Yesterday afternoon/evening, People Magazine published a story about how Chris Pratt attended the premiere and after-party for Ingrid Goes West, the Aubrey Plaza movie. Pratt and Plaza are friends, and they’ve known each other for years from working on Parks & Rec. The People Mag story made it sound like Pratt was just there to support his friend, that he seemed to be in a good mood, and that he was joking around with everyone. The timing of that story is somewhat suspicious for a lot of reasons, especially given that it was published in the wake of Pratt and Anna Faris’s separation announcement. Meanwhile, TMZ had this story about what was really going down between Anna and Chris:
Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are going their separate ways not because of some third party in their marriage, not because one of them did something unforgivable … they split because they each have very different views of what a family should be. Our sources say Anna wants a family that is pretty much together most of the time. She wants a base … which for her has been Los Angeles. We’re told she wants more kids. The upshot … Anna wants a traditional family.
Chris, on the other hand, has had some life-changing experiences that has required him to adjust the balance between family and career. When he married Anna back in 2009, she was much bigger than him. He’s now at the top of the Hollywood food chain, and with that comes opportunities that take him all over the world, shooting movies that take him away from home for months at a time. Our sources say he doesn’t want more kids … at least not in the foreseeable future, because he can’t juggle a growing family with his career. And he can’t be corralled in one place — even L.A. — because that’s not the way the movie industry works.
That said, we’re told they have an unbreakable bond in son Jack. They are devoted parents, both separately and together and they are determined to keep it that way. Our sources say there are other personal reasons for the split, but the way they see family in the long-term was a big factor in their decision. Finally, our sources say both Chris and Anna are incredibly sad over the end of their relationship. Although she says they’ve separated, we’re told they have already set the wheels in motion for divorce, which we’re told will be as amicable as it gets.
I think this is Team Pratt’s side of things, although I could be wrong. I see this as Pratt doing some clean-up on his image, assuring the public that he hasn’t cheated on his wife, and that they will always co-parent. Can you imagine if TMZ reported that Anna was the one who didn’t want more kids, that she was the one who wanted to travel and live an actor’s life? She would be pilloried in the press. That being said, I sort of feel like Team Pratt is actually protecting Faris, because I don’t necessarily believe that she was the one who wanted more kids and a stable home life. I think he wanted that, and she had other issues. That’s all I’ll say.

Well that’s an interesting explanation. Doesnt TMZ typically side with the male and give the male perspective on issues, etc?
I wish both Chris, Anna and Jack all the best going forward.
TMZ will side with their best connection
I really don’t know what to make of this at all. I will say that I used to really enjoy her and her work – until I started listening to her podcast. It was all so self indulgent and weird – I stopped listening awhile ago because I found her so off putting.
I assume we’ll never know the “truth” here, but maybe they did just grow apart?
How was it weird?
She slurs a lot of her words and goes on weird tangents all the time. Lainey has had BIs about her having a drinking problem, and it’s really noticeable. She sounded so drunk on How Did This Get Made? podcast a few weeks. Like completely unintelligible.
^ Yes to all of this. At first, it sounded like a pretty interesting concept – part call in/advice show, part interviews. But it quickly devolved into very random bits of whining and inside jokes… it was… weird… I listed to A LOT of podcasts (including some which are very roughly produced) and it takes a lot for me to stop listening to one… but I only made it through maybe 20 or 25 episodes.
The few times I listened, I also found it offputting and it made me like her a bit less, too. Part of my lack of affection for Unqualified is personal preference, as I’m not huge on raunchy talk. I don’t find it offensive, so much as boring and kind of juvenile. But the parts that made me like her less, was more the ditzy, save-me-big-strong-man type of talk that made her sound like a 16-year-old trying to impress the star quarterback at a house party. Also, the “advice” they gave was … pretty awful. For breakups it was all you’re great, they’re terrible and for the lovelorn it was all you’re amazing, they’re so lucky you want them, ignoring any and all red flags waving broadly in the breeze. She was, though, pretty open, or appeared to be, talking a lot about her husband, their family life, etc. so I wonder what to expect from future episodes.
if that was his side of things – oof. it doesn’t make him sound too great.
