Chris Pratt and Anna Faris have announced they are separating after eight years of marriage.
Pratt, 38, and Faris, 40, met in 2007 on the set of the comedy “Take Me Home Tonight” and got married two years later. Their son, Jack, was born in 2012.
While both have been working steadily as actors for awhile, Pratt rocketed to A-list status in recent years — as he wrapped up a seven-season stint as the goofy Andy Dwyer on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” he landed a starring role in the massive “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Jurassic World” franchises. Faris’s career also got a big boost as the co-lead in “Mom,” the successful CBS sitcom that debuted in 2013.
The actors announced their break-up on social media on Sunday night, writing that they tried to make their marriage work for a long time and are disappointed they could not succeed.
“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 and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward,” Pratt wrote in a statement on facebook. “We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another.”
One fan on Twitter summed it up: “Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are getting a divorce and in other news love is dead and there’s no hope for any of us.
