Eloise Christina Schwarzenegger Pratt has officially made her Instagram debut. On Saturday, June 18, Katherine Schwarzenegger shared a recap of photos from May and June, including two shots with her second daughter with Chris Pratt, Eloise. The couple officially announced the birth of their second child on May 22. Eloise joins her older daughter Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt, 1, and Pratt’s son Jack, 9, from his previous marriage to Anna Faris.
In the first photo from the feast, Eloise’s small hand can be seen in a picture of her cuddling with Schwarzenegger. In another, she appears to be perched on Schwarzenegger’s lap wearing adorable ankle boots with little pink bows. None of the photos show the baby’s face, which is in keeping with how the celebrity parents have handled sharing photos of Lyla as well.
During a 2021 interview with Today, Schwarzenegger revealed why she and Pratt decided not to share photos of their children’s faces online. “I didn’t grow up with social media at all, so it’s a little bit different just because I feel like we share so much in today’s world,” she said. “But I think one of the greatest gifts my parents have ever given me and my siblings is the gift of privacy and a really normal upbringing, or as normal an upbringing as possible.”
“We had a really normal and magical childhood, and we were kind of allowed to be our own people and have our own identities and choose to come out in whatever form of publicity we wanted if we were comfortable,” she continued. “It was such an incredible gift to have given us children. Being able to give to our children is something that is really important to my husband and I. Being able to have that privacy and not necessarily showing that much of them on social media.”
Though careful to maintain Eloise and Lyla’s privacy, the couple still share moments from their family life on social media, Schwarzenegger’s latest post reveals. The author’s photo collection included not only photos of her newborn, but also a picture of Lyla’s hand reaching for a flower, breast milk, a plate of lactation cookies, Pratt cooking in her kitchen, and a throwback photo of Schwarzenegger when she was herself just a baby She simply captioned her post, “May & June 💘”.
It’s clear from her photos that the arrival of baby Eloise has made the last two months very special for the family.
