Anna Faris Reflects On ‘Scrutiny’ She Faced After Chris Pratt Divorce

Anna Faris has made some rare comments about her divorce from Chris Pratt.

In a new interview with Variety, the Scary Movie star reflected on her painful split from Chris, to whom she was married for eight years before their 2017 break-up, and the scrutiny she faced from the public after she and the Marvel actor parted ways.

The divorce was finalised in 2018.

“I was feeling sad,” Anna recalled. “I do feel like I had enough gumption, enough of a core, and I have tried to be careful about how much Hollywood infiltrates, but now I’ve been on a spectrum of fame for 26 years, so I would be naïve to think that it hasn’t shaped who I am at this point.”

“But, fuck,” she added. “The scrutiny…”

Anna, who shares 13-year-old son Jack with her ex-husband, credited her podcast, Anna Faris Is Unqualified, for giving her a support system and helping her deal with the public break-up.

“I didn’t disclose a lot on the podcast, but I always felt like I could if I needed to. The podcast helped me a lot during that time,” she said.

Anna later tied the knot with cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021. Meanwhile, Chris got remarried to Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019. He and his second wife have since welcomed three more children.

Speaking to People in October 2017, Anna said that she and the Guardians Of The Galaxy star have remained close pals and were focused on co-parenting their son.

“We’ll always have each other and be incredible friends,” she said at the time.

“There is still so much laughter in our lives together, and he is so proud of me, still. We watched each other grow, and he still cracks me up all the time.”

Chris told Entertainment Weekly in 2018 that “divorce sucks” while discussing the split.

“But at the end of the day, we’ve got a great kid [Jack] who’s got two parents who love him very much,” he noted. “And we’re finding a way to navigate this while still remaining friends and still being kind to one another.”
