During a recent episode of the Anna Faris is Unqualified podcast, Anna Faris opened up to guest Rachel Bilson about her past marriages to Ben Indra and Chris Pratt.
She admitted to overlooking warning signs in both relationships, leading to eventual breakups where she felt like her decisions were not entirely her own.
Faris, now 44 years old, first tied the knot with Ben Indra in 2004, only to go separate ways in 2008.
Following this, her marriage to Chris Pratt lasted from 2009 to 2017, during which they welcomed their son, Jack.
In hindsight, Faris acknowledged that there were red flags she chose to ignore, indicating that her choices felt coerced rather than independent.
Reflecting on her past experiences, Faris expressed regret over not having the courage to call off her engagement to Pratt when she sensed it was not the right path for her.
She emphasized the importance of making bold decisions and avoiding succumbing to external pressures, highlighting that ending an engagement can be a wiser and braver choice than going through with a marriage out of expectation.
In a candid moment on her podcast, Faris delved into the dynamics of her relationships with actors, noting that competitiveness played a detrimental role in both marriages.
She recognized her own struggles with pride and vulnerability, admitting that she did not effectively navigate feelings of competition and comparison between her partners, a factor that contributed to the breakdown of those relationships.
Following her divorce from Pratt in November 2018, the actor announced his engagement to Katherine Schwarzenegger in January 2019.
They later welcomed their daughter, Lyla Maria, in August 2020.
On the other hand, Anna Faris has found love again and is engaged to cinematographer Michael Barrett, marking a new chapter in her personal life.
As Faris continues to reflect on her past and embrace the lessons learned from her failed marriages, she emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, honest communication, and prioritizing emotional growth in future relationships.