Totally agree. Here he chose his career over her career and their family
Yeah. It’s really sad. I think this is definitely her side of things. The way it’s phrased… it just sounds like family is not a priority for him. I mean, who knows what this really means. Maybe she’s more of a homebody and he wants to party more. It could be anything.
It doesn’t sound like either of them was on the same page. I don’t think the different fame levels helped either. The trading off of filming times/home duties can be done but only if both partners are into it. I remember reading how Kevin Bacon took care of the home in NYC awhile Kyra Sedgwick filmed her TV show in LA. Or once you reach a certain fame level (or your kids are young) you also have more than enough resources to bring your kids along and have them homeschooled for a semester by a tutor or a governess. It doesn’t sound like either was willing to compromise and let’s be honest, scheduling and separation only ended the marriage because they allowed it too. There’s more to it, I have no doubt.
I do hope their son is well now. He had some very tough issues (not uncommon for severely premature babies). I’m not looking for an update as it is not my business as to where he’s at now, but whatever special needs he may have I sincerely hope he’s healthy.
I guess I’m not seeing how either look bad in this story, if he doesn’t want more kids and a traditional family life that doesn’t make him bad. It also doesn’t say he is choosing her career over his child like others have said he can bring him to set. Anna isn’t wrong for not wanting that life for her kid just like he isn’t wrong for wanting it.
This looks like two people who decided they wanted different types of lives and that happens people evolve careers change and sometimes you work it out and sometimes you can’t.
I don’t see a good or bad person in this.
I don’t either. He has to take these career opportunities while he can because his career will ebb and flow. There is no waiting for him. She doesn’t want that. I am sure there is a host of other reasons but this doesn’t sound wrong.
Why though? If this is true, it’s kind of natural. I’m not talking about the separation, but not wanting more kids. Why is that a decision women are encouraged to make nowadays but not men? Pratt’s career has exploded, he clearly loves it and it’s a fair choice if he didn’t want to have more kids. If anything, it speaks well of him not wanting to have kids he’d be leaving alone often. Anna has a stable job doing a TV show, so it’s different for her.
That being said, I doubt this is the only reason why they would separate.
It may be more like he doesn’t want to have another child with a woman who can’t care for a house pet. They are both terrible people.
Idk, for me personally it’s coming off like “I don’t want more kids, AND I’m so so busy that I’m not going to be able to invest in spending more time with my existing kids.”
I think they would’ve made it work, if it could work. Plenty of couples with kids, famous and not, make the family life work even if one member travels often. I don’t buy this excuse he’s given, I feel like there’s more to the story.
And good on him if he is trying to protect her image by making himself the fall guy. If she’s a sloppy, insecure drunk he could just as easily sell her out.
You don’t want more kids, Chris? Then get a vasectomy so going forward you won’t have any more kids.
Well he said not at this time. Which I get he’s filming a lot. Why get a procedure when you may want kids in another year or two?
This doesn’t come off as the usual TMZ glowing male perspective which makes me think this is closer to the truth than normal TMZ divorce talk
But Anna Farris is older than him.How many time can she wait ?
She’s not even 40 yet and their son is 5. Another year wouldn’t have done much.
Essentially this is a talk you have before you get married.
A lot about their lives has changed since they got married, though.
i’m sure they did have this talk before they were married – however – i believe they had trouble conceiving their son and a traumatic birth event. mabye their family plans didn’t go as expected and now that he’s super mega famous he’s not interested on being on anyone’s schedule but his own. sounds like he does want more kids later…with someone else.
They could freeze some eggs and go with a surrogate too – it’s not like they’re ‘regular’ folks – and the more exposure and work he’s doing the higher his going rate. There are lots of options.
