On Friday 7 August, the new mum’s father Arnold, 73, said to Fox 11 that it was going to be “really, really exciting” to welcome a new member of the family and his first grandchild.

Pratt proposed in January 2019 and the pair were married in June the same year.

The couple were first seen together in June 2018, almost a year after Pratt and Faris decided to “legally separate”.

In a statement, Pratt wrote: “Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed.

“Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward. We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another.”
