Schwarzenegger's posts fueled pregnancy speculation
Earlier on Friday, Schwarzenegger's family outing post subtly hinted at her pregnancy. "Things that make me happy: A gloomy morning followed by a barn visit," she captioned the photos.

Despite the suggestive post, neither she nor her husband Pratt has officially confirmed the news yet.
When Pratt and Schwarzenegger shared joy over expanding family
Pratt, the star of Guardians of the Galaxy, and Schwarzenegger, author of The Gift of Forgiveness, have openly expressed their delight over their growing family. In an interview with E! News, Pratt described his children as "sweet, polite, kind, joyous little angels" that he adores. He also shared insights into his parenting approach which encourages children to express themselves more freely than he was allowed to in his childhood.
Pratt discussed differences in raising boys and girls
In a separate interview, the Jurassic World actor candidly admitted that his daughters have him "wrapped around their finger." "I hate to make generalizations based on gender but, in my experience, girls are more emotional," he shared. Another significant distinction for Pratt as a girl dad versus a boy dad was that "they like to hear stories more than they like to wrestle."
Schwarzenegger found motherhood transformative, Pratt praised her
Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger has described her journey into motherhood as transformative. In a 2021 essay on her mother Maria Shriver's website, she wrote, "When I became a mother, I felt like everything in my life had led me right to that baby being put on my chest, and it was perfect." Pratt also praised Schwarzenegger's parenting skills in a Mother's Day tribute this year. He expressed his growing love for her as he witnessed her being a mom.
