Thanking hostJimmy Kimmelfor sharing his congratulations on the news, Schwarzenegger said, “It’s the easiest thing to be a grandfather.”
“They come over to the house, you play with Lyla for around an hour or two, put her on the horse, put her with the dog. And after two hours, they leave,” he joked, clapping his hands. “It’s fantastic! I have a great time when they come over to the house.”

Speaking about his son-in-law, the former governor of California called Pratt, 42, a “fantastic guy” and “a great son-in-law.” Sharing similar praise for his author daughter, 32, he continued, “I love my daughter Katherine, is so wonderful and I’m so proud of her.”
“When they come over the whole house lights up. And the animals are there,” he said.
In the same conversation, Kimmel, 54, asked his guest if he knew the gender of his second grandchild.
“I really don’t know. But I do blow it a lot of time, because I can’t shut my mouth,” Schwarzenegger joked. “It could easily be that they know, I don’t know, I don’t think so, because my wife never wanted to know. It was always a guessing kind of a game,” he explained.
“I think because Katherine is a lot like Maria, she will probably go in the same direction and not want to know,” theTerminatorstar speculated.
