Personal Life
Lyla is still under the care of her parents; she isn’t romantically linked with anyone. She loves spending time indoors playing with her toys and parents. Pratt has disclosed that he always ensures that he’s shared a special time with his daughter before each day ends and that they spend most of their mornings on the balcony beside their fireplace. Moreover, she’s been spotted enjoying nature with her parents – on the fourth of July 2013, Pratt and Katherine went for a boat ride and enjoyed scenic views as seen on one of Pratt’s Instagram photos, which was captioned ‘4th of July done right.’ Chris has disclosed that Lyla shares a very special connection with her half-brother, Jack, whom he describes as a ‘really good big brother to his two half-sisters.’
Lyla’s parents met at a church, as Pratt disclosed in an interview in “The Drew Barrymore Show.” The duo was introduced to each other by her grandmother Maria Shriver, and they began dating shortly afterward. In early 2019, Pratt popped the question after dating for barely a year, and in June the duo walked the aisle; they’ve since welcomed two children together.
Rumors and Controversies
In November 2021, Lyla’s dad shared a post on Instagram paying Tribute to her mom’s family – in the post, he thanked Katherine for giving him ‘a gorgeous healthy firstborn daughter,’ a comment that critics and some of his fans found insensitive because his first son had been born prematurely, which resulted in several health issues in his early years. During a previous interview with “Men’s Health,’ Chris recalled how he was ‘bothered’ by the backlash, which even made him cry. He said, ‘A bunch of articles came out and said, ‘That’s so cringeworthy. I can’t believe Chris Pratt would thank her for a healthy daughter when his first child was born prematurely. That’s such a dig at his ex-wife.’ I’m like, … My son’s gonna read that one day. He’s 9. And it’s etched in digital stone. It really bothered me, dude. I cried.’
