Anna Faris Responds To Chris Pratt's Divorce Comments
Anna Faris totally agrees with her ex — getting divorced sucks.
On Thursday, April 19, 2018, the Mom star responded to Chris Pratt's recent comments on the former couple's split during her interview with Michael Yo on SiriusXM Hits 1.
"We have a great relationship, we really do and we always have," she began, adding that she "completely" agrees with the former Parks and Recreation star's assessment. "It's always tough to envision your futures as one thing, but I think there's a lot of love."
Faris continued, "In what we do, there's so much [unpredictability]. I think that it's a lesson learned a little bit in terms of keeping relationships a little more private potentially, even though I don't wanna. I pride myself on being a pretty open person, but I don't know. It's tough when you're under the scrutiny."
When asked about the notion of "selfish love," she said, "I think that it means valuing yourself. I mean ... I was such an insecure kid that ... if anybody remotely attractive liked me, I was just completely smitten. Like, 'I can't believe the popular guy likes me!' And I think that my mama was always trying to reiterate like, 'value yourself, value yourself.' And we talk about that on the podcast [Unqualified] a lot, about how women tend to not have as strong of egos as men and don't necessarily prioritize themselves."
As Nicki Swift previously reported, Pratt broke his silence on their divorce earlier this week, bluntly telling Entertainment Weekly, "Divorce sucks. But at the end of the day, we've got a great kid who's got two parents who love him very much. And we're finding a way to navigate this while still remaining friends and still being kind to one another."
The Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom star added, "It's not ideal, but yeah, I think both of us are actually probably doing better."
Faris, 41, and Pratt, 38, had announced their separation in August 2017 after eight years of marriage. That December, both actors filed for divorce at the same time, citing irreconcilable differences. They are both seeking joint custody of their 5-year-old son, Jack.
In addition to being on the same page with how they feel after calling it quits, the two remain focused on successfully co-parenting their son amid their amicable breakup. "He's surrounded by so much love," Faris, who is reportedly dating cinematographer Michael Barrett, told E! News earlier this year. "We constantly reinforce what a great kid he is."
