Sad News
When Faris and Pratt announced their separation in August 2017, they admitted that their focus was their son’s happiness. “We tried really hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed,” they said in a joint statement at the time of their then-4-year-old. “Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep the situation as private as possible moving forward. We still love each other and will always cherish our time together.”
Only Good Things to Say
Two months after announcing the split, Faris released her book, Unqualified, which featured a foreword written by Pratt. The Guardians of the Galaxy actor had nothing but amazing things to say about his ex and told readers that the memoir is a “face-first dive into the mind and person that I spent one amazing decade with, and will, for the rest of my life, amicably coparent a human.”
All for Their Son
How do the actors stay so positive despite their split? They think about Jack constantly. “I think it’s just the general idea of just making sure that he’s surrounded by a lot of love and happiness,” Faris told Us in January 2018. “We’re really good at that and we have amazing friends and incredible family and we have, like, just the most amazing resources to make sure that he feels safe and protected and happy. And so far, he is.”
A Tough Situation
The Everwood alum got candid about going through a divorce in an April 2018 interview with Entertainment Weekly. “Divorce sucks,” he said bluntly. “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.”
Putting in Effort
While the House Bunny actress and Jurassic World actor make coparenting look easy, Faris admitted in January 2019 that it’s a constant effort. She explained on her “Unqualified” podcast, “Chris and I work really hard ‘cause we have Jack ... that is sort of the long game idea. Making sure Jack is really happy ... makes us really happy.”
Love on the Brain
Faris was thrilled when Pratt texted her after he proposed to Schwarzenegger in January 2019. In fact, she said on her podcast that the only uncomfortable thing was that people expected her to be upset by the engagement news when she was actually very excited. “I so subscribe to the idea of, like, expanding, like, family and love with Jack,” the Overboard actress explained. “[Katherine’s] awesome.”
Blended Family
Faris opened up about her dynamic with Schwarzenegger and how she is an “awesome” stepmom to Jack. “She’s just on top of it. I love how she is with Jack,” Faris said in an interview with People in November 2022. The actress added that she was appreciative that the whole family was “getting much closer.”
