JAKARTA - Anna Faris is back talking about her divorce from Chris Pratt, something she rarely discusses publicly. The Scary Movie 6 actress admitted that the time was hard, especially because of the public spotlight after their separation.
Based on a report by HuffPost, quoted Tuesday, June 16, Faris discussed this in a recent interview with Variety. Faris and Pratt were married for eight years before separating in 2017. Their divorce was official in 2018.
"I feel sad," Faris said in an interview published Saturday.
Faris said he felt he had enough courage and self-confidence to face that time. However, after 26 years in the entertainment world, he admitted that fame had shaped him.
"But, damn. The spotlight," Faris said, referring to the public pressure he felt.
Faris and Pratt have a son, Jack, who is now 13 years old. Faris said his podcast, Anna Faris is Unqualified, became one of the support systems during the divorce.
"I didn't reveal much personal stuff on the podcast, but I always felt like I could if needed. The podcast helped me a lot during that time," said Faris.
After divorcing Pratt, Faris married cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021. Pratt remarried Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019. Pratt and Schwarzenegger now have three children.
In October 2017, Faris told People that he and the Guardians of the Galaxy star remained close and focused on raising Jack together.
"We will always have each other and be amazing friends," Faris said at the time. He also said there was still a lot of laughter in their relationship after breaking up.
Pratt also discussed the divorce in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2018.
"Divorce is painful," Pratt said.
However, he stressed that they still tried to maintain a good relationship for the sake of their children.
"At the end of the day, we have an amazing child who has two parents who love him very much. We are trying to navigate this situation while still being friends and still being kind to each other," Pratt said.