@ Nicole
But their lives were totally different when they got married. They had no reason to expect he’d become a huge movie star and his priorities might shift. That happens sometimes, an unexpected job opportunity or other life event upends what you thought your life would be, and what you agreed on when you got married no longer stands.
Anna is 40, she turns 41 in November.
Truth a lot has changed. Sounds like neither was willing to bend or compromise. Not much to do beyond that unfortunately
Being at the top of the food chain in Hollywood usually doesn’t last long, it’s smart to take advantage of it while you can and it sounds like that’s his priority right now. I would also assume he was looking for an out on his marriage anyway and using this as an excuse. If they truly wanted to stay married they would be able to work it all out.
A bit of a harsh way to parse “… at least not in the foreseeable future, because he can’t juggle a growing family with his career.”
He’s a man and has decades more to decide if he wants to have more children. Faris is the one with limited number of years left to have another child. I feel that Pratt will definitely have more children in the future after his career cools down. He has the money to have as many children as he wants, and he seems like the type who would want at least 1 or 2 more children later in life with a much younger woman. That’s how a lot of these men roll. Unfortunately for Faris, if she wants a child she better start seriously dating again in the next 2 years to find the next father of her child, or freeze any eggs she has left. She already had a complicated pregnancy the first time around when she was much younger, not sure if she will be able to have more children.
Why does everyone think Anna has (substance abuse)issues? I’m really curious cuz it’s never been brought up on this page or Dlisted (the only two celeb sites I read) before and now all of a sudden she has em
It’s been brought up in a few places under the blind items of sites that are usually fairly credible (including laineygossip). I have no idea if it is true but if it is, the one person who really should be protected here is the child. Leaving your child with an alcoholic mother while you galavant around the world making silly movies is a new level of douchiness. So for everyone’s sake I hope it’s not. We will see what custody looks like.
This might be the way to protect him best, then. There are often a lot of limits as far as protecting kids from crazy/addict parents, especially when it’s the mom. And silly or not, the movies are his livelihood and his ability to earn this kind of money won’t last forever. Considering he was well into his 30’s when he hit it big, he probably knows this and it’s smart to capitalize on it now.
She recognized she had a drinking problem after her 1st divorce and Lainey ( who never is biaised on her fav “roll eyes”) wrote a blind saying Farris has a drunk problem and fertility issue
My bet : If She has a drinking issue ,maybe it is because her marriage was fallen out and it is how she tries to deal with her marital trouble.
She always sounds drunk to me.
She sounds ” Goldie Hawn”
I don’t know any authoritative sources on substance abuse, but I listened to a “How Did This Get Made?” podcast episode on which she was the guest. She barely talked for the first three-quarters of the podcast and then at the end she had several heavily slurred, rambly, nonsensical remarks. It seemed like she was on something. This was late last year, I think. So if it did come out she has a problem, I would look back at that podcast and not be surprised.
I looked that podcast up on YouTube and the first comment is “Holy sh*t, Anna Faris is F***ED UP”
The Lainey blind implied she was drinking on the set of Mom and they were having to reshoot scenes because of it. She also said Anna was showing up on red carpets and journalists weren’t comfortable using the footage they had with her. I imagine she’ll reference that blind item in her post today.
I’m surprised they’ve been able to keep it quiet for this long though. I imagine it’s something that all the tabloids know about and just aren’t reporting. Kinda like when they covered for Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus all the way back in 2013.
There were huge red flags. She reminds me of Jessica Simpson, a functioning alcoholic in combination with something else probably. Honestly if this has been going on for a while it’s the best and smartest choice to stick with the 1 child you have instead of trying for a band-aid baby. Anna needs to sort her addiction out.
If women can leave/separate from men with addiction issues, so can men. He would be gone most of the time anyway so how would having another child be fair when your career is on the upswing? Who knows how long this might last, he needs to take every opportunity and the consequences (not seeing his family that often) are his to bear. Most Hollywood children get raised by nannies essentially anyway.
