Ford is the couple’s third child together. He joins sisters Lyla and Eloise. Chris has a son, Jack with ex-wife Anna Faris.

Katherine’s family also expressed excitement for the new arrival. Katherine’s mom, journalist, and former California First Lady Maria Shriver wrote in the comments section: ” He hit the parent jackpot! And of course the grandparent one too lol.”

She also added “Scorpio rules” and blue heart emojis. Katherine’s brother Patrick meanwhile commented with blue heart emojis.

In a separate post, Maria wrote: ” I’m so overjoyed by this news! I’m so overjoyed for @katherineschwarzenegger@prattprattpratt, Lyla, Eloise, and Jack! I’m so overjoyed that Ford has arrived healthy! I’m so humbled that I get to hold a baby at this time in my life, that I’m here for it. God bless, Ford and all the babies on our world. May we all work hard to make sure the world they are brought into is loving, kind, caring, and accepting of who they are.”

Who is the son named after?

It’s unclear if Ford was named after the truck, as some comments assume, but it’s possible he was named after Gerald Ford, the 38th president of the United States. Fitzgerald is the maiden name of Katherine’s great-grandmother, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy.

The couple has been private about their family life and would share photos without revealing their kids’ faces.

Katherine and Chris first met in 2018 through Katherine’s mom, Maria. In 2019, the couple married in California.

The two have since been parents to daughters Eloise and Lyla. Chris has starred in several blockbuster movies, such as Jurassic Park, Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy. He recently voiced Garfield on the big screen.

Katherine is a best-selling author and animal advocate. Some of her works include The Gift of Forgiveness and Good Night Sister.
