Katherine Schwarzenegger Reveals What Daughter Eloise "Demands" From Chris Pratt

When it comes to his house, Chris Pratt’s toddler has full dominion.

The Jurassic World: Dominion actor and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s 2-year-old daughter Eloise recently caught him heading out and delayed his start time with some necessary morning snuggles.

Katherine captured the moment, writing in an Aug. 23 Instagram post, “When you have plans to go fast at 8, but your boss demands cuddles at 7:55.”

For his part the 45-year-old didn’t look like he minded his daughter’s demands one bit, holding her close in a sweet early morning embrace.

In addition to Eloise, Katherine, 34, and Chris also share daughter Lyla, 4, and are currently expecting baby No. 3, with the Guardians of the Galaxy star also dad to 12-year-old son Jack, whom he shares with ex-wife, Anna Faris.

Katherine confirmed her pregnancy news in late July and hasn’t been shy about showing off her growing baby bump ever since. This includes on Aug. 25,  when she posed with mom Maria Shriver during a family vacation, captioning the post, “Bumped our way to the east coast.”

And for Chris, the journey to becoming a dad of four has prompted him to think a lot about how parenting has changed since he was a kid.

"I think there's a new age of parenting," he told E! News in May. "I grew up, I did exactly what my parents said all the time. I never knew I could say 'no' to my parents. And now I'm a guy who's not super—didn't have a super healthy grip on his own emotions. So we're trying to raise them in a way that they feel comfortable expressing themselves."

He continued, "They still know the meaning of the word 'no' from their mom. When it comes from me, they don't seem to know what that means. And I don't really know what to do about it, but we'll get there."
