Chris Pratt is proving that breakups don’t always have to mean bad blood. Before proposing to Katherine Schwarzenegger, the Guardians of the Galaxy star made a surprising call—to his ex-wife, Anna Faris. In a refreshingly mature move, Chris wanted to give Anna a heads-up about his plans.
Anna revealed the thoughtful gesture during her appearance on the Divorce Sucks! podcast. “He called me and said, ‘So, I’m going to ask Katherine to marry me. Just wanted to give you a heads-up,’” she shared. Her response? Typical Anna—full of positivity. “That’s awesome!” she said, showing just how supportive their post-divorce relationship is.
The Epitome of Friendly Exes
This wasn’t just a courtesy call—it’s emblematic of how well Chris and Anna have handled their split. Since finalizing their divorce in 2018 after eight years of marriage, the duo has maintained a strong co-parenting relationship, prioritizing their 11-year-old son, Jack. “Grudge-holding? Not our thing,” Anna said, emphasizing their focus on harmony.
Their co-parenting arrangement includes living within five miles of each other until Jack finishes sixth grade, and they’ve even celebrated holidays together with their new partners. Last Halloween, the blended family joined forces for trick-or-treating, proving that modern families can truly redefine traditional dynamics.
A Sweet Engagement Announcement
When Chris officially proposed to Katherine in 2019, he couldn’t contain his joy, posting on Instagram: “Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I am proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go!” Anna, as supportive as ever, sent a text congratulating him and hilariously reminded Chris of her credentials: “Just reminding you—I’m an ordained minister!”
Moving On With Grace
While Chris Pratt and Katherine are enjoying their fairy-tale romance, Anna has also found happiness with cinematographer Michael Barrett. Despite their separate lives, Chris and Anna’s mutual respect and love for their son have kept things amicable and drama-free.
In Anna’s words, “I’m just so happy we’re all delighted.” Their story is a masterclass in handling life after divorce—proving that with maturity and communication, exes can set an example worth admiring.
