I Kept One Promise to My Wife for 10 Years – Until One Bouquet Revealed the Secret She Took with Her
May 08, 2026


Red, white and blue were the colors of the day in Montecito this weekend. Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger brought the whole family out to celebrate America's 250th birthday in style.
Chris Pratt was in a patriotic mood over the weekend, stepping out with wife Katherine Schwarzenegger and their three children — Lyla, 5, Eloise, 4, and Ford, 1 — for a Fourth of July parade in Montecito.

The outing doubled as a celebration of America's 250th anniversary, and the family made sure to mark the occasion alongside a few extended relatives.
Joining the festivities were several members of Katherine's family, including her mother, Maria Shriver, her brother Patrick Schwarzenegger, and his wife, model Abby Champion.
The extended group appeared to coordinate their looks, blending into the red-white-and-blue spirit of the crowd around them. Pratt kept his outfit relaxed for the occasion, sporting a heather-gray T-shirt with a subtle American flag graphic across the chest.
He paired the top with navy athletic shorts, black sneakers, a black baseball cap, and dark sunglasses, rounding things off with a smartwatch on his wrist.
Walking at his side, one of his daughters wore a red-and-white striped dress layered over pink leggings, along with a pair of light-colored sneakers. She held a small American flag in one hand while gripping her father's hand with the other, her blonde locks swept back into a small ponytail.
Schwarzenegger similarly opted for a casual ensemble, throwing a red bandana-print jacket over a white graphic tee. She finished the look with fitted blue denim, white sneakers accented in black, and dark sunglasses, wearing her brunette hair down.

Her older daughter sported a white star-print skirt over pink leggings, paired with a white top featuring a small flag graphic and a pair of light purple sneakers.
The youngest of the bunch, perched on her mother's hip, wore a cream sweater adorned with a flag emblem, light-wash denim, and tan sandals.
Paparazzi caught the family's outing, but Katherine also gave fans a glimpse of the holiday weekend herself, sharing photos to Instagram on Monday, July 6. "All the red, white and blue for the 4th!" she captioned the post.
The festive outing arrived just weeks after Pratt's ex-wife, Anna Faris, opened up about their split, which was finalized eight years ago following an eight-year marriage. Faris reflected candidly on how she navigated the aftermath under intense public scrutiny.
"I was feeling sad. Sad. I do feel like I had enough gumption, enough of a core, and I have tried to be careful about how much Hollywood infiltrates, but now I've been on a spectrum of fame for 26 years, so I would be naïve to think that it hasn't shaped who I am at this point," she began.

"But, [expletive]. The scrutiny. I'm lucky that at that time I had my podcast ["Unqualified"]. That goes back to the talk radio. I wanted, like, four people to listen and to build my own secret community. I wanted an avenue outside of Hollywood as a way to connect with people," she said.
Faris also revealed an unusual coping mechanism from that period: turning ski lift rides with total strangers into rapid, meaningful exchanges. She would ask deeply personal questions, like when someone first fell in love, while making it clear they were free to share as much or as little as they wanted.

"I've had a constant desire to connect with people. I didn't disclose a lot on the podcast, but I always felt like I could if I needed to. The podcast helped me a lot during that time," she shared.
Like Pratt, Faris — who shares son Jack with the actor — has since found love again. She married cinematographer Michael Barrett, 56, in 2021.
