I’ve been on Chris Pratt Engagement Watch for months. It was a pretty boring Engagement Watch, because anyone could put the pieces together that Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger were in it for the long haul. Just months into their relationship, they already seemed to be settling down. They’re both religious and family-oriented and she spends time with his son and frankly, I could already see the next twenty years of their life together.
Well, as it turns out, the timeline I predicted was dead-on. He must have proposed to her around Christmas or the New Year, and he chose to announce the engagement on his social media last night. What else did I predict? A summer wedding and a quick pregnancy afterwards. Truly, I think they’re a great match. There’s an age difference – he’s 39, she’s 29 – but other than that, they complement each other perfectly. I predict that she’ll become a lifestyle brand or something to do with moms or kids or cookbooks. She’ll happily be a Hollywood wife and attend all of his events too. They make so much sense together. Congrats to them!

Congratulations to them and yes, they seem to match one another.
Someone really wants some clout for that political career…
This, he will be going into politics
Wow, his marital bed hardly cooled before this relationships and engagement… Seems really quick to me.
I agree it was a short timeline, but honestly he seemed pretty mismatched with Anna Faris. And she moved on much more quickly, so I don’t think it’s insensitive that he’s settling down now.
The ink of the divorce papers hasn’t even dried
Agreed!
It seems quick but he strikes me as someone who gets serious quickly and loves being in a relationship. I don’t think this was a rebound thing.
Something similar happened with my brother…he and his then-girlfriend split in October 2016, and by October 2017 he was engaged to another woman.
They got married this past summer and they seem to be head-over-heels, and well suited too. At first I was surprised at how quickly it all happened, but my bro told me a story of how he knew like on their 4th or 5th date that she was the one. Added to the fact that he is also 10 years older than my SIL, he figured why wait?
Anna Faris had a new boyfriend a month after they announced their divorce. So is he remarrying quickly? Sure. But he wasn’t the first to move on.
Dating is one thing. But marriage and all the religion after divorce, while living in Hollywood, that’s over the top.
@Milla over the top according to who?
Milla, dating immideatelly to me is far worse. It means you are saying publically you are over the other person and it pretty much ends any change or reuniting that can still happen if break up is a month old. But when you do start dating you won’t decide this can’t be serious because of ex. And what has religion got to do with this? They were already religious beforehand as far as I know.
@Kendra I agree. ESPECIALLY to not only be dating soon after but have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Anna wasn’t “playing the field”. She had a monogamous boyfriend who she was vacationing with. I remember giving MAJOR side eye about that. Chris meeting someone nearly a year after they split and getting engaged nearly a year after that isn’t a bad or shady thing to me.
Oh, I side-eyed Anna, too. But I’ll give her this much: she wasn’t declaring religious beliefs while doing it.
@YesImHere I dont quite get what that has to do with what we are discussing. Chris waited a good six months before he started publicly dating. I dont see anything wrong with that – regardless of religious beliefs. Heo a conservative Christian guy – it’s not a shocker that he would want to settle down again and considering his age that he would probably do it quickly.
Well i was expressing my opinion. So over the top imo. I am not saying anna is a good person or poor ex. I stopped liking them long time ago.
It is why some Christians do. they are both “super” Christian so there you go.
Right?? He’s evangelical and she’s Catholic. I can’t work my head around how they justify this. *shrugs* None of my business, either. Doesn’t affect my life one bit.
Yeah….I don’t see how that religious combo is gonna work. Someone will end up converting, because those two belief systems, although similar, are NOT the same. If they were “non-practicing” okay, but they seem active soo…
Well it worked out pretty well for Caroline Kennedy. I think her hubby is Jewish but they raised their children Catholic (must be a Kennedy mandate).
By the time, folks announce a split or divorce, their relationship has often been dying for months if not years, so why keep them from having fun and meeting new people?
Men often jump into relationships soon after a split or the death of their wife. Five years out from our split (four years from the divorce), my ex has been married three years and has an 18 month old child. Meanwhile I’ve had a 2.5 year relationship, a year plus of dating, and met Mr. Long Term six months ago.
