EXCLUSIVE

Chris Pratt is apparently a hopeless romantic, who really knows how to make a girl laugh — just ask Katherine Schwarzenegger!!

Chris was spotted on a picnic date Sunday with Arnold and Maria‘s 28-year-old daughter. The duo’s outing went down up in Santa Barbara, and Chris was a total gentleman — picking up Katherine at her place and driving her up the coast.

We’ve seen Chris get flirty before, but this is the first time we’ve seen him on a full-fledged date since he filed for divorce from Anna Faris back in December.

While Katherine clearly has a Hollywood pedigree, she’s not IN the biz. She’s an interior designer and lifestyle blogger.

Whatever their conversation was during the date … they both look impressed and happy.
