Katherine Schwarzenegger reveals how she says 'I love you' to husband Chris, mom Maria and dad Arnie

Katherine Schwarzenegger has revealed the old-fashioned tradition she still keeps up.

The author loves to write cards to her loved ones.

In recent years, Americans have been sending ecards which often get lost in inboxes. So the wife of Chris Pratt loves to get her message across in a more hands-on way: with written cards sent in the mail.

On Thursday she gave Daily Mail a look at her card organizing process. And the timing is great because Hallmark is having a semi-annual sale.

'Handwritten cards have always been my jam, thanks to my mama!' wrote the star on Instagram.

Her 'mama' is TV journalist Maria Shriver; her father is movie icon Arnold Schwarzenegger.

'Whether it's a thank-you card, a birthday card, or a just-because card, I always stay stocked up so I have them on hand. 

'Which is why I took advantage of @hallmark's semi-annual sale and stocked up on all the cards I'll need this year. Hope you do the same... it's one less thing on your checklist! Texts brighten the moment. Handwritten cards last a lifetime.'

The post was marked an ad. 

It was also added: 'This offer is valid only at Hallmark Gold Crown Store or Hallmark.com This sale only applies to Hallmark Cards and runs until 1/31/2026. Some exclusions apply.'

This comes after Pratt said he thought Schwarzenegger was 'really cute' when he first saw her.

The 46-year-old actor has dismissed suggestions that Shriver, his mother-in-law, played an instrumental role in him meeting Katherine.

During an appearance on FOX and Friends, Chris explained: 'That's actually not true.

'Let's settle it now. I met my wife in church. I was at a church in Hollywood, and I looked over and I saw her. And I know you're not supposed to be, like, checking out girls at church, but I'm only human. And I thought, "Wow, she's really cute."'

Chris was actually with his son - Jack, 13, whom he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris - when he met Katherine for the first time.

The actor recalled: 'I was there with my son Jack, and I picked him up from the kids program and Jack and I met Katherine basically at the same time. And, yes, the rest is history.'

He previously joked that he was 'sneaking glances' at his future wife in Church.

During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Chris shared: 'You kind of don't want to be like, "Whoa, who is that?" at church, you know what I mean. But I was kind of sneaking some glances and I was like, "Who is that? Anyway, what am I doing? Come on, I'm broken, help me."'

The movie star explained that their relationship moved at a rapid pace. He also described Katherine as the 'woman of [his] dreams'.

Chris said: 'God has a fast-forward button. When it's right, boom. You fall in love, you get married. Now we have two beautiful daughters to add to my family.

'My own journey, finding a higher power and leaning on that and being like, "please save me," and then feeling saved. And then shortly later finding the woman of my dreams.'

What's more, Chris joked about his relationship with his father-in-law.

The actor - who married Schwarzenegger in 2019 - quipped: 'There's peer pressure, and then there's Arnold Schwarzenegger peer pressure.'
