Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s baby name and first pic revealed

After news broke of their baby’s arrival, Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger confirmed the birth of their first child together along with the newborn’s meaningful name.

"We are beyond thrilled to announce the birth of our daughter, Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt," the famous parents announced on their individual Instagram accounts along with a photo of the two stars' holding their infant's hand.

"We couldn't be happier. Both mom and baby are doing great. We are extremely blessed," the action star added, followed by Bible verses. 

The special name is particularly special as Katherine’s mother is the famous Maria Shriver. 

The new bub is the couple’s first child, but joins older half-brother, Jack, Pratt’s 7-year-old son with ex-wife Anna Faris.

Speaking to E! News a month ago, the expecting mum said: "I want to be a sponge always around my mom and just observe as much as I can from her because she has been the greatest mom and continues to be the greatest mom to all four of us. We're really lucky, so if I can be just a little bit of the mom that she is then I'll be lucky."

Which makes sense as to why she paid tribute to her mother through her daughter.

Shriver commented on Katherine’s Instagram post, saying:  "So happy for you Lyla Maria is so blessed to have you both as parents you are going to be a amazing mama you already are !!!"
