Katherine Schwarzenegger Prattand husbandChris Pratthave their daughter’s best interest at heart.
Whileappearing virtuallyon theTodayshow Tuesday, the 31-year-oldThe Gift of Forgivenessauthor opened up about why she and Pratt, 41, keep their infant daughter’s face out of photographs shared online.
Despite growing up in the public eye as the daughter ofArnold SchwarzeneggerandMaria Shriver, Schwarzenegger Pratt said that her parents gave her a “normal” upbringing, which she would similarly like to give her own daughter,Lyla Maria, 7 months.
“I think that one of the greatest gifts that my parents ever gave me and my siblings is the gift of privacy and having a really normal upbringing, or as normal of an upbringing as possible,” the new mom said. “We were allowed to be our own people and have our own identity and kind of choose to step into whatever form of being public we wanted to when we felt comfortable. And I think that was such an incredible gift to have given us kids.”

(Pratt is also father to son Jack, 8, with his ex-wife,Anna Faris.)
