Chris Pratt Managed to Find Love Again After His Divorce From Anna Faris and She Supported Him All the Way

When people build a family, they usually don’t assume that the relationship will ever end. But sometimes, even the strongest couples fall apart, and everyone has to find their own new path in life. Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have proven through their own experience that finding love doesn’t always mean breaking old ties.

Chris Pratt fell in love with Anna Faris at first sight

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris met on the set of Take Me Home Tonight. The actor later said that he was ready to propose to Anna on the very first day of their acquaintance. At the time, Faris was an international star, and Pratt was still waiting for the role that would bring him fame. Soon after filming ended, the couple started dating, and in 2009 they celebrated their small wedding in Bali.

Their marriage seemed perfect to those around them

Chris truly believed that he and Anna were destined to meet and fall in love. The actor never tired of thanking his wife for her help and support. Their marital happiness seemed cloudless, especially as Pratt’s career finally took off and he began to get big roles in interesting projects. At the same time, the couple tried to spend as much time together as possible and put family first.

In 2012, Chris and Anna announced they were expecting their first child. Their son Jack was born two months prematurely, and for some time doctors feared that this had caused permanent damage to the baby. The parents had to wait for 18 long months before they heard a more reassuring prognosis. Jack’s condition was not as serious as the doctors thought: he had minor problems with his leg muscles and his eyesight.

Rumours and unwanted attention ruined the actors’ relationship

Despite Chris and Anna’s genuine affection for each other, rumors surrounded the couple all the time. People whispered about Pratt’s infidelity. The couple talked a lot about it, but Anna still felt very insecure. On the other hand, it seemed to Chris that he just wasn’t worthy of such a wonderful and talented wife, and it undercut their relationship.

In 2017, the couple announced their separation. Anna later blamed much of it on the competitive spirit that is often present in a marriage of two actors. Faris noted that if she had not been such a proud person and had not hidden her vulnerability from her partner, the relationship could have been saved.

The actor was able to find love again in church

The divorce was a difficult ordeal for Chris and Anna. But the couple had a young son who needed the love and care of both parents, so the former spouses managed to maintain their affection and friendship. Pratt and Faris began to re-learn how to maintain a warm, respectful relationship and to discuss pressing matters without interfering in each other’s private lives.

A year after the break-up, they were each able to establish a personal life. Chris met writer Katherine Schwarzenegger at church. As it turned out later, the idea to bring the two together came to Katherine’s mother, Maria Shriver. Katherine’s family was pleased with the development of their relationship, and Arnold Schwarzenegger even joked that he dreamed of getting Chris as a son-in-law.

Katherine helped Chris and Anna maintain their friendship

Katherine wasn’t going to stop the ex-spouses from maintaining a good relationship. She and Chris, along with Anna and her new lover Michael Barrett, celebrated Halloween together. They organized a fun candy hunt for their son Jack. All the adults and the boy had a great time.

Chris decided to propose to Katherine, but before asking for her hand in marriage, he called Faris to tell her about it. Anna was delighted, and when Pratt and Schwarzenegger announced their engagement she was one of the first to congratulate them.

The couple loves spending time on the actor’s farm

Pratt calls the farm he bought his personal little paradise. Katherine also enjoys spending time in this cozy retreat. The couple has a passion for handling the animals and exploring their surroundings. Chris once said that he has always wanted to “work to live”, and not “live to work.” So he dreams of having a large family and wants to spend as much time as possible with his loved ones on the farm, enjoying fishing and sunsets.

Chris and Katherine never get tired of admiring each other

Katherine got lucky; her family always supported her in every endeavor and genuinely cared for her. When she was able to find the same warm relationship in her marriage, she felt truly blessed. Pratt lovingly helped his wife when she was pregnant with their first child and was sympathetic to her every whim.

However, Chris says that Katherine is the one who holds the whole family together. He never tires of admiring her maternal instincts. It is his wife who sets the main tone in parenting, and Pratt simply follows that path.

Chris’ son Jack spends a lot of time with his father and his new family

Chris is happy that his son and daughters get on so well. Despite the big age difference, Jack is affectionate with the girls and plays the role of big brother perfectly, and the little girls adore the boy and miss him a lot when he’s away. Jack spends a lot of time with his father’s new family and his mother, Anna, never gets tired of admiring the way Katherine gets on with her son.

The couple hopes that their family will grow even bigger

Chris and Katherine are raising two daughters, as well as often looking after Pratt’s son Jack. But the couple hope to have more children. Katherine has always been inspired by the example of her mother, Maria Shriver, who was able to combine a successful career and the raising of 4 offspring. Schwarzenegger considers herself lucky. From a young age she watched how her parents managed to balance work and family and learned a lot from them.

Chris, in general, dreams of having a dozen children. Now he’s not afraid of changing nappies for his youngest, Eloise, and he enjoys cooking for the older daughter, Lyla. All the more reason to eat leftover pizza and nuggets off the kids’ plates. After all, if the food has been prepared for the little ones, you don’t have to count the calories.

Katherine and Anna are friends and plan to spend the holidays together

It’s not just Chris and Katherine’s relationship that gets stronger every year. Over the past five years, Chris, Katherine, and Anna have all become considerably closer to each other. Faris notes that the couple are very protective of Katherine, and she really appreciates Pratt and Schwarzenegger’s support.

Anna married Michael Bennett and they’re raising his two children from a previous marriage. The families plan to spend weekends and holidays together in the future. So far, due to their busy schedules, they haven’t been able to put the idea into practice, but they’re confident that nothing will be able to stop their friendship.

Do you think friendship between ex-spouses is good for a new relationship?