Artemis I agree with you. It sounds like she has addiction problems.
There are careers that never quite happened because the actor didn’t take advantage when they should have.
This is the Lainey blind everyone is talking about
http://www.laineygossip.com/Alls-not-perfect-blind-riddle/41306
And Lainey just pretty much said today that Anna has substance abuse issues, was also having fertility issues, Chris has stood by her for years, but he’s just done. No infidelity.
I thought she sounded messed up on the snippet of podcast I listened to also! There might be an element of douchey “upgrading” here and I don’t think Chris Pratt is completely without blame but when you have one romantic partner that drinks all the time to excess or is an alcoholic and one who avoids alcohol or isn’t. There is going to be friction. There’s just no common ground there. It’s very hard to live with even high functioning alcoholism or even deal with it on a routine basis. She just does not seem stable to me at all, tbh. But I hope she pulls through and gets it together and I hope he doesn’t immediately run to a rebound or a 20 year old instamodel. Remember that thing with their dogs? These two just don’t seem like a functional pair, both have some things it seems like.
I follow Rhetta on instagram and she talked about how it was a mini reunion at the premiere with Amy and I think “Jerry” being there too.
Jerry…or Larry? 😀
I love that cast so much, it pains me that Pratt is so problematic in real life.
Terry! Lol. I love them, too. But I said yesterday sadly I’ve lost my affection for Andy. Boo.
Eh, I don’t think badly of him for wanting to hold off on kids for now. Don’t forget that Jack was very premature. The fear after experiencing that has caused many parents I know to stop at one.
Surrogate with Anna’s egg? Adoption?
In USA,You have some options .(in France,less)
Good point. In that light, it’s points to him that he wants to make sure he is present and available if they do have another child.
There is a tremendous amount of PTSD for parents after having a preemie. Not to mention the increased divorce rate and ongoing disability issues.
Or she’s has fertility issues. That’s a lot of stress on a marriage. Plus-she allegedly has a drinking problem.
I loved him in both Parks and Rec and the first Guardians, but somewhere along the line I’ve soured on him (or he’s soured himself on me, much the way Matt Damon has ruined Matt Damon for me). At this piont, I just wish they’d cast Nathan Fillion as Star Lord.
There was a story going round years ago now that Nathan Fillion was approached to play a superhero and at the time, he didn’t want to lose weight for the role (he was already making a ton of money on Castle, it’s not like he needed it). A lot of people assume it was Guardians, since he’s friends with that director.
I wish DC would make a Booster Gold movie and let him play Booster. He’d be great.
Mmmmn. Nathan Fillion. Sorry, I’m no help here right now.
I hope Aubrey’s not involved. I doubt it. Doesn’t seem like her thing.
she’s married
I don’t think she’s married, but she’s in a long term relationship with Jeff Baena. An article written in June refers to him as her boyfriend.
http://www.indiewire.com/2017/06/aubrey-plaza-jeff-baena-dating-the-little-hours-interview-1201848841/
I think that his ego grew exponentially as he lost the weight and buffed up. She apparently has said she liked him chubby. Maybe it was that she liked *him* chubby, rather than the guy he is now.
Yes, I think this is down to his ego expanding and wanting to take advantage of his A list status while he’s hot. Many celeb couples will trade off working while one is primary caregiver. Chris doesn’t seem willing to do that. With GoG and JW sequels he may not have a choice. Obviously it took a toll on their relationship.
He was the buff hot guy before, so I think there’s an added layer to her comments and his re-fitness.
He was a teenheart throb on Everwood before becoming the funny chubby dude.
He also use to say she deliberately used to mess with his food because she liked him chubby
Yikes, not cool. It’s one thing to lament the loss of her cubby guy but another thing to actually sabotage his efforts to get/be slimmer.
I think this is a major problem with Chris. I think he’s always had somewhat of an ego… but it grew like crazy. I personally preferred chubby Andy Dwyer to this version of him. He was still at least somewhat likable back then. But I think he got a big boost once he got fit, and I think an already semi-cocky attitude turned into a “look at me now!” kind of thing.
