This comes after Pratt and Schwarzenegger were first spotted kissing together while out with the actor’s son Jack during the summer.

The pair had also been seen attending church together prior to this.

29-year-old Schwarzenegger is the daughter of actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger and American journalist Maria Shriver.

Apparently, her family had their “fingers crossed” that their daughter’s relationship with Pratt was going to “work out long term.”

Pratt and ex Anna Farris announced that they were splitting in summer of 2017 following eight years of marriage. Citing irreconcilable differences, they said that they had “tried for a long time” to make their relationship work.

The pair have one son together, six-year-old Jack.

They settled their divorce in November of last year and still have “the deepest respect for one another.”
