Did Chris Pratt Cheat on Anna Faris?
Not all fairy tales have happy endings! When Chris Pratt andAnna Farisannounced their split after eight years of marriage, it sent ripples through Hollywood. Their love story began in 2007 on the set ofTake Me Home Tonight, where the former couple shared the screen as love interests.
So, why did this seemingly perfect pair decide to call it quits? Well, when rumors of an alleged affair between Pratt and hisPassengersco-star,Jennifer Lawrence, surfaced in 2016, it hit Faris like a ton of bricks. Sheopened upabout her feelings in her autobiography,Unqualified, stating she was “hurt” by the gossip—even though she knew deep down that there was no truth to the stories.
Faris recounted a particularly revealing moment, saying:
I talked to Chris about how hurt I felt, even though I knew there was no truth to the stories [that he cheated on her], and he didn’t understand at first…
Jennifer and I really are friendly, and she was apologetic even though she didn’t need to be, because she hadn’t done anything wrong. She’s awesome, but of course it’s hurtful and also embarrassing when people are saying your husband is cheating on you – even if it’s patently untrue. You still feel, and look, like a fool.
As the rumors swirled, Faris recalled how her publicist had warned her about the media frenzy surrounding her ex-husband’s on-screen partnership with Lawrence.
Well, now, both Pratt and Faris have moved on with their lives. While the former is happily married to Katherine Schwarzenegger, Faris is now married to cinematographer Michael Barrett.

Oh, God, he is just… he’s amazing. I love him so much. He’s just a ball of joy. He’s terrific.
Seriously, if there was an award for proud dad gushing, Pratt would have it in the bag. He went on to say:
He is just so perfect and I love him so much.
While the years following Jack Pratt’s birth included a fair share of doctor’s visits, few surgeries, and physical therapy, they were also packed with laughter.“A lot of laughter—because Jack was and is the most adorable cutest thing I could ever have imagined,”his mother, 47,sharedin 2021 at an event for the Global Alliance to Prevent Prematurity and Stillbirth.
Now, at the age of 12, Jack Pratt has blossomed into what his proud parents describe as a “remarkable” kid with an excellent sense of humor and wisdom beyond his years.
