Back in 2012, Jack was born seven weeks early and only weighed 3 pounds, 10 ounces. During a recent appearance on "Fox & Friends," Pratt explained that his stance on faith changed at that moment.

"The most impactful moment was when my son was born. He was born early and had some health scares, and in that moment, I really made some deals with God, as you do when you're praying, and I felt like if you save my son, I will give you everything."

Pratt and his ex-wife, Anna Faris, welcomed Jack in 2012 and have continued to co-parent him since their split in 2017.
