Anna Faris and Chris Pratt have kept true to their word about co-parenting their son Jack civilly. The little boy was seen with his mother on Saturday enjoying his time at a festival. The following day, Jack spent the day with his father enjoying an ice cream treat. Allison Janney, who stars on Mom alongside Anna Faris, said, “Anna’s a very courageous and strong girl and very professional and I love her so much, as do everyone.” She went on to add, “And we love Chris too. We love them both. It’s sad when, you know, people who have to go separate ways.”
The couple released a joint statement through Chris Pratt’s social media. The statement read, “Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating.” It continued saying, “We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed. 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.”
Anna Faris later offered words of advice to individuals who listen to her podcast. She said, “Hey, dear listeners. I just want to thank you all so much for all the love I’ve been receiving, and I truly love you.” She went on to respond to someone who had called in and stated, “Life is too short to be in relationships where you feel this isn’t fully right or somebody doesn’t have your back, or somebody doesn’t fully value you.”
She continued, “Don’t be afraid to feel your independence if things aren’t right.” Anna Faris implied that there may have been some difficulties in her marriage and said, “I made that mistake, I think, a little bit, like ‘I’m checking my relationship off the list’ and if that would be the final piece of advice I could give you, that would be know your worth, know your independence.” Perhaps this is a clue as to why the famous couple split.
Recently, an informant mentioned that the couple was attending couple’s counseling. The source stated, “It’s the first time they’ve ever been in counseling together and it only happened after they split.” The insider continued, “They have committed to it. They are trying to keep the pressure low by doing it out of the spotlight, but there is still a lot of love between them.” Unfortunately, this does not mean that the pair are looking to work things out. Many people go to counseling to try to work through communication issues so they can successfully co-parent their child. It makes it less stressful on the child, and all parties involved for that matter, if the parents are not constantly screaming at one another.
Another source stated, “They are going through couples counseling now, which is what you do when you want to divorce and there are children involved.” They went on to add that, “It won’t likely change the status of the relationship, but it could help with their future co-parenting.” They continued, “Chris and Anna have vowed to keep the divorce as amicable as possible and to not bad mouth each other. Hopefully they can stick with that, for their son’s sake, as well as each other’s. They’re both fully committed to co-parenting and providing Jack with a stable and happy home environment. He’s their number one priority.”
Hopefully, everything will all turn out for the better, whether the two remain apart, or get back together. We should hope that things continue to remain civil between the two for the sake of their son, Jack.
