On Tuesday’s episode ofThe Drew Barrymore Show, theSuper Mario Bros. Movievoice actor revealed that he was “really struggling and felt really broken” right before he and Schwarzenegger entered each other’s lives.
“I met Katherine — now it’s been five, six years ago,” Pratt, 43, began. “God has a fast-forward button, you know. When it’s right — boom! — you’re hit. You fall in love, you get married. Now we havetwo beautiful daughtersto add to my family, and it feels really great.”
He then shared, “There was a moment in my life that I was really struggling and felt really broken.
“For me, [it was] my own journey finding a higher power and leaning on that and feeling like, ‘Please save me,’ and feeling saved. And then shortly later, [I met] the woman of my dreams.”
“It’s all about timing,” Pratt said. “There’s a perfect plan out there for you. And I think you have to have faith. The minute you have faith, it falls into place.”
“And you guys met in a place of faith?” hostDrew Barrymoreinquired.
“We met at a church,” responded Pratt. “I was in the front row of church — which is like, you kind of don’t want to be like, ‘Woah, who’s that?’ at church. You know what I mean?”
“But I was sneaking some glances and wondering, ‘Who is that? Anyway, what am I doing! Come on, I’m broken, help me. But who’s that?’ " he jokingly recalled. “So we kinda hit it off. And we didn’t start dating right away, but we met there and later on, ended up going out.”
“It was just there. It was like, ‘OK.’ It all made sense,” he continued. TheGuardians of the Galaxystar then compared the experience of falling in love with his wife to finding his missing puzzle piece.
“You know when you’re doing a puzzle, and there’s a piece, and you’re like, ‘I’m certain that’s the piece’ and then you jam it, and it looks like it should be the piece [but then] you’re like like, ‘Oh it’s that one,’ " he explained of connecting with Schwarzenegger. “It just fits together. You’re like, ‘Oh, it fits because it was the piece that was made to fit there.’ It felt like that.”
