Additionally, Pratt gushed that he is ‘one lucky man’ to be married to the eldest child of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. 

‘Thank you for the love, support and partnership. I love you,’ he concluded, while accompanying his message with snaps of them by the pool, with their little girl and throughout her pregnancy. 

Among the many pictures, Schwarzenegger could be seen holding her baby in front of a bunch of Christmas trees and cradling her baby bump in their living room.

In response, she commented: ‘Awww I love you ♥️.’  

Katherine’s dad, Arnold Schwarzenegger, also fawned over the birthday girl on social media with a childhood throwback of him holding her in his muscular arms.

‘Happy birthday @katherineschwarzenegger! You are a bright light in my world and I am so proud of you,’ he wrote. ‘Watching you become a fantastic mother while continuing to be a force for good with your writing and work is one of my greatest joys. I love you!’

Meanwhile, Shriver documented herself making the mother-of-one a homemade vanilla birthday cake brimming with rainbow sprinkles on the top. 

Late on Saturday night, the journalist reflected on how she was in labor with  Katherine 31 years ago, who was born at exactly ’12:13am on December 13th.’

‘From the moment she arrived, she has been a gift from god. She is loving, smart, thoughtful, caring, wise, strong, and determined. Her heart is as huge as her laugh,’ she said of the USC grad.

Shriver continued: ‘She has been and is an extraordinary daughter, and now she is an extraordinary wife and mother. I’m honored to have a front row seat in her life.’ 

‘On this day and on all days, I’m in awe of her. I love her, I like her, I enjoy being with her. I learn from her, I gain strength from her. She is a gift to all, especially to me,’ the mother-of-four reflected. 

Shriver’s slideshow included baby photos and, a few, more recent ones of them smiling together in newsrooms.
