Katherine Schwarzenegger is embracing her inner cupid!
“Extra's" Mona Kosar Abdi spoke with Katherine about her Valentine’s Day traditions with hubby Chris Pratt and their kids.
She shared, "I feel like at this phase of life, where we have little kids, they’re doing, like, their valentines in school and getting really into like the Valentine’s spirit, which I think is so sweet and fun.”
“We kind of celebrate all week long, really all month long,” Schwarzenegger noted. “The girls love, you know, wearing all of their Valentine’s-themed outfits and getting ready at school for the Valentine’s Day celebrations.”
Katherine also likes to include their kids when planning anything Valentine’s Day-related for their family. She added, “We do something fun for the kids. We do something for my parents and my siblings, and I just really like to have fun with it.”
As for Chris and Katherine, they prefer to celebrate Valentine’s Day early. She pointed out, “Doing anything on actual Valentine’s Day is so chaotic.”
"Chris and I have had a long-standing theme of writing handwritten cards to each other on Valentine's Day," she shared, "It’s something we’ve done since the very beginning of us being together.”
Katherine recalled their first Valentine’s Day together, saying, “We had just gotten engaged, because we were together like six months before we got engaged. We got engaed in January and then spent our first Valentine's Day together engaged and, like, planning our wedding full-throttle. And I think we ended up actually at my mom’s house with my siblings and we just had, like, a big love dinner.”
She's also planning on doing a little Galentine's Day with her friends!
"Galentine's Day hits differently when you're a mom," she said, emphasizing how tricky it can be to coordinate schedules. "I think we're gonna try and watch a movie. I know that 'Wuthering Heights' is like everywhere."
Katherine also makes sure everyone in her life feels the love with a card. "Valentine's Day also sometimes can be like an isolating holiday," she said. "I loved being able to have Valentine's Day with either my girlfriends or even my parents or my siblings... Just giving someone a little something extra that you were thinking of them that week and that you love and care about them is such a great way to make someone feel like they were thought of."