I dont see much issue with it if its working. Really I am becoming more and more a believer in “some people bring out the best/worst/blah in you”– meaning, oen relationship may take forever and be “typical” and another can be a rollercoaster and in each of those, you yourself will in fact be a very different person. Fate/karma/chemistry are not just imaginary 😉 People have impacts on each other, in both vividly positive and vividly negative ways.
Why the rush?
Is what I would usually think but whatever.
As long as they are happy.
Maybe they want kids close to the age of his son.
Maybe they want to have sex.
LOL
What living “Boldly in faith” means?
They dare to be white christians. Bold!
LOL
That’s what I was thinking. Life must be hard for them. LOL
So edgy
Seriously. Give me a break. There’s nothing “bold” about being the very definition of the status quo.
😂😂😂
Being openly Christian isn’t really status quo these days. Expecially in Hollywood. And what being white has got to do with this? Ton of black people expecially I know are very Christian.
@ Kendra
Amazing Hollywood secret: Hollywood isn’t more or less religious than any other community in America. People in LA identify as Christian at the same rate as any other large metropolitan area, and about the same number of people claim to go to church at least once a month. It is true that, overall, church attendance is down and we are as a society becoming less religious, so younger Hollywood folks are less likely to go to church than older ones. But the idea that people in Hollywood are less religious/Christian than anywhere else is false. Religious attendance is breaking on generational lines, not socio-economic, race, gender, or political ones. And in LA, particularly, it is very trendy/socially beneficial to be seen at church/temple. Every denomination and religion has their hot spot house of worship, and just think of the number of celebrities regularly papped going to church, including Jennifer Garner and the Kardashians. Chris Pratt isn’t the only one with open affiliations.
Anyway being “openly Christian” is absolutely still the status quo as we are still predominately an observant Christian country. It is beginning a decline, though, as we advance as a society, which is the natural progression of technological advancement. Every major period of discovery/advancement is followed by a splitting/reducing of religious power in the political state. That’s all that is happening to religion in the public sphere now. It is subsuming under ever greater social and scientific advancement.
Omg! QueenB! Love this.
@kendra, she prob said white Christians cause they’re white.
My guess? We feel really guilty about having sex while not being married so, quick here’s a ring! Be bold!
😁 Sorry not sorry.
They do make sense. I have a friend who is similarly religious, got divorced, and could not get remarried and pregnant fast enough. And in that case, so far so….fine. 😬 Religious or not you can’t force compatibility. So hopefully they’re sure or the next 20 years as you say could be very long!
I often wondered if Chris got religious while he was married to Anna and she tried to give him his space to experience that but ultimately their value systems were just no longer aligned.
right? these sanctimonious twits can have each other.
Yeah, that line made me cringe.
Sanctimonious twits?? When exactly did they start pushing their religious views on YOU or anyone and say they’re morally superior? Yes I’m well aware of his history with pets and dude bro outlook on movies but lumping them together and calling them sanctimonious because they’re religious?? Again it’s cool if you don’t believe in what they believe in but hating on them because of it?? I’m sure there’s a term for that too.
@JB, didn’t he and his brother/dad build a ginormous cross you could see from the road at some point? That would be sort of sanctimonious.
I knew that CP is a religious zealot, but the Schwarzeneggers never seemed like very religious (with Arnold groping women and having a child with the maid and all that). But then again, I don’t exactly follow them
@JB as you must know – evangelical christians think anyone who is a different religion need to be saved or they are going to hell. it is their mission to convert others to their version of christianity to save their souls through witnessing. so – yes – i think they are sanctimonious. they go to hillsong church which is basically a cult – so not only are they sanctimonious – they are feeble minded. i disagree on moral grounds to people who practice religion this manner – so you can call me whatever you’d like.
“Sanctimonious twits”? I wonder if you’d say that if they were a faith-filled Muslim couple excited to share their faith on social media.