I think it’s a serious problem that everybody is saying they preferred his body a certain way and I think body policing is gross whether we’re talking about a man or a woman and I think it’s super gross that people are saying they liked him better a certain way. As someone who has been overweight and worked my ass off to get slim after a damaging and depressing relationship, I can say 100% that that person and the impact they had on my self esteem held me back from my own health and well being. There are so many emotional, physiological, and deeply personal drivers behind why someone is overweight or fit. I just think if we were saying we like Lena Dunham better chubby for example, it would be considered body shaming and bullied. Lost my weight doesn’t change who someone is and obesity is such a tremendous problem, why do you need to say you liked someone better that way?
Except he lost weight and got buff for both Moneyball and Zero Dark Thirty…
I don’t know. He seemed like the one that wanted a more traditional, Christian marriage and lifestyle. It was always confusing to me because they never seemed to be a good match. He seems so conservative and she is so out there. I like both of them. I hope they can maintain a good relationship for Jack.
I don’t think Anna wanted more kids. Partially because her pregnancy with her boy was so difficult. I think it’s the classic she was big when they got together, then it switch and now he’s big.
What I’m getting from all of this is that his new “opportunities” involve him traveling and being able to sleep with whoever he wants without consequence. Now that’s he’s A list he doesn’t want to be tied down. I saw this breakup coming a mile away. They were always extra on social media and couples that do that never stay together.
Also you can tell she was incredibly insecure. She said as much and she has done too much to her face. It seems like she got plastic surgery as a way to cope with these problems.
After her 1st divorce ,she offered herself a new breast
Kudos on the photo choices again ladies. In that pic he looks like the guy who chuckles while pulling the legs off of spiders.
lmao!!! Thank you for this.
That one pic where they’re kissing…she’s looking at him and he’s looking at someone/something else…quite telling
I’d be willing to bet that he has more kids with someone else in a couple years.
The picture of them kissing says it all. He looks bored and distracted and she’s peaking to see if he’s closing his eyes. And the picture of her looking at him in awe while it looks like he’s thinking, “DAMN, I am so hot right now.” He seems like grade A douche.
I saw yesterday that Anna has a book coming out this fall. A few months ago, she said Chris and their life together features in it. I’m really interested to see if the book gets pushed back now.
Also, what’s the possibility that statement to tmz is some sort of pre-emotive move? It’s just a weird statement, and I’m not sure how it benefits either party.
People had excerpts from the book and all the quotes were about their relationship, how they met, how they balance marriage and their careers, etc. The foreword is written by him. She’s already sold it, so I don’t think they can just shelve it. Maybe they’ll let her update it, but this ending makes large parts of the book pointless. IIRC, it’s due out in October.
Awkward…
Oh lord, just like Jennifer Love Hewitt’s book all about how to be great at relationships that she dedicated to Jamie Kennedy. They barely lasted a year.
Not saying they would shelf the book but do wonder if they might be considering pushing back the release date. Given the release date, any changes at this point would likely guarantee a later release date.
There were rumors about them getting divorced due to her drinking back last year. Just Google Anna Faris drinking problem. It’s really sad, actually.
It is sad, especially with their little boy in the picture. I hope she can get and stay healthy.
” That being said, I sort of feel like Team Pratt is actually protecting Faris, ”
I suspect that may be what is going on. Some of the douchiest most conservative guys I know also have a chivalrous side as well. Maybe he’s protecting “the mother of my child”
I’m guessing she has issues with drinking and insecurity and his success (being away from home for months at a time for work, tons of media attention, tabloid rumors about his co-stars, etc.) have exacerbated her issues. I have a feeling he *does* want a traditional family – but not with Anna in the state she’s in right now. This makes me super sad. She probably needs support and he’s too busy, too consumed with his work to give it to her. Just a guess.
