“I just hope you don’t go into labor before you get home,” Schwarzenegger said.

“That would be great,” said Pratt, who previously revealed in his interview with co-star Millie Bobby Brown that the couple didn’t yet know the gender of the baby, although he had an intuition.

“I have a feeling,” he said Guardians of the Galaxy Actor. “I have an intuition, but I’m not going to say it now in case I’m wrong and that kid sees it.”

Schwarzenegger, the daughter of actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and journalist Maria Shriver, spoke last year about having more children. “I come from a big family, so I love the idea of ​​having lots of kids around me and having a big family,” she said US Weeklyand added that her famous mother was instrumental in helping her navigate parenthood.

“It’s all a balancing act. “I feel really lucky that I have a great role model in my mom, of course, and I can just see how she balances everything,” Schwarzenegger said. “Learning from her, being able to take things from her and, at the end of the day, just knowing that time with family is the most important time.”

Pratt next teams up with Marvel veterans Anthony and Joe Russo for the upcoming series The Electric State (released March 2025), a sci-fi action dramedy set after a robot uprising in the 1990s.