Agree. Go forth and Duggar!!!
Apeggi – the Schwarzeneggers are “Kennedy Catholics” — practicing but not uber-devout. Chris Pratt seems to be leaning towards Duggar-lite territory.
This is going to get interesting…
Evangelicals tend to not like Catholics (as a whole, not individually) and some don’t even consider Catholics real Christians. I’m not saying Chris is that, but I never got the impression that the Schwarzenegger’s were super religious either.
I thought Maria Shriver’s family was Catholic? Oh well, Chris ‘I Give Old Cats Away on the Internet’ Pratt is getting Arnold for a FIL. Chris has political ambitions.
Uh, Catholics ARE Christians…the original Christians. The word catholic just means universal. The Protestant Reformation didn’t happen until the 11th century. Evangelical Protestantism, which is what people often refer to when they say “Christian” (especially when used as a slur), didn’t exist until the 18th century.
@Imeanreally ~ Thank you! I am sick of the whole idea that Catholics aren’t Christian. Your explanation was perfect. well done!
@Imeanreally and @snappyfish It’s great that you pointed this out (I never cease being amazed at how many people do need to be reminded of this in 2019), but @H didn’t say Catholics aren’t Christian. He/she simply pointed out that Katherine S is from a Catholic family (her dad is also of the Catholic faith). H was likely alluding to the fact that Chris is divorced.
@snappyfish and imeanreally, of course catholics are christians! But many non-denominationals christians, Southern Baptists and other American christian cults seem to think that catholics are devil worshipers (because of the Pope, the Saints, the importance of Mary and, well, the fact that the catholic church has been messy at times). There’s a reason why the election of JFK was such a big deal and no other catholic was ever elected since (Kerry was the next catholic to run). I know it sounds ridiculous (because it absolutely is), but that’s why it seems odd that CP would get with a catholic girl, especially since she’s not from a very religious family (aside from the cult of the Kennedy name, of course!). I guess she’s converting.
I grew up Catholic in a neighborhood where most people were Catholic, AME or Jewish. I didn’t even really meet anyone who was a fundie or evangelical until college. Many hardcore ones do not consider Catholics real Christians. Some of the reasons I was given were that Catholics worship the Virgin Mary and that Catholics drink wine at mass. Some people would also try to convert me to their church. I’m agnostic now, but I assume this is still going on. Didn’t one of the Duggar husbands go on anti-Catholic rants?
I am well aware Catholics are Christian. What I was pointing out is that the Kennedys and Shrivers are known to be practicing Catholics, which is vastly different than Evangelical Christians, which Pratt seems to be.
My older sister is an Evangelical and she considers Catholics…the devil. Her church considers the pope like Satan and that Catholics are going to hell, along with the rest of us non-believers.
I certainly don’t believe that, but I’m not religious at all. However, I can’t see a Catholic and an Evangelical marrying unless one of them converts. As someone else pointed out, Pratt is divorced, so that proves is all sorts of problems for Katherine unless that marriage is annulled.
They’re in the Hillsong cult. That’s what it means.
Yes! I’ve been obsessing over this all day! I want to talk about this Hillsong Cult more! It all seems so sketchy. I think everyone can tell it feels “off.” I think Hillsong is at the center of all this weirdness….
Living out your faith in public for others to see and following the word. If they were truly going all out- thing is if that was really true, they would ell their possessions and give all of their money to the poor as Jesus instructed. Jesus said some crazy stuff.
What does living boldly in faith mean? I think it means practicing your beliefs despite all the snide remarks and ridicule like in this thread. Man, I can not believe what I’m reading. Since when is it ok to attack someone’s religion—-their beliefs, their dress, their customs, their diet, their holidays. What the hell? I can’t believe I’m reading this.
Would agree with you, except their “church” Hillsong is a cult, not a religion.
The “spiritual gangsta” thing needs to stop.
I find it so moronic.
I thought it DID stop. Why is she still doing it?
