Chris Pratt and Anna Faris shared a dreadful news on Monday with their fans: They are separating after eight years of marriage. A wave of shock spread online about the end of one of Hollywood’s most popular couples.
The actors, married since 2009, announced their split on social media on Facebook and Instagram.
“We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed,” the actors wrote. “Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward. We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another.”
Chris stars in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and Anna stars on CBS’ comedy Mom. They have a 4-year-old son, Jack.
The actors were publicly supportive of each other in their work and on social media. Pratt guest-starred as Faris’ love interest on Mom earlier this year, and the couple laughed and kissed in April when Pratt was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
