while on the Ever After actress’s talk show to promote his new movie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, to promote.

He explained to 48-year-old Barrymore that “there was a point in my life when I was really struggling and feeling really broken,” before meeting 33-year-old Katherine.

Pratt then went on to tell the whole story of how he met the rising author five, maybe six years ago. God has a fast-forward button, you know, if it’s right, boom.

“You get beaten, you fall in love, you get married, now we have two beautiful daughters to add to my family. It feels really great.’

The Jurassic World actor also shares his 10-year-old son Jack with his ex-wife Anna Farris, who he was married to from 2009-2018.

“There was a point in my life when I was really struggling and felt really broken. For me, my own journey of finding a higher power and leaning on that and feeling like, “Please save me” and feeling saved,” Pratt shared.

And a little later meeting the woman of my dreams. It’s all about timing. There is a perfect plan for you. You must have faith.’

The Charlie’s Angels actress then asked him if he met his now-wife in a place of faith, to which he replied, “Yes, we met in a church.” I sat in the front row of the church.

“And you don’t really want to say, ‘Woah, who’s that?’ in the church. But I took a few looks and wondered, “Who is that? Anyway, what am I doing? Come on, I’m broken, help me. But who is that?”

He continued, “So it clicked. We didn’t start dating right away, but we met there and later we went out.”

The couple welcomed their first daughter Lyla in 2020, just a year after they got married, and their second daughter Eloise in 2022.

Last month, Katherine appeared on Drew’s show to talk about her book The Gift of Forgiveness, which came up during the interview with Chris.

The Scream actress said that when Katherine was on the show, “I bonded with her through her book on forgiveness, which I think is so powerful.”

The book “writes seven different stories and their own journeys of forgiveness, and there’s nothing in it that says you have to do it one way or another,” Pratt said.

“She just really watched people on their journeys of forgiveness, and it’s a fantastic book.”

He then joked, “And if I screw up, I say, ‘Hey, remember your book. Remember forgiveness is a gift, baby, so you should probably forgive me.'”

The Passengers actor made a guest appearance on the show as part of the press tour for his latest movie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which hits theaters on April 5.

Since being cast as the titular character, there has been some debate from fans as to whether he was the right choice to voice the iconic Italian video game character.

During an interview with Gizmodo which was released last week, Pratt spoke about the controversy over his casting.

He said he understood that the longtime fans of the Mario franchise were primarily interested in the integrity of the character.

“I totally get it, man. There is a passionate fan base, and I am one of the fans. I understand. Most of the time people don’t want something like that to get screwed up. They are precious about it. They are careful. And I’m thankful for that,” he said.

The Parks and Recreation alum then commented that he had gone out of his way to faithfully portray the Nintendo character while working on the feature film.

The artist said, “I care as much as anyone to make sure that doesn’t get screwed up.”
