Chris Pratt Breaks His Silence On His Divorce From Anna Faris

Could our hearts break any more? - by Anna McClelland
  • 19 Apr 2018

When Chris Pratt and Anna Faris announced the end of their eight-year marriage in August 2017, hearts broke the world over. Was love officially dead? It looked that way.

"Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed," Chris shared to Facebook at the time.

But apart from that bleak announcement, Pratt has never spoken publicly about the high-profile split - until now.

"Divorce sucks," Pratt told Entertainment Weekly. "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. It's not ideal, but yeah, I think both of us are actually probably doing better."

Faris has previously opened up about the former couple's co-parenting arrangement, telling E! News in January: “I think the key is surrounding him with a lot of joy and happiness, which he has a ton of.”

The actress has also spoken about her new views on marriage after walking down the aisle twice.

“I need to figure out what the purpose is,” the 41-year-old explained on friend Dax Shepard's podcast. “Is it safety for your children? Is it convention? Is it so other people respect your relationship more?”

Faris added: “For me, I’m just not quite sure where it fits…I am a romantic. I believe in a partnership, I believe in companionship. I just don’t know if I believe in a ceremony of a wedding.”
