Yesterday, Hollywood’s golden couple Chris Pratt and Anna Faris announced their joint decision to end their eight-year marriage with a statement shared to their social media accounts.
“Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed,” Chris shared to Facebook.
“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. We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another,” the actor continued.
Fans quickly began speculating as to the reason for the couple’s marital breakdown, with many pointing the finger straight at Pratt’s Passengers co-star Jennifer Lawrence.
Back in 2015, while Lawrence and Pratt were filming the movie, persistent cheating rumours surrounded the pair.
“[That] stung a little bit harder than I thought it would,” Faris told Us Weekly of the gossip at the time.
“It’s been a little devastating because for us, it’s like, ‘What the heck?’. This has been blindsiding to us. We have an incredible relationship. It has been weirdly stinging,” she continued.
Now, with the announcement of their separation, the internet is immediately turning on Lawrence, blaming her – with, may we point out, not a shred of evidence – for wrecking a family.
ICYMI, Lawrence has been dating her director boyfriend, Darren Aronofsky, for well over a year now. Pining over Chris? Doesn’t look like it.
And not that it matters to Twitter, but there is no proof, nor has there ever been, that Lawrence and Pratt were ever more than co-workers.
Side note: There’s a four-year-old boy to think of here, people.
