Katherine Schwarzenegger Says She Needs Chris Pratt
Last week, Katherine Schwarzenegger, the oldest of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s five children, posted a video of her husband sanding a hand-made dollhouse in their backyard, one he made for their children, Lyla, 5, Christina, 3, and Ford, 1.
“I’ll never understand when women say, ‘I don’t need my husband‘ when I very much in fact do need my husband because who else would build our daughters a doll house?” she wrote on Instagram. She set the video to Olivia Dean’s hit song, “Man I Need,” and added the caption, “When you have a golden retriever husband >>>”

Social Media Reactions
While many followers in her comment section were fawning over Katherine and Chris' sweet relationship, leaving comments like, "You two are the cutest couple!" and "What a sweet comment about and to her husband!" others were less enthused.
"You. You could do it," one critic commented. "How nice that he did but it's either tone deaf or passive aggressive to say you'll 'never understand.'"
"YOU can build the dang doll house," another person wrote. "Teach your daughter to build it herself. I WANT my husband to spend life with me. I’m not helpless."
"Are we surprised?" another asked. "She's a rich nepo baby."
"A bad role model for her own daughter," added the next.
Luckily, many women came to her defense. "We know women can do that!!" one fan wrote. "She's just happy that Chris can do it—you go Chris!"
"I think it’s amazing that you have a husband to do things like this," a final fan said. "People are just jealous of what you have in Chris. Needing each other is what keeps a marriage strong."
