Chris Pratt is hopeful that his steadfast faith will be his family’s legacy.
“I’m, for the most part, always gonna be a man of faith,” Pratt, 47, told Fox News Digital in an interview published Thursday, October 22. “My faith is how I start my day, it’s how I end my day. It’s the most important thing that I’ll be able to pass on to my kids.”
The Terminal List star is a father of four, sharing son Jack, 14, with ex-wife Anna Faris and three younger children with wife Katherine Schwarzenegger. (Pratt and Schwarzenegger, 36, are parents of daughters Lyla, 6, and Eloise, 4, as well as son Ford, 23 months.)
“It’s an incredible blessing to be a father. It’s also a lot of hard work,” Pratt acknowledged to the outlet. “I want to do my best. I basically want to get right everything my dad got right and get right everything my dad got wrong. And I’m sure I’ll screw up both, you know?”
Pratt previously revealed that he turned to religion after Jack was born prematurely in 2012.
“When my son Jack was fighting for his life, I found myself back on my knees, pleading to God for a miracle,” Pratt wrote in an essay published via his mother-in-law Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper in December 2025. “I promised that if Jack survived, I would devote my life to sharing God’s message. This time I meant it.”
Pratt and Jack’s solid belief in religion, however, has admittedly caused friction with Faris, 49.
“I didn’t grow up with religion. He’s asked me to accept Jesus Christ,” the Overboard actress said on the “Dear Chelsea” podcast in August. “I told him that I would do anything for him, including this, but it’s still going to take a whole lot of long conversations.”
Faris, who described Jack as emotionally “solid as a tugboat,” has since “tried to challenge him” on certain ideas.
“I’m like, ‘Do you think it’s a luxury that you get to be pro-life? Do you think that’s kind of a luxury?’ He’s like, ‘Maybe,’” she said of Jack’s stance on reproductive rights. “Or I’ll say, ‘So what do you think of this megapastor that’s kind of a grifter? What do you think?’ He’s like, ‘Oh, megapastors are the worst.’ So it’s like, ‘OK, we’re getting there.’”
Faris continued at the time, “I’m appreciative that he’s examining religion the way he is in terms of recognizing hypocrisy, starting to recognize hypocrisy, and I’m appreciative that we can have these long conversations.”
