The couple began dating in 2018 when they were set up by Shriver. In January 2019, they were engaged, going on to get married in June of that year in Montecito, Calif.
The mom-of-three has been open about how her parents — Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger — have taught her life lessons now that she's raising kids of her own.
"My mom and I are always really close and talk several times a day about everything," the star told People. "And it's been such a beautiful experience to be able to step into my journey with motherhood and also watch my mom step into her journey in grandmotherhood."
"I want to do so much of the same that she did with us kids when she raised us and continues to raise us," she added.
Katherine, 34, also said she's lucky to have her mom around to lean on.
"Since I got engaged to Chris, [my mom] has always been very mindful that these are people we're bringing into our family and I want to make sure those relationships are great relationships," she shared.
"My mom is always checking in to make sure if I invite her over to watch a movie or have dinner, she's like, 'Is Chris good with that too?' Because her relationship with Chris and also with my brother's future wife is super important to her, and I think that that's such a beautiful thing," she added.