Agreed, also I hate those “Mom Life, Coffee and Gangsta Rap” t-shirts on Etsy. Please stop
Oh no that’s a thing? Thank God my mom was never the kind to wear message shirts.
Mom Life-lol. You aren’t special Felicia because you stay at home & have kids. My FB is full of mommies constantly talking about their hard life & how amazing they are, prideful & arrogant IMO. As single person without kids, sometimes wish a movement would start where we post about out “amazing” lives on mommies spaces.
Ugh those mom shirts are the worst. I see people wear them at the gym – the latest being “momma bear” or something to that effect. I’m a mom but these shirts bug the cr$p out of me.
Target is ground zero for these women. I call them the 30-something Becky Brigade…and they WILL mow your ass down with their carts. I try and avoid Target for this reason.
Can I ask one of you for advice? I’m a SAHM (it makes a lot of sense though it’s a financial sacrifice.) I hate Mommy blogging, spend zero time talking about my ‘lifestyle.’ But people, nice smart people too! keep giving me mommy-message shirts. They horrify me. Is there a polite way to signal that I don’t want our home or family to be a brand? Or am I doomed to hide them and let the crowd think I too am a basic becky, in order not to offend?
Because I’d really love a gentle way to convince people the Mommy-branding phenomenon is not cool.
@Annie my guess is that these people for whatever reason think SAHM’s need empowerment and that wearing “mommy” brand t-shirts will give them that little boost that they need… I don’t think there really is a polite way to tell them you don’t like or want this well-intentioned gift. In your place I would just take it, say thanks, put it in the pile I’m going to drop off at the thrift store or give it to another mom that DOES like that kind of thing.
I have a friend on Facebook who is a stay at home mom of twins. That’s great, I wish her the best. But according to her, twins mean she is twice the mom that single baby moms are, because it’s so much harder (I’m sure it is difficult, but it’s very shaming of single baby moms and of circumstances she knows nothing about), and being a stay at home is so much harder than being a working mom, and being a twin stay at home mom means she’s flipping Jesus… It just comes across as so superior.
Hmmm guess you guys would hate me. I’m a SAHM (for the most part) I wear mommy shirts and I drink coffee and go to Target.
Eh about the shirts. I thought the gangsta mom shirt was cute because I do all those things. Like I grew up on gangsta music (listen to Tupac with my son in the car), drink coffee and a FTM. But then I saw it was marketing towards bland white women who barely know or listen to rap….it was disingenuous. I want a momma bear shirt because that’s what I am. Just like I love my Melanin Kisses shirt and brains, thighs, & smart shirt. It’s just a way to spruce up my wardrobe, who knew people were out there being Deddie Downers over it and poo pooing.
As a working mom, I absolutely believe being a SAHM is ten times harder. If they want to wear stupid t-shirts and shop Target while sipping their Starbucks… why do you care, exactly?
My cousin, who is a horrible gift giver, got me a “If Mama ain’t happy, no one is happy” shirt. Yes I wear it to the gym. I wear my leggings in accidentally spilled bleach on. If people are wearing these shirts outside of the gym, I’d side eye. But they could be like me at the gym, it was serious mental effort to get there, I’m not even sure my socks match but let’s go.
No kidding.
LOL so true!
I mean they do make sense together as overprivilieged religious wingnuts. But its not like we need more of that.
Agreed!
Absolutely.
What happened to the secular doctrine of Tolerance?
@YesImHere
Totally tolerant of people’s belief systems… But I think people are responding to the Icky feeling they are giving out, due to their connection to a known celebrity mega church that has some murky, cult rumors swirling around it like the early days of scientology.
Best wishes to the happy couple. I got engaged 9 months after dating and got married 3 months later. I can relate!
Best of luck. Imagine having AHNOLD as your father in law. I bet Pratt loved his movies as a kid.
Exactly. I ain’t sayin’ he’s a gold digger, but he seems to marry well.
Don’t forget the Kennedy clan! There are so many of them!
Pratt and Arnold have being hardcore republicans in common though.
