The couple announced that they were expecting another baby back in December 2021.
Chris and Katherine are already parents to Lyla Maria, who was born in 2020.
While baby Eloise is Chris' second child with Katherine, he also has a nine-year-old son named Jack from his previous marriage to Anna Faris.
Chris and Katherine tied the knot in 2019.
As her name suggests, Katherine's father is actor and former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her mother is Maria Shriver, who is the niece of the late US President John F. Kennedy.
Katherine is a self-help author and has written four books.
