Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt has paid a sweet tribute to her husband Chris Pratt after the Marvel star spent his time hand-building a wooden dollhouse for their daughters, and she had some thoughts about women who claim they don’t need their husbands.

The author, 36, shared a video on Instagram on Sunday, 29 March showing Pratt, 46, sanding the exterior of the toy house, set to Olivia Dean’s Man I Need. 

Her caption left little room for ambiguity. 

“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, adding: “When you have a golden retriever husband >>>.”

The couple share three children, Lyla, 5, Eloise, 3, and Ford, 1, and Schwarzenegger Pratt has been consistently open about what she values most in her marriage. 

Speaking to PEOPLE recently, she highlighted Pratt’s ability to bring humour into difficult moments as one of the things she is most grateful for. 

“Even when not funny, someone who can also make you laugh in a really hard time is really important,” she said.

She also said that the foundation of their relationship is a sense of genuine teamwork. “Just knowing that we’re teammates in so much of life, and especially in parenting, which has its ups and downs,” she said.

Ryan Reynolds found himself $25,000 lighter on Sunday night after being cheerfully pressured by a Broadway audience into winning a charity auction for a hat worn by Jonathan Groff in his final performance of Just in Time.

Groff’s closing night as Bobby Darin gave theatregoers the chance to bid on his signed hat, with all proceeds going to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. 

The bidding opened at $5,000 and climbed fast, leaving Reynolds visibly taken aback as he found himself in a battle with other audience members. 

“Wow,” he could be seen mouthing as the numbers rose, before he bid $20,000.

The crowd wasn’t done with him yet. 

“We love you, Ryan,” someone called out, as the MC kept the pressure on. “You know I want more, 21?” 

When Reynolds appeared to hesitate, she was blunt about it: “Well, we could just end it if you want to do a big number. It’s for charity, honey!”

That did the trick. Reynolds stood up and shouted, “25!”, and the hat was his.

Groff, 41, personally hand-delivered the prize, the two embracing and chatting before Reynolds attempted to pop the hat on his daughter’s head. 

Reynolds, 49, was at the theatre with his wife Blake Lively and three of their four children, James, 11, Inez, 9, and Betty, 6. 

Lively sat behind her husband with Betty, while Reynolds was flanked by James and Inez. Their youngest, three-year-old son Olin, was not at the show.

Channing Tatum has given fans an honest update on his recovery from emergency shoulder surgery, admitting the experience has taken a significant mental toll, but saying he is finally starting to feel like himself again.

The actor, 45, shared a video to Instagram on 30 March showing his healing scar and reflecting on what the past two months have been like.

“It’s a good day, finally. This has been a rough one. I’ve been mentally up and down in my head more than I think I’ve ever been in my life,” he said.

In the caption, he went further: “This one has been the lowest of the lows. But starting to come out the other side. Feeling better than I have in months mentally.”

Tatum first shared news of the surgery in a hospital post on 4 February, writing simply: “Just another day. Another challenge. This one is gonna be hard. But whatever. Let’s get it.” 

He had undergone emergency surgery for a separated shoulder. 

A follow-up post on 19 February showed the scar in its early stages of healing, raised and bumpy in a way he hadn’t anticipated. “I thought it was gonna be two little holes,” he said at the time.

The most recent video tells a different story. 

Standing shirtless in the sun, Tatum showed the mark has faded considerably. 

“The scar is actually healing up pretty nice. I’m getting some mobility back. It’s atrophied so much though. I feel like a toddler in the gym,” he said.

The timing matters because Tatum has been given the green light to resume training for his next film, a love story set around the Isle of Man TT motorcycle race, which begins shooting in six weeks. 

“It’s gonna be a grind. Wish me some luck,” he said. The countdown is on.
