From Hollywood Romance to Amicable Exes
Anna Faris, 48, and Chris Pratt, 46, first met in 2007 on the set of the romantic comedy Take Me Home Tonight. They got engaged in 2008 and married in 2009 in a ceremony in Bali, Indonesia.
Their son Jack was born in 2012, arriving nine weeks premature and spending time in the NICU—an experience that bonded the couple but also brought stress. In August 2017, after eight years of marriage, they announced their separation via social media in a joint statement.
“We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed. Our son has two parents who love him very much, and for his sake, we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward. We still love each other and will always cherish our time together.”
Their divorce was finalized in 2018, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Both have since moved on romantically but maintained a strong co-parenting bond for Jack.
The Thanksgiving 2025 Reunion: What Happened
On Thursday, November 27, 2025 (Thanksgiving Day), Anna Faris was photographed dropping off their 13-year-old son Jack at St. Monica’s Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California. Chris Pratt was there volunteering at a charity event to provide meals for the homeless.
The heartwarming moment:
Exclusive photos obtained by The Daily Mail show Anna and Chris sharing a warm hug before she left Jack with his father. Both dressed casually—Chris in a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and black baseball cap; Anna in black sweats and a matching cap.
Chris’s wife Katherine Schwarzenegger was also present at the event but did not appear to interact with Anna. Chris later posted a Thanksgiving photo slideshow on Instagram captioned simply: “Thankful.”
Anna Faris & Chris Pratt Timeline
Co-Parenting Success: How They Made It Work
One of the most remarkable aspects of Anna Faris and Chris’s divorce is their commitment to co-parenting. As part of their divorce agreement, they agreed to live within 5 miles of each other for 5 years to minimize disruption for Jack.
Anna’s perspective on co-parenting (2019):
“Grudge-holding is not something that Chris and I do. We wanted to make sure Jack was happy, but that we were happy and supportive of each other. Do we all spend Christmas together? Do we all vacation together? How do we make sure everybody we love feels safe, and that we also respect the love we have for each other?”
Anna’s relationship with Katherine Schwarzenegger (2022):
“We’re all getting much closer, and I so appreciate that. They’re very protective of me, and I want to be very protective of them. I so appreciate their support.”
Chris on Jack’s relationship with his half-siblings:
“There’s a big age separation… [and] he does a great job, he’s so sweet with them. And they love him so much, and they miss him when he’s gone.”
Anna’s Life After Divorce: New Marriage, Career Shifts & Near-Retirement
After her split from Chris, Anna Faris went through significant life changes:
Marriage to Michael Barrett
In July 2021, Anna accidentally revealed on her podcast “Anna Faris is Unqualified” that she had eloped with cinematographer Michael Barrett. She was interviewing a listener about relationship advice when she slipped:
“Looking around, my fiancé is right here… he’s now my husband. I apologize… I just kind of let that slip. I couldn’t call him fiancé anymore.”
Leaving Mom & Almost Quitting Acting
In 2020, Anna Faris shocked fans by leaving the CBS sitcom Mom after 7 seasons, despite the show being renewed for Season 8. Her character Christy Plunkett was not recast.
She later admitted she almost retired from acting entirely:
“I was like, ‘Do I have enough [money] to retire?’ It felt like the first time that I didn’t have my foot on the gas.”
After a 2-year hiatus, Anna returned to acting in 2022 with the film The Estate and directed/starred in the romantic comedy What Happens Later opposite David Duchovny.
Chris Pratt’s New Family & Career Success
Chris Pratt has built a new life with Katherine Schwarzenegger, daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. They married in 2019 and now share three children:
Career highlights since divorce:
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023, voice)
- Jurassic World franchise continuation
- Multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe appearances
Despite his Hollywood success, Chris has faced criticism from Anna’s fans over the years, particularly a 2025 Mother’s Day post that didn’t mention Anna. However, both have remained committed to putting Jack first.
Impact: A Model for Celebrity Co-Parenting
Anna and Chris’s approach to divorce has become a model for healthy celebrity co-parenting. Unlike many high-profile splits that turn contentious, they’ve managed to:
- Maintain mutual respect and avoid public feuds
- Include new spouses in the co-parenting dynamic without jealousy
- Prioritize Jack’s emotional wellbeing over personal grievances
- Appear publicly together for important milestones (graduations, holidays)
Why this matters:
With celebrity divorce rates remaining high, Anna and Chris demonstrate that amicable co-parenting is possible even after painful separations. Their 5-mile proximity agreement and willingness to spend holidays together sets an example for divorced parents worldwide.