To be fair Arnold is a moderate Republican who believes in climate change and has more liberal views on abortion and homosexual rights than pretty much any Republican in congress today.
how anyone would want to date, let alone marry, the Worst Chris is beyond me…but congrats !
Same. I find him repulsive. But yes, congrats, etc.
I find him utterly repulsive. Dumping a cat on Twitter? He’s also the dumbest Chris in my opinion.
Right? Picking the best Chris may be difficult, but the worse Chris? Easily Pratt. I personally vacillate between Pine and Evans as the best. It used to be an easy Pine, but following Evans on Twitter…man I love his tweets.
Chris Pine is the best Chris. Not difficult.
Evans is my favorite. Looks like Betty and I won’t have to fight 😉
Same. He is the worse Chris. I flip flop between Pine and Evans too. And with Hemsworth showing his comedic chops more and more, he is climbing. Basically the three other Chris’s are leaving Pratt in the dust.
y’all are crazy. Thor is so clearly the best Chris, followed up by Pine and then Evans.
Though Pine is a very close second…
1. Pine
2. Evans
3. Hems
…Pratt
Agree. I can’t stand him. He makes my skin crawl for some reason.
Chris Elliott is the best Chris. obviously.
No, you’re all wrong. MY Chris is the best Chris. 😊
1000% yes.
I must admit I like him onscreen. I’m a big Marvel fan and think he’s fantastic as StarLord (I love the whole GOTG cast), and he was good on Parks & Rec as well. But on a personal level (his social media) he comes across as a bit too silly for me. I don’t have any problem whatsoever with his religious beliefs, but posting about his “Bible fast” is just silly to me. It seems disingenuous, like he’s trying to prove something. Why do we need to know the ins and outs of his faith practices every day?
amen, sister. he is so much the “dude bro” that I avoided at all costs in HS, college and early dating life.
Congrats !!
Are there any celebrity children that don’t want to be celebrities themselves? You have everything at your fingertips and instead you just want to be a model, lifestyle guru, actress? Ugh, the education I would get, the traveling I would do 😭 I would get private lessons for learning languages and playing instruments as well.
I think a lot of rich people, especially women, feel guilty if they don’t have “real” jobs, and so have these jobs which seem completely useless or even fake. Like that they can say at lunch they are exhausted by their “projects”. Like the people who do bullet journals so intricate that you wonder if they are CEOs and you realize they calligraphy “Clean laundry cupboard” to give themselves some sense of urgency.
In her case, not sure she’s just about celebrity as her family is much more famous than he is (she is also a Kennedy, along with Schwarzenegger$. IIRC Katherine is at least a college grad and imagine with Maria Shriver as her mom she’s well travelled/educated and been exposed to a lot.
I agree with this. I don’t follow her or anything, but I don’t see her putting herself out there in quite the same way as some of the others. With Maria and Arnold as parents, I expect she has been exposed to a decent amount in the world.
But I also won’t be surprised if she is soon out there as a more wholesome (and likely less interesting) Goop.
Agreed, I never saw anything about her until she started dating Chris. But I too suspect that will change.
It’s not uncommon for children to follow in similar footsteps to their parents’ career, but when it’s showbiz, it just seems more noticeable. There are problem many children of celebs who have non-public careers, but we just don’t hear about them much.
Anna started a relationship right off the bat and he has only had kind words for her and they seem to be co-parenting well. While it’s a little to “Jesus Saves All” for me (and I am a religious person) I’m happy he has found someone that seems well matched for him. Different strokes for different folks, and I wish them the best.
I wonder if she’s as into guns and shooting animals as he is?
But yes, “live boldly in faith” or whatever. *snort*
So, that’s what I came here to say….Katherine has actually very publicly done work for the ASPCA and is an open supporter of animal adoption, so I’m really curious as to how these two are actually a match.
+1 He says he feels closer to God when he hunts.
What on earth is that slogan on her shirt – spiritual gangsta? wtf? Is that what right wing Christians call themselves to look ‘cool?’
