In July, we found out that Anna Faris and Michael Barrett had secretly married by eloping at courthouse in Washington. At the time, we didn?t know much else, except the ceremony took place on San Juan Island and that she sprung the news on her family only shortly before she told her podcast listeners. Over the weekend, the couple was making their way through LAX when some paps asked why they?d decided to elope. Anna said since they?re a bit on in years, they didn?t feel they needed ?the whole thing.?
Anna Faris is opening up about her recent elopement with husband Michael Barrett.
The ?House Bunny? star, 44, was spotted at LAX airport over the weekend, and told paps that she and Barrett, 51, wed at a private courthouse ceremony on their own because ?with a little bit of age, you don?t need the whole thing.?
When asked if anyone else attended the couple?s nuptials, Faris responded, ?It was just us.? She also confirmed it was her decision to elope.

I?ll say up front, as I have many times before, I always think a wedding should be whatever the bride and groom want. If a pair of thrice-married septuagenarians want to blow the doors off with a cathedral length train and 15 attendants, that?s their day. I have opinions on a couple making outrageous demands on the bridal party or guests/family, but not how they want to celebrate. So my speculation about why Anna and Michael eloped is just speculation, I?m sure they did exactly what they wanted for their wedding and I?m all for it. Age may have been a factor. I know my wedding would?ve been very different if I?d married 10 years earlier than I did. But it was also Anna?s third marriage and Michael?s second. I know if I ever do it again, it would be vastly different because I already have the experience. When Anna?s ex, Chris Pratt, married Katherine Schwarzenegger, it was her first wedding. So I?m sure she wanted a big wedding and he wanted her to have it. Plus, it sounds like Anna has been doing a lot of introspection about her former relationships, so maybe she wanted all their focus to be on their vows without any of the distractions a big wedding can have. Honestly, not worrying about the guestlist is worth the elopement alone.
And, as CB pointed out, during the pandemic, a small, intimate ceremony is a really smart choice.

When Anna Faris and Chris Pratt split in 2017, it was a surprise to many of us. I kept waiting for some affair rumor. But Anna and Chris split their time with their son, Jack, were amicable with each other, even partnering up for some holidays including their new significant others. It was a good example of friendly exes co-parenting. I took that to mean there was no ill will between the former spouses. Anna has been talking about her marriage to Chris a lot more these days. She keeps hinting that all was not well, but shes not pointing fingers, so I?m still trying to figure out her motive. On her podcast, Unqualified, Anna told Rachel Bilson that her marriage to Chris ended because she?d ignored a few things she shouldn?t have. That and not speaking to anyone about the issues to protect the image of their relationship.
Anna Faris had trouble talking to friends about the issues in her marriage to Chris Pratt.
On the latest episode of her podcast Unqualified, Faris opened up about her relationship with Pratt while speaking to guest Rachel Bilson. During the chat, the House Bunny actress admitted that not having a close group of friends during her marriage to the Guardians of the Galaxy star hurt her ability to talk through issues with Pratt, leading them to keep up appearances.
Faris was first married to actor Ben Indra from 2004 to 2008. She and Pratt were married from 2009 to 2017. The Mom actress shares 8-year-old son Jack with Pratt, 41.
I think it stunted me in a lot of ways, Faris, 44, said of not having close girlfriends at the time. One of them being that I never talked about any issues, so to the people, even who I was closest to, Im sure things were more transparent with my relationship with Ben, but with Chris, I think that we both protected that imagery even within our close circles.
When the topic of her divorce came up on the podcast, Faris admitted to finding red flags after her and Pratts relationship was over.
For me, I think after every breakup, at some point I realize that there were a lot of things I ignored that I really shouldnt have, she said. In hindsight, it felt like my hand was forced. I dont think it was ever an independent decision.
[From People]
It?s quite possible that this is nothing more than reflection and that Anna and Chris are still as amicable as before. It?s just curious to me that after four years of only speaking well of her ex, Anna is talking about what went wrong. Last month she and Gwyneth Paltrow discussed their failed marriages and Anna addressed her competitiveness with Chris. I?m curious now about those rumors about Chris and Anna?s marriage ending because he didn?t want more kids given that he and Katherine Schwarzenegger had a baby right away. I wonder if that factors into this at all. I understand what Anna means. I bet a lot of celebrity couples don?t confide in others about their issues to protect the image of their relationship. I know non-celebrity couples who do that too. And I know why, because gossiping about other people?s relationships is the first thing people do to make themselves feel better about their own. It?s also the easiest way to continue ignoring the red flags you should be addressing.
Later in the podcast, a woman called in who wanted to end her engagement. Anna supported women doing this, implying she should have, possibly with Chris, I really feel like calling off an engagement is a smarter, stronger, braver move than what I did, which was like, well, I guess everyone is expecting this, so lets just go through with it. We know that Chris was Anna?s jump-off from her first husband, Ben. But Anna clarified she needed an excuse to leave, and Chris provided that. So if she had an affair that broke up her marriage, I could see how she felt obligated to go through with the marriage. I hope Anna is reflecting on her past relationships so she doesn?t make the same mistakes. She?s engaged to Michael Barrett, but they don?t seem in a rush to get married. It could be she?s just looking out for herself for once. Either that or she?s getting ready to unleash a Tell-All on Starlord ? either way, I?m here for it.

