‘We tried hard for a long time’: Chris Pratt and Anna Faris announce split

by

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris have announced their decision to legally separate after eight years of marriage.

The beloved Hollywood couple posted a joint statement on social media in which they revealed that had “tried hard for a long time.”

The pair, who have one four-year-old son together, have requested that their privacy be respected at this time.

“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 actors met on the set of Take Me Home Tonight back in 2007. They got engaged the following year and eventually wed at a ceremony in Bali on July 9, 2009.

It's thought that the pair's busy work schedules could have put a strain on their relationship.

Anna is currently shooting the fifth season of her hit CBS sitcom, Mom, while Chris has spent most of the summer in the UK and Hawaii shooting Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Earlier this year, Chris told the Associated Press how the couple balance work while making time for each other: “For the first part of our relationship, we put our careers at the top.

“We were like, ‘Honey, if you get a job and you have to go to Istanbul for six months, you’re going. I’ll help you pack. I’ll Skype with you every day. You’re living your dream, I’m living my dream. That’s what we do.'”

The news of the couple's split was met with sadness as many fans took to social media to express their disbelief and offer their love and support at this difficult time.
