Katherine Schwarzenegger: Chris Pratt didn’t ‘try and pick me up in church’

Church is for worship, not courtship.

Katherine Schwarzenegger assured fans that her husband, Chris Pratt, didn’t ask her out when they first crossed paths inside a house of prayer in 2018.

“We met each other at church. It was very sweet, but he didn’t try and pick me up in church,” the 33-year-old clarified on Friday’s episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

She noted, “Everybody’s always like, ‘How did that happen that you were in church? How’d that work?'”

Barrymore, who called Pratt her “favorite person” who “puts goodness into the world,” went on to ask Schwarzenegger how she knew that the “Parks and Recreation” alum was The One.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver’s daughter didn’t offer up an answer, instead suggesting that her mom introduce Barrymore to a new man.

“[She] loves to be a matchmaker and she will do it,” Katherine told the talk show host. “It’s, like, her pride in life.”

In fact, Shriver, 67, was reportedly the one to introduce Katherine and Pratt.
