Chris also has a son called Jack from his previous marriage to Anna Faris. He tied the knot with Katherine in 2019.
Following the birth of his first child, Chris said he would be open to having more kids, telling E! News Daily Pop in 2021: "I think having a second child really emphasises what was unique about your first child, because when you have one kid, you just take for granted all their growth and development. You just assume all children are that way.
"And then you see a second kid come along and they might be a little bit different and they might highlight some of the differences. And so that's been nice.
"My oldest is a son and now I have a girl so seeing that is different, how I react maybe a little differently. I don't roughhouse quite as much as I did for some reason, I don't know. I just want to cuddle both of them."
