Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger reportedly refused to live together until they got engaged due to their deeply held Christian principles.

However reports have since emerged that the couple had no plans to live together until he popped the question because co-habiting would go against their religious beliefs as Christians.

A source told the Sun: “They recently moved in together and that’s why the engagement was out of the bag – it’s not something Katherine would have done if they weren’t planning to get married.

“They’re both very devout – that’s one of the reasons their relationship works so well – and are very committed to their faith. Some of their early dates were even at church – so Katherine would have refused to live with him until they made the commitment to getting married.”

The insider added that Pratt, 39, supposedly prayed before asking the 29-year-old to marry him.

Standard Online has contacted representatives of Pratt and Schwarzenegger for comment.

The reports come after Pratt announced news of his engagement with a sweet post of him hugging his other half.

The Parks and Recreations star captioned the post: “Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I’m thrilled to be marrying you.

“Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go!”

The pair are rumoured to have been dating since last summer but only confirmed their romance last month when Schwarzenegger turned 29.