It’s a yoga athleisure brand.
I think you nailed it. She’s exactly what he needs for this next stage of his career. She’s clearly going to be available to be “the wife.” Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but it’s just the truth.
Yup absolutely. He and Anna had a lot of issues from his skyrocketing fame as she used to be the more successful of the two. With Katherine this won’t be an issue. She can travel to where he films and support him during promotions.
I love God and pray everyday, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been a bible banger. Hope it works out for them.
It’s quick but I am also of the mind that it doesn’t take 7+ years for someone to know whether they want to marry you. Good luck to them.
I agree. At a certain stage of life, it’s possible to know quickly that someone shares your life vision and that your relationship has the potential to outlast the initial stages of euphoria.
This seems so quick! I’m sure they’ve bonded over their religious beliefs. Maybe they are rushing to get engaged and married so they can lay together in the biblical sense?
I had no idea about Pratt’s religious stuff. Is Ana Faris equally as devout or was this a post-divorce revelation.
I think he’s always been that way but it’s been much more pronounced in the past year or so.
Anna is not this religious (if any at all). Chris became this way after his son was born premature.
Nope and bet it was a big part of their break up.
I think he got super religious after the premature birth of their son and his subsequent health problems. That may have been a huge divide for Chris and Anna.
My husband and I have a daughter that was born prematurely and suffers from life-long, life-threatening health problems. Luckily, my husband and I are in the same page as far as religion goes-God (any god) does not exist and has no hand in our lives. If Chris found positivity and inspiration to get through what happened with his son then that’s great but if a spouse isn’t on the same page that can be detrimental to a marriage.
I have an awful feeling that in a few years time he will run for president and win. I am feeling very pessimistic this morning. But congrats, or whatever.
Oh geez. Not only is he the worst Chris, he’s the worst Chris for POTUS. Not that we need anyone else from Hollywood in that office any time soon.
@zapp branigan – YUP
Well said. This totally makes sense. But I’m, didn’t he just divorce Anna like last year or something? Isn’t this really really REALLY fast?
they announced their split in 2017 and anna was seeing someone by october of that year so no, it’s been more than a year.
i think their divorce was only finalized recently but they’ve been done a while now.
I think in Hollywood people might hide their relationships issues to the last to avoid bad publicity and rumor so often couples have checked out of the relationship long before the divorce is even filed. Or people cheat. But I have not followed Faris and Pratt and who knows anything in the end.
They seem like a great match to me.
After divorcing an actress who didn’t seem all that stable, I’m not surprised he’d be attracted to someone who seems more calm and religious. She is famous bc of her family and seems comfortable with it, but doesn’t seem to be overly seeking attention.
As far as her interest in him, it seems like a similar dynamic that maybe her parents had… the educated, privileged, well-mannered woman with the famous, “manly”, funny actor.
Wait, maybe that should be concerning, but for some reason it’s not. Maybe because they seem like nice people?
I hate having to defend Chris Pratt because I find him annoying and the least interesting of all the Chrises. But – I don’t see any issue with the timeline for him and Katherine getting married. I am of the mindset that if you find someone who you are compatible with and who you love and you are both in good places emotionally, financially, etc then why wait? Life is short. We never know what tomorrow holds and the older I get the more this is driven home for me. Neither one of them are kids. They are both adults who seem committed to one another.
“I predict that she’ll become a lifestyle brand or something to do with moms or kids or cookbooks.” I LOL’d at this. She absolutely will become that person.
Because he’s so religious and traditional or whatever, it seems like he needs someone who will play supportive wife/stay-at-home mom. Anna has a career and her own successes. I think Katherine will fit the image he wants for his family.
Katherine has already waded into the lifestyle brand waters, she wrote at least one book years ago about self-esteem for young women. I definitely agree she’s going to try to develop some kind of faith based lifestyle brand now.
