Chris Pratt, Anna Faris’s former, and the actress are currently in the process of starting a contemporary family.

The Mom actress said while promoting her upcoming film, The Estate, a comedy co-starring Kathleen Turner, Toni Collette, and David Duchovny, that she and Pratt’s family, which includes his second wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, are doing well. The Estate opens in theaters on Friday.

Faris, who tied the knot with cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021, expressed her gratitude for the group’s growing intimacy by saying, “I so love it.” “I want to be extremely protective of them because they’re quite protective of me, and I value their support so much,” she said.

After starring together in the film Take Me Home Tonight, actress Anna Faris and actor Chris Pratt tied the knot in July 2009. They welcomed their son Jack, who is now 10 years old, in 2012, but in August 2017 they declared that they were no longer together.

After that, Pratt wed Katherine Schwarzenegger in June 2019, and the couple now has two daughters: Eloise, who is six months old, and Lyla, who is two years old.

The way that everything has worked out, according to Faris, makes her “glad.”

“And the passage of time has made things feel just a whole lot simpler,” she remarked. “And” “It feels really amazing to not have to deal with that ongoing ugliness that’s going on inside of me,” I said.

She used the word “amazing” to characterize Schwarzenegger, who is the daughter of the famous actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger as well as the journalist Maria Shriver.

“She’s just on top of it,” the other person commented about her. “I adore the way that she interacts with Jack.”

In point of fact, Faris is open to the possibility that her family, which includes Barrett’s two children from a previous marriage, may spend the holidays with the Pratts.

She says, “I’m sorry that we won’t be able to spend Thanksgiving together, but I really do hope that we can share other holidays.” “And I do believe that we are able to. But for the time being, we are unable to go due to duties that we have to our family.”

Barrett joined her while she was in New Orleans because her most recent role required her to be there.

According to Faris, “We quickly came to the conclusion that we did not wish to be separated.” “I really value the fact that I am able to maintain a feeling of safety and security throughout the day.”
