The One Thing That Hurt Chris Pratt In His Divorce

Chris Pratt's divorce from his ex-wife Anna Faris came as a shock to fans years ago. Pratt has moved on from Faris to his current wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, with whom he is expecting their second child. "I simply can't imagine how lost I'd be without you," Pratt recently praised his second wife on Instagram. "You're beautiful, tough as nails, reasonable, deeply thoughtful, extraordinarily smart, you're a complete boss, eternally driven and you communicate like no other."

While Pratt and Schwarzenegger seem genuinely happy to have found one another, Pratt's divorce from Faris wasn't an easy one for the Marvel star. Pratt and Faris wed in 2009 and later had their son, Jack, in 2012, per Us Weekly. Though the two actors seemed like a fairytale match, fans were devastated when their romance came to an end. "Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating," Pratt said in a 2017 statement, per CNN. "We tried hard for a long time, and we're really disappointed." While both stars vowed to respect one another for the sake of their son, one thing really hurt Pratt in his divorce from Faris.

Chris Pratt said his love for Anna Faris was basically love at first sight. The pair met as co-stars on the set of the 2007 comedy film "Take Me Home Tonight." Though Faris was married to actor Ben Indra at the time, Pratt said he knew instantly she was the one. "I knew I wanted to marry her pretty soon [after I met her,]" Pratt told People. "It took a while for me to admit it, because it would be crazy to be like, 'I want to marry you' the first day I met her. But I could have!"

Pratt said he and Farris were "meant to be together" during an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, according to Who. "Our relationship has made me believe in divine intervention and destiny, just as much as my crazy career and the way I fell into this life," he said. Because it seemed Pratt believed his marriage to Faris was fate, it hurt the star to move forward with their separation beginning in 2017.

​​"Divorce sucks," Pratt said of his split from Faris to Entertainment Weekly. "... we're finding a way to navigate this while still remaining friends and still being kind to one another." While the breakup stung, Pratt added that it was ultimately their best option. "It's not ideal, but yeah, I think both of us are actually probably doing better."

Though it hurt him, Chris Pratt's divorce from Anna Faris wasn't one-sided. Faris revealed she felt pushed into the divorce on her podcast "Anna Faris is Unqualified." "For me, I think after every breakup, at some point I realize that there were a lot of things I ignored that I really shouldn't have," Faris explained. "In hindsight, it felt like my hand was forced. I don't think it was ever an independent decision."

While they were still married, Faris reflected on the struggles they faced in the public eye. "I take pride in how great my relationship is with Chris, but having said that, of course, in this crazy world where he's off doing movies and I'm in L.A. raising our child, of course I'm going to feel vulnerable, like any normal human would," Faris said, per Us Weekly.

Opening up about their divorce to Women's Health in 2018, Faris said she and Pratt are good co-parents. "We reiterate that there aren't rules to this," she said. "We have a lot of love and friendship, and our big goal is to protect Jack." There's no bad blood between the divorced exes. In fact, Faris was excited for Pratt to marry Schwarzeneggar. "Sweet Chris, my ex, got engaged to Katherine today and I'm so happy for them," Faris announced on her "Unqualified" podcast, per Today. "... I love her and I love him. I'm just so happy that they found each other."