If I’m being honest, religion can equal crazy guilt for ‘young’ adults having sex and living together so he probably slipped a ring on it not for those reason, but you know it made them feel better. They seem equally paired! I bet Chris is freaking out that Arnold is going to be his FIL! He’s future kids grandpa will be the OG muscle man/movie star/turned governor! For guys Chris’s age…Arnold is a dream to meet let along be related to. Blah blah. Arnold is not my cup of tea for the cheating on his wife with someone she trusted who worked in their home, and neglecting the child he had with the maid(not the kids fault) so yeah, not my favorite person. Congrats ‘kids’! LOL
Mr. Penguen had a car that used to belong to her. Automotive six degrees of separation?
That’s all I got.
Congrats to them.
Maria Shriver must be thrilled as she’s been crazed about her children getting married.
Some Kennedy gossip – Maria is close with her cousin Caroline Kennedy and it has irked her that Caroline’s 2 daughters are engaged /married, while her similar aged daughters weren’t. Same with that other Kennedy cousin, Sydney Lawford, who ‘s Maria’s age and already a grandmother.
Don’t underestimate family competition.👀👀
I guess this pressure only applies to the daughters of the family?
Greenmonster, in terms of Caroline, her son is the youngest (only 25). Katherine is also Maria’s oldest. But is the competition between the women of the family? Maybe this particular one, as the three cousins were close in age and yes, one thing that ant book or documentary about the Kennedys will tell you is that they are all competitive.
Read any nonfiction book on the Kennedy’s the whole family is obsessed with passing on the name & furthering the line. So not surprised especially since they have had a lot of unexpected tragedies in the family.
A couple of things. Caroline’s youngest daughter Tatiana is definitely married. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/10/fashion/weddings/tatiana-schlossberg-george-moran.html. I’m pretty sure those her oldest daughter Rose is not married those. Their cousin Sydney Lawford has sons that are married. I’m not really sure that she’s a grandmother yet. Maria’s brother Tim Shriver has a grandson those.
I read Maria introduced Katherine to Chris.
I read somewhere that he belongs to the same church as Justin Bieber and they really push couples to get married there. It would explain why they got engaged so quickly.
Yep, they’re in the cult.
I read this morning she’s got 3 books already! The first published when she was 20, so that prediction will be spot on.
Chris is really marrying Arnold. I can’t believe this isn’t more than a career move, sorry.
Having Arnold as a FIL will certainly be a benefit but I do think she’s just the type of woman he was looking for – churchy, into family, home life, etc. someone who would build their life around HIS.
Pregnancy announcement coming in 3, 2, 1…..
Calling it now that they’ll marry by summer and there’ll be a pregnancy announcement by the end of the year.
And I don’t know why people are dragging him for “moving on too quickly” when Anna had a new boyfriend only a few months after they separated.
How will the very Catholic extended Kennedy family feel about Katherine marrying into the Hillsong situation?
And Arnold! People forget that Arnold is also of Catholic stock. Is Chris into that Hillsong group too???
If the Catholic side of the family has still got some influence the children will be baptized and raised Catholic… that has always been the main point for the the Church, the next generation.
I’m side eyeing a woman of 29 with no profession and no career plans beside being somebody’s wife, but congrats, I guess.
I’m sure they both got what they wished for.
I’m baffled by this comment. Are you suggesting that only women who have professions and career plans should get married. For some women being a wife and mother is their plan – and there is nothing wrong with that. To each their own. Also, don’t forget about women who don’t have the same choices and options that those of us in the West might have; their only option may be to become someone’s wife and then a mother.
I have no problems with this union. Two bland people are getting married. I’m surprised they are inspiring so many feelings in people considering that both are pretty basic.
And I’m totally late to the party, but Hemsworth is the best Chris 🙂 followed by Pine, Evans, Messina, and then Noth. Other Chris’s need not apply. (Sadly I had to remove Rock due to his shenanigans)
Well, knowing some of the extended Kennedy family shenanigans I get the feeling they are not strict fundamentalists about their religion.
And look at Caroline Kennedy, she married a man of another faith (Ed Schlossberg is Jewish).
