Chris Pratt and Son Jack Light Up Super Bowl LX with Seahawks Introduction
In a heartwarming display of family and fandom, Hollywood star Chris Pratt and his son, Jack Pratt, took center stage at Super Bowl LX on Sunday in Santa Clara, California. The father-son duo stepped onto the field at Levi's Stadium to announce the Seattle Seahawks, Chris's hometown team, right before kickoff, creating one of the most memorable celebrity moments of the entire night.
A Wholesome NFL Moment That Captivated Fans
It's not every day that NFL fans get to witness one of their favorite Marvel stars sharing such a personal moment with his child on football's biggest stage. The energy inside Levi's Stadium immediately intensified as Chris Pratt, wearing the classic "12" Seahawks jersey, grabbed the microphone and enthusiastically declared, "Your NFC champions, Seattle Seahawks!"
Standing proudly beside him was his son Jack, sporting a matching Seahawks jersey, visibly excited and ready to cheer. This appearance transcended the typical celebrity cameo, offering fans a genuine glimpse into the intersection of family life and sports passion.
Deep-Rooted Seahawks Loyalty
Chris Pratt's connection to the Seattle Seahawks is neither superficial nor newly developed. The actor grew up in Lake Stevens, Washington, just a short distance from Seattle, and has been a dedicated member of the Seahawks "12s" fan base since childhood. Despite achieving global fame through blockbuster movies, Pratt has maintained this hometown allegiance throughout his career.
His commitment to the team has been consistently evident through:- Years of social media posts celebrating significant Seahawks victories
- Regular attendance at games, often bringing Jack along
- Vocal support during playoff seasons, sometimes losing his voice from cheering
Just days before Super Bowl LX, Pratt expressed his excitement on X (formerly Twitter) with an all-caps message: "WE'RE IN THE SUPER BOWL BABY!!!!!" This appearance with his son represented a full-circle moment, connecting his childhood fandom with his current role as a father.
From Restaurant Server to Hollywood Star
Born in 1979 in Virginia, Minnesota, Chris Pratt's journey to stardom began humbly. He worked as a waiter at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company in Maui, a restaurant inspired by the classic film 'Forrest Gump.' His breakthrough came through a chance encounter that led to his first role in Rae Dawn Chong's short film 'Cursed Part 3.'
Although that project never saw public release, it set Pratt on his acting path. His career-defining role came as Andy Dwyer in 'Parks and Recreation,' where his lovable goofball charm won over audiences nationwide. This success paved the way for major action roles, including Star-Lord in the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise and Owen in the 'Jurassic World' series.
Fatherhood at the Core
The Super Bowl moment powerfully demonstrated that fatherhood remains central to Chris Pratt's identity. He shares son Jack with his ex-wife, Anna Faris, and consistently expresses pride in his eldest child. Last August, Pratt posted a heartfelt birthday tribute as Jack turned thirteen, celebrating the young man his son is becoming.
Pratt also has three younger children—Lyla, Eloise, and Ford—with his current wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt. This family-oriented perspective adds depth to public appearances like the Seahawks introduction, revealing the personal values behind the celebrity persona.
The Super Bowl LX appearance showcased how sports can create meaningful family memories while connecting celebrities to their roots. Chris Pratt's genuine enthusiasm for both his hometown team and his role as a father created a standout moment that resonated far beyond typical football entertainment.
