Chris Pratt is facing backlash for a gushing tribute to his wife and ‘healthy daughter’ that social media users have branded ‘cringe and vile’.
He prattled on a bit too much.
Chris Pratt is being called “cringe and vile” for praising his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, for giving him a “healthy daughter” given that his son with ex Anna Faris, Jack, has suffered serious health issues over the years.
Pratt, 42, decided to write his wife a gushing early birthday tribute containing the controversial remark.
Beneath a photo of him and Schwarzenegger, 31, the Guardians Of The Galaxy actor wrote: “Guys. For real. Look how she’s looking at me! I mean. Find you somebody that looks at you like that!! You know!?”
He went on: “We met in church.
“She’s given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter, she chews so loudly that sometimes I put in my ear buds to drown it out, but that’s love!
“She helps me with everything. In return, periodically, I open a jar of pickles. That’s the trade.
“Her heart is pure and it belongs to me. My greatest treasure right next to my Ken Griffey Jr Upper Deck Rookie card. Which if you know, you know is saying a lot,” he added, referencing the Hall of Fame baseball player.
“It’s her birthday in about 6 weeks. So if I don’t get her anything, I’ll tell her to look back on this post. Love you honey,” Pratt concluded.
As was pointed out, Pratt’s now nine-year-old son, Jack, was born premature and had to undergo numerous operations as a result. He weighed just 3 pounds, 12 ounces at birth.
“I love Chris Pratt, but the ‘healthy daughter’ part made me wince,” one person tweeted in response to his message.
“Although he may not have meant it as an insult, it sort of came off that way. Imagine how that will make his son feel, if he ever reads it?”
Another more angrily chimed in, “Chris Pratt has a kid with Anna Farris [sic] who suffered a cerebral haemorrhage during birth and now has slight physical disabilities because of it. But he made sure to write ‘healthy daughter’ here. Chris Pratt is a d*ck.”
Others found the way he described his wife “disturbing” — accusing him of talking about Katherine as if she is his “possession” and calling the star “sexist”.
“It’s only cool if you’re looking at her the same man,” wrote one.
“I really don’t think this is as great of a post as you think it is,” commented another with a string of red flag emojis.
“This appears to be a hostage situation,” another wrote, while one more said: “What in the male audacity.”
Faris, 44, has spoken out about her son’s health issues in the past.
“When Jack was born two months early, it came as a huge shock. And suddenly, your world completely shifts,” the House Bunny star said on her podcast, Unqualified, in 2018, according to E! News.
“Jack had a few surgeries. He had a few hernia surgeries, he’s had a few eye surgeries, and he had a little heart issue as well.”
In 2014, Pratt, 42, also recognised his son’s early struggles at a March of Dimes Celebration of Babies.
“I made promises in that moment about what kind of dad I wanted to be and I just prayed that he’d live long enough that I could keep them,” the actor, who is very vocal about his faith, said the time.
“Our Jack went from a small, helpless little squirt to a strong, smart, happy, funny, beautiful boy who loves monster trucks and Daniel Tiger, and, believe it or not, loves vegetables. Broccoli and cherry tomatoes are his favourite foods.”
Pratt and Faris finalised their divorce in 2018 when Jack was six years old.
The Tomorrow War star then married Schwarzenegger in June 2019 and they welcomed their first child together — a baby girl named Lyla Maria — in August 2020.
Reps for Pratt and Faris did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
