In July, Prattteasedthe possibility of having more children with Schwarzenegger, telling E! News’Daily Popthat he would “love” to become a dad again.
“I’ll probably have to talk to Katherine about that,” he said, “but my plan is, let’s go.”
Pratt also toldDaily Popabout his “really beautiful” experience as a dad of two, explaining, “I think having a second child really emphasizes what was unique about your first child because when you have one kid, you just take for granted all their growth and development. You just assume all children are that way.”
