Pratt’s wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, joined the conversation by replying to an Instagram post about the E! as the author and new mother, 31, wrote in a comment: ‘Is this really what we need?’
“There is so much going on in the world and people are struggling in many ways,” continued Katherine. ‘Being bad is so yesterday. There is enough space to love all these guys. Love is what we all don’t need to mean and intimidate. Let’s try this. ‘