***Spoilers for the show Mom***
Friday night it broke that Anna Faris was leaving her popular CBS show, Mom. The reason, according to Anna?s statement, is she will be pursuing other opportunities. Anna has been on the show for seven seasons, which is a good run for any actor. But the show?s premise revolved around Anna?s Christy character?s sober journey alongside her mother, Bonnie, played by Allison Janney, who is also working on her sobriety. Granted, the cast has flushed out into a very solid ensemble that includes Mimi Kennedy, Jaime Pressly, Kirsten Johnston and Beth Hall, but Anna?s Christy is still one of the ?Moms? from the title.
CBS comedy Mom will go into its eighth season without one of its two leads.
In a surprise move, Anna Faris is exiting the series she has starred in for seven years. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter her departure is not due to COVID-19 concerns; instead she wanted to pursue other opportunities.
Her role as Christy wont be recast, sources say, and her absence will be addressed in the show. Its not clear when Faris informed producers of her decision, but the writers werent delayed as a result. Production on the Warner Bros. TV show, executive produced by Chuck Lorre, is slated to begin Sept. 14. CBS hasnt set a premiere date.
The past seven years on Mom have been some of the most fulfilling and rewarding of my career, said Faris. Im so thankful to Chuck, the writers, and my amazing castmates for creating a truly wonderful work experience. While my journey as Christy has come to an end, allowing me to pursue new opportunities, Ill be watching next season and rooting for my TV family.
[From The Hollywood Reporter]
When I first heard the news, I was shocked, but it passed quickly. Anna strikes me as a more nomadic personality, staying in one place for too long frustrates her. I?m not faulting her for that, I?ve known plenty of people who just need change to be happy. If her departure doesn?t hurt the show, then it?s not a bad thing. So that begs the question: does Anna?s departure hurt the show? In my opinion ? no. As far as Christy?s arc, I feel like the main part of her story with Bonnie her terrible childhood and how her mother?s addiction fed her own has played out. They?ve really explored that, found resolution and healed. Christy?s stories about Bonnie are still kind of funny, but they are also sad now that we see Bonnie has grown enough to understand the damage she?s done. So the whole dynamic between Christy and Bonnie has shifted, making it the perfect time to remove that as the center of the show.
In an update posted by Seriously OMG, Kirsten Johnston said, ?I can?t say much, but I can promise her character is moving on to an awesome (sober) life. That?s what I was told, anyway.? If you think about it, Christy is the most primed to move on. She can get hired out of town, she can transfer to a larger law school there are plenty of options for her to move off the show in a logical way. Plus, the cast is so strong, they can afford to lose one of the players. With Bonnie and Adam married, story wise, it makes sense for Christy to move out anyway. Now that Bonnie has her new sponsee, Patty, we will still have a mom/daughter dynamic. And since it sounds like Christy will move on to something better, it continues to back up the extremely positive message Mom makes about putting in the work on sobriety. As much as I like Anna in that role, I think this could be a necessary shakeup the show needed. I kind of hope they bring Christy?s daughter Violet back into the story. There is so much to work with there.
Whatever happens, I honestly think this one of the few shows that can lose one of its leads and still be equally as viable. Centering the show around the women, the program and their sobriety rather than relying solely on the relationship between Christy and Bonnie has made it tenable. This little ripple actually makes me more excited for the new season than I was originally. I?m excited to see where this takes the characters.
BTW ? personal note, I started watching this based on your comments about Mom promoting the power of women supporting each other through thick and thin. So thank you.

