Chris Pratt is reportedly dating Katherine Schwarzenegger, daughter of Arnold. The two have been photographed together since June. The gang, plus Arnold’s girlfriend, Heather Milligan, all had breakfast at Santa Monica’s Fairmont Miramar Hotel Fig restaurant. One of People’s sources said they were a “lively bunch.” Another said, “A lot of laughter and storytelling. Arnold seemed very pleased to spend time with Chris. It was obvious that they got along and enjoyed getting to know each other. They had eggs, breakfast meats, and fruit. Chris settled the check.”
Why shouldn’t they enjoy each other’s company immensely? They’re both action stars with conservative fans and large shoulders. It’s unclear what Pratt’s political beliefs are—he’s talked about wanting to “help bridge” the gap in politics, and not feeling “represented by either side,” be it red or blue. But he’s never said publicly, “Hey, as a Republican, I believe in tax cuts for the rich,” while accepting the Teen Choice Award or something. And Arnold, too, was a Republican governor of California, but anti-Trump, so there’s a bit of “don’t put me in your little box” attitude there, too. They both do, however, have objectively large shoulders.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter what their political leanings are in this scenario. It’s just that you look at them and compare notes on soon-to-be, maybe in-laws we’ve seen operating out there in the wild, and conclude that this seems like a dream scenario for both of them. Arnold gets an action-star son; Pratt gets a legend and kindergarten-cop dad. Katherine is there, too. Pratt and Anna Faris’s marriage was dissolved last week, via private judge, and custody for the their son was settled (flexible joint custody depending on their schedules, per court documents)—so that is resolved, at least formally. There are rumors that an engagement is around the corner for Pratt and Katherine, but for now, they’re just a couple of kids on a double date with dad. It seems great! Thanksgiving is going to be nice for them.
