Anna Faris and Chris Pratt were one ofthoseloved-up couples in Hollywood for the decade they were together.
Like many actor-couples, the pair first met on the set of a movie they did together in 2007, and a year later they were dating. By 2009 they were engaged and married, with Pratt telling the press: "I knew I wanted to marry her pretty soon after I met her. 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!"
And in 2012, they welcomed their first child – a son named Jack.
For the next five years, the couple shared the behind-the-scenes of their relationship, talking about one another fondly in interviews. The heartfelt tributes were common, including one at Pratt's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.
He said in his speech addressing Faris: "With every challenge, with every day, week, month, decade, we become more bonded. You make me laugh like nobody else. You have my heart, my dedication, my trust."
Four months later, the pair https://www.mamamia.com.au/anna-faris-chris-pratt-split announced their divorce.

After eight years of marriage, the pair said in a joint statement: "Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time, and we're really disappointed. Our son has two parents who love him very much."
Here's what they've both been up to since their divorce.
Anna Faris.
Faris met and fell in love with cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2017 just after her split from Pratt. They met on the set ofOverboard,which starred Faris.
"We had an immediate kind of intimacy," Faris told PEOPLE in 2021. "We're both probably introverts in a very similar way. And he has two children and that has been awesome. I've really learned a lot about myself through his kids. It's been really rewarding."
She also said their blended family had spent time bonding during the COVID-19 lockdown travelling in a camper van.
"We bought a camper van and travelled with a portable printer for school," she said. "Jack has been handling this whole thing like a champ. I just feel very happy that my family is safe. And I don't think I've ever been so present."
Then in July 2021, Farris and Barrett married. She later shared on her podcast that they had decided to elope in Washington State at a local courthouse.
Faris hasn't had any children with Barrett, with her only child (Jack) shared between herself and Pratt.
In 2021, she reflected on her son's traumatic birth at the Global Alliance to Prevent Prematurity and Stillbirth gala event.
"I was 35 – a geriatric pregnancy, as my ob-gyn delicately put it and I had been having what I thought was a pretty amazing pregnancy. So when I woke up in the middle of the night in a small puddle of fluid, I truly didn't have any idea what to do."
Her son Jack was born seven weeks premature.
"The first years of Jack's life were filled with doctor's appointments, five surgeries, physical therapy, a lot of laughter – because Jack was and is the most adorable, cutest thing I could ever have imagined."
As for what Faris' life looks like now, she recently finished up on the hit sitcomMom, and she also has a very successful podcast called Unqualified. She's had some very notable guests on the podcast including Brooke Shields, Matthew McConaughey, Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow and Paris Hilton.
She also uses the podcast to give a few updates of her life.
"My two other marriages [first with Ben Indra and Chris Pratt] were with actors, and I don't think we did a great job of eliminating competitiveness. Or at least I didn't, being a proud person, and not wanting to reveal vulnerability," she shared on her podcast.
She also said to Glennon Doyle that she would advise her son not to get married at a young age.
"I don't know if it's too grumpy and cruel to say, but if I could tell my eight-year-old son one thing that maybe he would stick to, I would really encourage him to not get married in his 20s."
It appears from the looks of things that Faris and Pratt have remained close and amicable co-parents since the split.
They have celebrated Halloween regularly since by taking their son Jack trick-or-treating together while also bringing their respective partners along.
"Along with [their partners], they all took Jack trick-or-treating in Pacific Palisades," a source told PEOPLE. "It seems they all get along really well. Everyone had a good time. They were making an effort to make sure Jack had a great Halloween."
Chris Pratt.
In June 2018, Pratt started dating Katherine Schwarzenegger, the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then, after less than a year of dating, the pair got engaged in January 2019.
Before Pratt announced the engagement news publicly, he got in contact with Faris. She reflected on the exchange in her podcast.
"Chris texted me this morning and he was like, you know, 'I proposed to Katherine last night'. And I was like, 'Ah! That's amazing'. And I texted him back, 'Just want to remind you, I'm an ordained minister'," she joked, adding that she's "not very good at it".
"I knew that it was going to happen. I love her, and I love him, and I'm just so happy that they found each other. The truth is, there isn't any bitterness and I'm just so happy we're all really happy."
By June 2019, they were married.