Lainey is saying it wasn’t about ego or cheating and is implying it was the issues she wrote about in the blind. If the divorce is mostly about her issues, I wonder if his chivalry will run out if he feels like people are blaming the divorce on him.
It sounds to me like she has some big issues and Pratt tried to help for a good long time. Even now he gave a respectful separation announcement. The names he’s been called today and the things he’s been accused of doing are disturbing. The posters are out of line in my opinion. ( Not talking about the pet problems but all the other stuff.)
I went and found the Blind and in it she states,” Her boss has had extensive experience with a big star disrupting the set and is just trying to get through as much as they can, keep production going, because no one wants the staff to be out of pay if everything is suspended. ”
The top 3 producers on Mom also produced Two and a Half Men.
This makes me really sad for her and I hope she gets the help she needs.
Faris is definitely being protected in this whole situation. I must say that I completely respect this. If my husband and I ever got divorced, I hope we would protect one another this way.
Eh, Pratt sounds like a user.
He used her when she was more famous to get a leg up. He used her for roles when he couldn’t get any. He used her to project the image of “family man” when his career was on the rise.
Now that he doesn’t need her for anything, he has lost interest. See how that works? She’s probably suspected he was like this for a long time, but was in denial, hence all the weird insecurities coming out.
SOURCE: My own projections, because I was in a relationship with a man like this and did not react well to the lying, cheating and gaslighting AT ALL.
C’mon guys…If Anna was the one saying she wanted to focus on her career and didn’t want any more children at this time, we would all be behind her! Everyone would be saying that she doesn’t have to have kids just because he wants them…No one should have kids just because their spouse wants them! Not good for the kids, or the marriage. And, by the way, when they got together, Anna may have been the more recognizable of the two, but it wasn’t like she was some huge star, and he was a nobody, I only remember her from Scary movie and a guest stint on Friends.
I don’t think anyone is suggesting that people should have kids because their spouse wants to.
If this is the real reason, and that’s a big if, I’m OK with it, even though I’m not real fond of him anymore. I think it’s better to acknowledge when people are in different places, want different things, etc, otherwise years go by and resentment builds. If someone is not in the right part of their life to have more children, I think it’s important to recognize that, rather than go ahead and have more kids anyway, and have problems.
Chris Pratt has soured like bad milk, and I think he’s gone off the right wing deep end, but as someone who chose a child-free life, I will never fault a person for not being pushed around about having (more) kids. If Anna Faris wants another child, and he doesn’t, then they need to split up so she can go off and figure out how to do that and he can be a loving parent to the one kid he already has. And so what if he does have more kids later with someone else? Anna apparently feels she can’t wait, so she shouldn’t, but that doesn’t mean another person should be saddled wth a kid they don’t want. That’s not good for anybody.
I think he’s striking while the iron is “hot.” He did an interview a while back when the first GoG and JW hit saying something like that. In the interview (if I remember correctly) he said he and Anna agreed he would do as much work as he could while he had the chance and then the three of them would “retire” in the midwest or Texas and live out the rest of their lives like ordinary people. Movie stars don’t stay white hot forever and I think he recognized this.
I think Anna agreed initially, but the reality of it was too much for her.
I would not be surprised if 5+ years from now he’s living a Matthew Mcconaughey style life with a new wife and more kids somewhere other than LA.
This
This marriage was doomed when she took the job on Mom and he blew up in movies. She’s working long TV hours in one fixed location for months at a time, he’s off in different locations around the world for long periods of time. You can’t have a marriage if you’re never together.
Actually, a lot of actors talk about how sitcoms are one of the most friendly acting jobs in terms of family time. I know Jane Leeves (Daphne from Friends) has mentioned that, and I think (?) both Julie Bowen and Jane Kaczmarek have mentioned it as well. Her schedule is stable – it’s his schedule that makes it difficult to juggle careers and family life (which is not a criticism of Pratty, just an observation of Hollywood).
