Elsewhere in the interview, Christ Pratt revealed that they have no idea about the gender of their baby. He said that they both opted to be surprised during the birth but that he's got a hunch, saying:
"I have a feeling. I have an intuition but I won't say it now in case I'm wrong and this child sees this."
As for Katherine Schwarzenegger, she had already teased about the pregnancy two days before she confirmed it on TODAY. On October 15, she shared an adorable picture of her and Pratt's second daughter, Eloise, wearing a pink dress, pink sneakers, and a white baseball cap with "BIG SIS" embroidered on it. The proud mom wrote in the caption:
"Big sis loading."
Katherine Schwarzenegger also teased the impending birth of her and Chris Pratt's son in an Instagram photo dump on October 28. She shared pictures of her two daughters enjoying a pony ride, having a downtime using a Therabody leg compression machine, and a baby crib from Charlie Crane Paris.
