Chris Pratt Celebrates Son Jack’s 13th Birthday with Heartfelt Tribute
Hollywood star Chris Pratt, 46, recently celebrated a significant milestone as his eldest son, Jack, whom he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris, turned 13 years old on Sunday, August 17. The proud father took to his Instagram Stories to mark the occasion, sharing a heartfelt tribute that resonated with fans.
“I have a teenager???” Pratt wrote, expressing a touch of disbelief alongside a touching collage of rarely seen photos with his son. He continued with an emotional message: “Jack, I can’t believe you are 13 today. I’ve watched you grow into such an incredible young man, and am truly proud of the person you are becoming. I love you! Jesus is King.” The collage offered a glimpse into their bond, featuring moments such as the father-son duo in matching “Pratt” jerseys, visiting a farm, attending various sporting events, and engaging in DIY projects together.
Jack’s Early Life and Family Dynamics
Jack’s journey began on August 17, 2012, when he was born prematurely, weighing just 3 lbs., 10 oz. His parents, Chris Pratt and actress Anna Faris, 48, were married in 2009 before announcing their separation in 2017, with their divorce finalized in 2018.
Beyond his bond with his mother and father, Jack also plays a loving role as an older brother. Chris Pratt shares three younger children with his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger: daughters Lyla, 5, and Eloise, 3, and son Ford, 9 months. In June 2022, Pratt spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the significant age gap and Jack’s gentle nature with his siblings. “There’s a big age separation… [and] he does a great job, he’s so sweet with them,” Pratt shared, adding, “And they love him so much and they miss him when he’s gone.”
Cherished Moments and Parental Bonds
Both parents actively foster individual relationships with Jack. In July 2024, Anna Faris revealed an exclusive mother-son tradition to PEOPLE, explaining that “Every six months, he gets to choose an activity.” These outings often include visits to iconic Southern California destinations like Disneyland or the San Diego Zoo. Faris expressed her joy in these unique “mother-son trips.” Similarly, Pratt frequently shares glimpses of their adventures. In 2023, he posted about a memorable outing to a Dodgers baseball game, where he and Jack “got to hit the mound together, eat our bodyweight in Dodger Dogs and delivered the game opening announcement.”
As Jack steps into his teenage years, these shared moments and the ongoing dedication of both his parents underscore the strong familial bonds that continue to shape his life.
