There was a time when Anna Faris and Chris Pratt’s relationship was considered the perfect Hollywood love story. The bubbly sweetheart from “Parks and Recreation” and the comedic knockout who rose through the ranks of A-listers seemed like a match made in heaven until their unexpected divorce. Faris’ walk down the “Scary Movie 6” red carpet with her and Pratt’s 13-year-old son, Jack, served as a reminder of what was once between the couple.
The two stars famously met on the set of “Take Me Home Tonight” and tied the knot in 2009. They welcomed Jack in 2012 in a bit of a scare as he had to spend some time in the NICU. All seemed well for the family until the couple announced their separation in 2017 and finalized their divorce in 2018. Both seemed to take an amicable approach to co-parenting while keeping things private. Pratt in particular moved on rather quickly, proposing in early 2019 to Katherine Schwarzenegger within just a few short months of the finalized divorce. Faris married cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021.
Evidence of their co-parenting was captured for the first time in nearly seven years for Jack’s sixth grade graduation in 2025. According to Page sixPratt and Faris kept it friendly, taking pictures and chatting. It seems the two have maintained a healthy relationship from a distance. Faris spoke along People about her relationship with both Pratt and Schwarzeneggerand said: “They are very protective of me and I will be very protective of them. I really appreciate their support.”
The years following the divorce shed little light on what exactly caused trouble in paradise
That said, there’s a lot to unpack when it comes down to it Anna Faris and Chris Pratt’s relationship when they were still together. Many wondered why the two divorced in the first place. On her “Anna Faris is unqualified” podcast, Faris mused to guest Gwyneth Paltrow, “My other two marriages were to actors, and I don’t think we did a good job of eliminating the competitiveness.” It all makes sense when you consider their careers. At the time they met, Faris was in the midst of a blossoming career, while Pratt was just scratching the surface of Hollywood before landing his breakout role on “Parks and Rec” — a breeding ground for toxic competition. According to Us Weeklyrevealed a source that Pratt “never felt ‘good enough’ for Anna Faris, and when their relationship began to deteriorate, he was angry and didn’t like who he was.”
In 2022, Pratt came under fire after the birth of his daughter with Katherine Schwarzenegger. In one tribute post to Schwarzenegger, Pratt gushed that she had provided him with “a beautiful healthy daughter.” Many believe this comment was a jab at Faris and her son, Jack, who experienced numerous health problems due to being born prematurely. While Jack is now fully recovered, many found the comment insensitive. Pratt, of course, denied any ill will behind the comment. Pratt and Faris’ relationship seems to be cordial today, but it’s important to note that it’s never a good look to get buff, divorce your wife, and get engaged soon after.
