Katherine Schwarzenegger is the eldest of the four children Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ex-wife Maria Shriver share. Growing up in a household that encourages one to be unique and follow one’s heart, the Gift of Forgiveness author once presented her newly wedded husband, Chris Pratt, with a bizarre gift of animals.

Katherine married Pratt in 2019 after dating for about a year. They are parents of two daughters, Lyla and Eloise. Schwarzenegger shares many similarities with her father, the Terminator star, as seen in her fondness for animals she rescued in high school. In a 2020 episode on the Kelly Clarkson Show, Katherine got candid about the history of the gift and Arnold’s pets, Whiskey and Lulu.

Katherine Schwarzenegger got her husband, Chris Pratt, two piggies

Schwarzenegger and Pratt are one of the most adored celebrity couples on the internet. The host began with a question about what Pratt’s wife presented him on his birthday. “I got him piggies,” Katherine replied. Astonished by her choice, the host asked, “You got him actual pigs?” Interestingly, Pratt adored them.

The NY Best-Selling Author revealed the story of the pigs. When Katherine was in high school, she rescued the supposedly miniature pigs. To her surprise, they turned into “giant big potbelly pigs and rooted up my mom’s entire lawn,” she cheerfully said. “They’re so big, very, very large.”

Moreover, Katherine grew up with animals. However, she was “excited” about not bringing them to her house “because I was told they would stay small. They did not.” She said they were living on a beautiful farm in Washington. Besides, she mentioned her action star father’s pets- a miniature donkey and a pony.

Arnold Schwarzenegger shared his therapeutic connection with Lulu and Whiskey

Earlier this year, the 75-year-old spoke about how he begins his day in a house full of vigor and life. Arnold has quite a few animals as his pets, to name a few: Lulu, his pet donkey, Whiskey, his pet pony, a bulldog, and a puppy. Speaking of them, Schwarzenegger said he has the first hour of the day dedicated to feeding his animal pals at home.

Furthermore, he shared how all of them would be waiting to get his attention, otherwise they would scream and wake up their neighbors. “So you do like farmer’s chores in the morning,” the host asked. The former bodybuilder said, “It is so much fun. I think it’s kind of therapeutic.”
