Chris Pratt and Anna Faris

According to E News, Pratt told fans that they had both tried really hard to save their relationship. He said he was disappointed that it had to end like this. Pratt also asked that fans respect their privacy, according to CNN. He said that it was important to them both that their son was able to still respect both of his parents and know that he is loved by them both.
Faris spoke about the legal separation for the first time during a podcast on Tuesday last week. She told fans that it is important for everyone to remember their self-worth, even when they are in a relationship.
According to E News, Faris said that she may have been too keen to be in a relationship that she just jumped in and forgot her independence.