But Ed Schlossberg was converted to Catholicism before his marriage with Caroline Kennedy
I can’t believe some of the comments. Anna has shown she didn’t deal with the separation well, she might have been “dating” soon after just to try to feel better about the situation, or to prove to the world that she was not as bad as she clearly is.
If he moved on so fast it’s because he was in a hurry to marry the new girlfriend, not because of Anna.
Chris is a horrible person and same as other Hollywood “stars” he’s going to crash and burn one day, his ex-wife should be happy she won’t have to deal with that.
Wasn’t Anna the one who humiliated her ex husband in her book, revealing how everyone thought he was a loser and she should hook up with Chris?
Ohhhh you bring up a good point. I had forgotten that Anna got together with Chris while still married to her first husband.
Aren, I feel you have really misread the situation, not the other way around. Anna was in a serious relationship before this relationship even started. They were over. They both moved on… as people do.
They’re so “faith-filled” that they dated while he was still married, with no shame or embarrassment or sense of irony, either. I know I sound judgey, but I wouldn’t be able to do it. Personally. I would be deeply embarrassed. I wouldn’t be able to be vocal about religion while dating a married man, no matter that the marriage had broken down. If I couldn’t resist him long enough for the ink to dry on the divorce papers, I would at least keep my mouth shut about my “faith-filled” ways.
It genuinely suprises me that Chris Pratt is so religious. Well, congrats to him.
They’re so perfect for each other. Anna clearly got very envious of Pratt’s career taking off while she was stuck in a crappy sitcom. Anna is insanelyyy forgettable too. Unlike her and Chris’s relationship, his new one won’t be a competition because Katherine is perfectly fine being the Hollywood Wife. This is amazing to watch.
Clearly? Do you have inside information? Because if the rumors are to be believed, he was a jerk with Ana in the last few years of their marriage, after he became famous.
Yes, her crappy sitcom that is consistently number one in its time slot and in which she co-stars with Oscar winner Allison Janney. She is truly a failure. /s
I get really bad vibes about him as a partner. I wish KS well and hope she has plenty of therapists on speed dial.
everyone said that Uber-Catholics Andrew Cuomo & Kerry Kennedy was a match made in heaven.
And look how that turned out. I think the marriage went kaput after the news that she had an affair with the horse trainer came out. He’s now with Ms. Tablescape, Sandra Lee.
I truly don’t understand Chris Pratt’s appeal. He doesn’t seem intelligent or interesting in any way to me. I also don’t find him attractive.
I’m not a religious person, but I believe that people have every right to believe whatever they like, as long as they are NOT spewing hatred and are NOT hurting anybody with their words or actions.
Although I don’t appreciate when someone is pushing their religious agenda, it seems fake and I usually don’t trust them.
Chris seems hell bent on advertising his religion, it’s a 1000 % turn off for me.
It makes me sad that women like Katherine S. with all the privileges she got is not doing something worthwhile like being a teacher or nurse or a social worker or doctor or start her own charity and use her name and connections to benefit the less fortunate in the world.
Seems wasteful to me, it’s nice that she wrote a couple of books, but with her name and everything that goes with it…anyways I wish them all the best.
Their engagement is pretty quick, but she is 29 and he is 39, so they are not very young to make such a big commitment.
And to be fair, Anna Farris had a serious boyfriend really fast after the break up of her marriage.
It’s not like she was dating around for a while.
I spent 10 minutes on her IG account several years ago and it occurred to me that KS likes the spotlight or at least being in the media. She doesn’t seem the type to enjoy a humble profession.
He was so chubby in Infinity War. Not attractive and not a good actor.
i think its funny form all the varied comments none are about the 10 year age difference which is all anyone talked about with the Jonas brother and Priyanka
Good point
I think it was a bit of sexism tossed with with the fact the Jonas brothers all look 12.
Good for them but I can’t ever like this guy because of his attitude towards hunting. Eliza Dushku is the same.
