The announcement of Chris Pratt and Anna Faris’ separation after eight years of marriage shocked the world, with many deciding the end of Hollywood’s cutest couple confirmed that love is well and truly dead.
However, Faris’ friend, actress Kristen Bell says we shouldn’t be so quick to throw in the towel.
“If there are two people that decide not to be together, it shouldn’t really be a heartbreak for everyone,” she told E! News when asked about the split.
“You should say, ‘Oh, they tried. But that doesn’t discount the lovely years they had together.’ If I ever get divorced, I’m still going to be like, ‘Wow, I loved being married to that man.'”
“I don’t necessarily know that it’s ‘Hollywood’ that gets in the way,” Bell added when asked whether she thinks Pratt’s rising fame was the reason for the marriage breakdown.
“The reality is when you’re working in this industry you’re sometimes shooting a movie in China for four months.”
“You’re away from your family for four months. I think it’s more the separation than anything that can weigh on people.”
Bell also noted that a marriage takes a lot of work – even when you’re rich and famous and attending red carpet events every other day.
“We go to couple’s therapy,” she revealed. “We make sure that we’re talking with respect to each other. When we sit down to have a disagreement it’s a disagreement, not an argument.”