It’s stable and great money, but is such a huge time commitment that if your partner has a career as well it can spell doom. Trying to balance one partner in a sitcom and one in movies? It was always going to end in a split.
“He’s now at the top of the Hollywood food chain…”
I can’t believe this is happening.
I used to like Pratt, but he seems like he has gone from being an relatively nice, normal guy to one of those “golly gee I’m SO relateable” types (looking at you, JLaw). It’s a pretty easy narrative to uncover — he got fit, famous, and lost interest in a more traditional family life.
Sad if the rumors of Anna’s drinking problem are true.
I always find that interesting when a man leaves his family and say’s it’s because he doesn’t want more kids. Do they plan on searching for a woman without kid’s and not planning on having kid’s? Or do they want to raise someone else’s kid’s? If no more kid’s are they looking for a woman without kid’s who want’s to help raise their kid’s? I don’t get it.
Easy answer, in a divorce/separation situation assume when a man says he doesn’t any more kids that the (with her) is silent.
I was going to jump on the band wagon of “Sure, now that you are the bigger star, you can’t be bothered to stay married and or heard those rumors about the cheating” but if there is truth to her having a long standing substance problem, I know it is so very hard being the other person in the relationship living with that on a daily basis. I also can see the possibility that he just can’t do it anymore and if that is the case, then he is showing his family and her respect by not airing all of that out in public and he deserves “props”. I’m gonna have to give him the benefit of the doubt since I don’t know either of them.
Yep, I like that they have agreed on a story which they publish together. United front. I wish them the best.
When I lost my job and got a new one that didn’t pay as much, the dynamic of my relationship really changed with my fiance (then boyfriend) once he became the “bread winner”. It took some work to get past my own insecurities of not being as successful, making less and contributing less financially to the relationship. I would not be surprised if the #1 catalyst for their breakup was that change in power and/or monetary dynamic.
My best friend (who is a guy) only wanted 2 kids, his wife talked him into a third and then they “accidentally” had a fourth. He got a vasectomy immediately after the fourth. I never think it is a good idea to push anyone into having more kids. Now, his wife got bored with him and the kids and started cheating on him with another man, drinking heavily and they are now divorcing. Thankfully my best friend has always been a super hands on father, moreso than she has ever been, but I think having too many children was the beginning of their problems. Her reasoning to have lots of children was to have them around when she’s old which I find is a truly selfish reason.
Honestly I don’t blame him if those are the true reasons (I’m sure there’s something else there as well), it takes a lot to raise a child and if he’s travelling around the world he can’t possibly do that.. it’s also likely his fame won’t last that long either, so gotta milk that until it last.
Btw I would have said the same if the roles were reversed.
I don’t understand why people are outraged that someone like him chose career over having more kids. It sounds like they already had some underlying issues, so why have a bandaid baby? If this was a woman who says that she chooses her career over more babies, we would be applauding her, right?
I agree, it’s better hw knows how he feels and acts on that. Unlike stupid Affleck who has 3 kids and is off on holiday with some new chick he had an affair with and is really, actually, very ugly, just like he is, inside and out.
So, he is doing the right thing by not having more kids when he is unsure.
My gut instinct says he’s not really a great guy IRL and I’m gonna stick with it. Anna doesn’t seem like a great person either, especially after that shelter dog story was revealed. The only person I feel sorry for in this case is their son Jack. As far as Lainey’s narrative is concerned.. its interesting to note that a self confessed dirt hound is telling people no need to take sides cause there was no cheating, but then again I’m not surprised since she does accept exclusives from PR teams. Who doesn’t like money?
Totally agree about LaineyG and that convenient ‘narrative’ on this separation..
Wait. If there is dirt it will likely come out.
I just wish them all the best. They have a child.
Who can tell what really happened?
So far they are putting out a story – supported by both of them. Chapeau to them. Good for the kid.
Perhaps Faris wanted her career back? And Chris wanted a home maker wife for his career? She is a really good actress and if she gets a shot she will shoot up 😉
