In an interview with Extra, Katherine revealed that, instead of opting for the typical dinner or movie, she took Chris to a barn the first time they went out. “I took him to the barn on the first date,” she confessed. “We didn’t even know each other. He was trying to figure out where we should go on our very first date, and I was like, ‘Let’s drive to Carpinteria. We’ll be in nature.'” Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger pose together outside against a brick wall

Katherine said she also wanted Chris to meet her horse, Cinco, whom she joked ultimately “approved.” Katherine Schwarzenegger with shoulder-length hair smiling in front of a vibrant, abstract background

“I got a gauge on that whole vibe,” she said of Chris, “and it was great.” Chris Pratt in a suit and Katherine Schwarzenegger in a strapless outfit with jewel details smile at each other at a themed event with a cartoon backdrop

Katherine also acknowledged that this came with some risks. “It was definitely a risk to take, like a five-hour drive with someone that you don’t know,” she said, “but it lended itself to a lot of talking and conversation.” Katherine Schwarzenegger in a velvet blazer and matching pants sits on a talk show set, smiling and talking to someone off-camera

I guess it worked out, too, as they’ve now been married for six years and have three children together: daughters, Lyla Maria and Eloise Christina, and a son, Ford Fitzgerald. Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger up close on the red carpet
