Chris Pratt and Anna Faris Reunite with Hug in Front of Katherine Schwarzenegger

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris stunned fans Wednesday when the former couple reunited publicly for only the second time since finalizing their 2018 divorce.

The Guardians of the Galaxy star, 46, and the House Bunny actress, 48, began dating in 2007 and tied the knot in 2009, quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples. 

After nearly a decade of marriage, they split in 2017, citing irreconcilable differences, though they’ve stayed close as co-parents to their 13-year-old son Jack.

The pair were spotted sharing a warm hug at a charity event at St. Monica’s Catholic Church in Los Angeles, both dressed casually in sweats and baseball caps. 

Pratt’s current wife Katherine Schwarzenegger – who shares daughters Lyla, five, Eloise, three, and son Ford, one, with him – was on hand to witness the moment, watching the exes interact from a short distance.

Katherine and Faris didn’t appear to interact at the charity event, though they were cordial during Pratt and Faris’s first public reunion at Jack’s graduation in June. 

All three were in Santa Monica to celebrate Jack’s sixth-grade graduation. 

Pratt and Faris flanked their only son for a family photo, even sharing another hug that underlined how amicable things have become. 

Observers noted it was a far lighter vibe than the last time the exes were seen together, back in August 2018, when they looked tense on a walk through Los Angeles.

Pratt and Faris’s romance began in 2007 while filming the 1980s-set rom-com Take Me Home Tonight. 

They got engaged the following year and tied the knot in Indonesia in 2009, before announcing their separation in 2017. 

Pratt filed for divorce later that year, with the split finalized on Halloween 2018.

Both have since moved on: Faris married cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021, while Pratt wed Schwarzenegger in 2019.

In May, Pratt once again sparked fan outrage by failing to acknowledge Faris on Mother’s Day. 

At the time, he posted a tribute to Katherine, writing: ‘How do moms do it? Seriously. It’s like running a circus, a hospital, and a five-star kitchen all at once. Our kids hit the jackpot with you, and so did I. We love you. Happy Mother’s Day, Chief!’

Fans quickly called him out for skipping Faris. 

One asked, ‘Where’s the tribute to mother of your first child????’ 

Another wrote, ‘Anna Faris is a mother too.’ 

A third advised, ‘Please remember to acknowledge the mother or father of your child. Keep the peace at least for your child’s sake.’

Pratt has a history of omitting Faris in previous Mother’s Day posts. 

In 2024, he wrote:’Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there! Love to my Mom Kathy who set a high bar for her love, patience, humor, and the joy in motherhood.

‘And a special thank you to my darling Katherine for all you do. Witnessing you be a mom to Lyla and Eloise and a stepmom to Jack makes me fall more and more in love with you every day.’

Back in 2021, Pratt also made headlines for thanking Schwarzenegger for giving birth to ‘a beautiful, healthy daughter,’ which fans read as a slight toward Faris, who had given birth prematurely in 2014. 

He later told Men’s Health he ‘cried’ over the backlash and called it ‘f**ed up’* as his son may see the comments ‘one day.’

Meanwhile, Faris has built her own happily-ever-after with Barrett, whom she met on the 2018 film Overboard and married in 2021. 

Sources close to the couple say Faris and Barrett have embraced a quieter, private life together, in stark contrast to the high-profile drama that often follows Pratt.  

Faris has thrown herself into new projects, including another Scary Movie sequel, all while keeping her co-parenting relationship with Pratt friendly.
