Chris Pratt has taken to Instagram to share a message to his son for his tenth birthday after he was slammed online last year for thanking his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger for giving him a "healthy daughter".
At the time, some people took the comments to be an attack on his son, Jack, whom he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris,
His son was born premature, weighing just three pounds and 12 ounces and had to spend the first month of his life in the NICU.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the 43-year-old Jurassic World actor shared an image of a sheep with a baby lamb.
He captioned the picture: "Happy Birthday to my first born, my smart, handsome, kind hearted, big boy Jack! TEN!!?? WHAAAT!? Double digits!! Hard to believe it’s already been ten years!! You’re the best son, big brother, fisherman, scout, reader, mathematician, imagineer, builder, boxer and buddy a guy could ask for. Love you kid!"
Last November, Pratt was accused of being insensitive to not only his son Jack but also to Faris, his ex-wife, after a message he penned to his current wife, Schwarzenegger.
Dedicating a birthday post to Schwarzenegger, Pratt gushed over her, crediting her with giving him "a gorgeous healthy daughter."
He wrote alongside an image of the two of them together: "Guys. For real. Look how she’s looking at me! I mean. Find you somebody that looks at you like that!! You know!? We met in church.
"She’s given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter, she chews so loudly that sometimes i put in my ear buds to drown it out, but that’s love! She helps me with everything.
"In return, periodically, I open a jar of pickles. That’s the trade. Her heart is pure and it belongs to me. My greatest treasure right next to my Ken Griffey Jr Upper Deck Rookie card. Which if you know, you know is saying a lot. It’s her birthday in about 6 weeks.
"So if I don’t get her anything, I’ll tell her to look back on this post. Love you honey."
Pratt later admitted to crying over the flak he got for his "healthy daughter" comments.
Speaking to Men's Health, he said: “I said something like, ‘Find someone who looks at you the way my wife looks at me.’ And then I gave her some s*** in the thing and said, ‘But I love you. I’m so thankful for my wife — she gave me a beautiful, healthy daughter.’"
“And then a bunch of articles came out and said, ‘That’s so cringeworthy. I can’t believe Chris Pratt would thank her for a healthy daughter when his first child was born premature. That’s such a dig at his ex-wife,’” he continued, before sharing that the backlash brought him to tears.
