Katherine Schwarzenegger's daughters appear to each have a parent they take after!
The BDA Baby podcast host has been married to husband Chris Pratt since 2019, and they share daughters Lyla, five, and Eloise, three, son Ford, one, plus the Guardians of the Galaxy actor also shares son Jack, 13, with ex-wife Anna Faris.
And though the couple keep their children largely out of the public eye, photos shared by the doting mom nonetheless reveal how their genes got passed down to their kids.
Over the weekend, Katherine, 36, took to Instagram and shared a glimpse into her summer so far, sharing a photo of her daughters — one of which has brunette hair like her mom and another blonder hair like her dad — playing with a turtle.
Another photo sees Ford at the beach in adorable, lobster-themed swimwear with a matching hat, while another snap sees the sisters skipping down a gravel road while carrying a tote bag together.
Katherine also included snaps of Lyla and Eloise drawing with chalk and of the three kids at a farm.

"The sweetest summer!" one wrote, as others followed suit with: "Beautiful family," and: "Looking good!" as well as: "Perfection."
Katherine and Chris, who started dating in 2018 after they were reportedly set up by her mom Maria Shriver, are based between Montecito and Pacific Palisades, while they are building a new Brentwood home. Last year, Katherine opened up about how she and Chris prepared for their marriage, and her becoming a stepmother to Jack, which included seeking help from a step-parenting coach. "It's been incredibly helpful for me and also just understanding my role as a step-parent," she said during an appearance with her husband on the Parenting & You With Dr. Shefali podcast.

Step-parenting is extra confusing because you aren’t a parent, you're not a nanny, you're not an assistant. You have responsibilities in all of those areas but you're not either of them," she added.

Speaking with his good friend Rob Lowe on his podcast on SiriusXM, Literally! With Rob Lowe, Chris explained: "Part of getting married at St. Monica's church is doing premarital counseling," adding: "We did like, six sessions with this guy who was, by the way, the best thing in the world."
Chris shared how the priest directed them to essentially hash out potentially conflict-inducing conversations, even like when to start and stop celebrating Christmas. "It's like 300 potential landmines and [you can] diffuse them beforehand. And that way, if you have an issue, you talk about it and you hash it out," he said. "If you agree on it, you move on. But if there's things you disagree on, you hash it out and you do the work to figure out why are you coming from this [belief]?"
