It’s hard to forget how happy Parks and Recreation’s Chris Pratt and Scary Movie’s Anna Faris once were when they were together. They got married in 2009, and fans have seen their journey from their red carpet moments to the birth of their son Jack in 2012. But like many relationships, theirs couldn’t last the pressures of fame and shifting priorities. In August 2017, they announced they were getting a divorce after eight years of being together.

Their divorce was finalized in late 2018, as part of the agreement, they committed to sharing custody of their son Jack and even agreed to live no more than five miles apart for some years.

When Did Chris Pratt and Anna Faris Divorce?

This year on Thanksgiving, Anna Faris dropped off their 13-year-old son Jack so he could join Chris at a volunteer event in Los Angeles, helping feed the homeless. For many fans, the most striking moment came when the two shared a friendly hug.

That brief, warm embrace went viral almost instantly. People responded not just to the image, but to what it symbolized: years after their breakup, despite leading separate lives with new partners and new children, they still prioritize Jack’s well-being. For Faris and Chris Pratt, it seems the split wasn’t about bitter endings it was about ensuring stability and love for their son.

In public statements over the years, both have spoken about how, even after divorce, they wanted to remain respectful, kind, and cooperative for Jack’s sake. Reports suggest their co-parenting arrangement has held up well, with mutual respect and understanding.

In a world where celebrity breakups often end in public feuds, this hug mattered: it offered a rare picture of amicable separation, shared responsibility, and the enduring bond over a child.

It’s impossible to know what goes on behind closed doors, but this Thanksgiving moment simple, human, and real speaks volumes. For Chris Pratt and Anna Faris, divorce didn’t mean the end of family: it meant redefining what it looked like.