We didn?t talk much about Anna Faris last year. She wasn?t doing much, gossip-wise the most attention she got in 2019 was when her ex-husband Chris Pratt got engaged to Katherine Schwarzenegger, and Anna was completely gracious about it and publicly welcoming to Katherine. I think it helped Anna that she had moved on from Pratt very quickly, and she didn?t seem concerned at all about his dating/romantic life. She?s been in a relationship with Michael Bennett for a while (like, two years?) and Anna?s friend and costar Allison Janney has just confirmed that Anna is engaged.
Anna Faris is officially engaged. The actress, 43, was first spotted wearing a canary yellow diamond in November that was speculated to be an engagement ring. However, she kept quiet about the big news ? until her ?Moms? co-star Allison Janney confirmed it on Monday.
?I know she?s been engaged for a long time,? Janney, 60, revealed to Us Weekly. ?I kept it very quiet, I?ll have you know! So, I celebrated with them a long time ago.?
According to Janney, Faris let her unconventional ring do the talking instead of making an announcement to the public and even her friends and family. Spokesperson for Shane Co., Mary Frances Joseph, estimates that the center cushion-cut yellow diamond weighs in at 4 carats; it sits in a split-shank diamond halo setting.
?While halo engagement rings remain a top choice for brides today, we love Anna?s trendsetting choice for a yellow center stone,? Joseph told Page Six Style, estimating the sparkler?s value at between $75,000 and $100,000.
However, experts at Rare Carat ? who put the size of the halo-set stone at closer to 3 carats ? think Faris? ring may have cost less. ?From the picture, the center stone appears to be more on the ?light? side of the fancy yellow scale, rather than the more expensive ?intense? fancy yellow colors that command higher prices,? CEO Ajay Anand told us. ?Given this, we?d estimate the stone to be $20,000.?

This isn?t Anna?s first time down the aisle, and she?s even suggested that after two divorces, she?s not so sure about the institution of marriage anyway. But people change and fall in love, and maybe this guy is super-stable and low-key, which is what she needs in her life (in my opinion). Anyway, I just wanted to cover this because there is a blurry photo of her engagement ring:

Anna Faris had a ?stupidly dramatic? Thanksgiving holiday but fortunately for the 13 people involved, it was saved from being dramatically tragic. Anna and a dozen members of her family rented a home in Lake Tahoe, California. As I follow Anna on social media, I was getting a kick out of her live-tweeting her family holiday with her usual quirky wit. She went big for her initial tweet:
My mom would be mortified if she knew I posted this on Twitter. Please stay tuned for thanksgiving minute by minute fun. pic.twitter.com/dooxQEZNTZ

Anna Faris has already been married and divorced twice. Her first marriage was to Ben Indra, and from the way she talks about it, it sounds like a somewhat dysfunctional starter marriage and she was happy to be single when they got divorced. Then she met Chris Pratt and everything changed they got married and became parents, and their marriage fell apart. I really do believe that they?re good exes though they seem to still be very close and they might have one of the best co-parenting situations in Hollywood. Anna moved on from Pratt very quickly, and she?s still dating Michael Barrett, the same guy she?s been with for a few years now. But now that Pratt is getting married to Katherine Schwarzenegger, does Anna feel those bridal urges?
With two marriages down, Anna Faris isn?t sure if she will ever get married again. She says she loves her boyfriend, Michael Barrett, but doesn?t like the idea of matrimony. While talking to Laura Wasser on her podcast, ?Divorce Sucks!? the actress said she is leaning to the ?no? side of getting wed over ?yes.?
Faris notes that the legal implications of getting married on paper bother her. She does add that she still believes in commitment and monogamy.
?I believe in love and monogamy and I believe in the commitment with a relationship, but I do struggle, having been through it a couple of times now Laura, with the idea of our legal systemI struggle with that on kind of a feminist level,? Faris said on the show.
[From ET Canada]
I think that?s a smart and mature decision, honestly. I can completely understand how someone would be over the whole institution after two rounds of marriage. I think Anna is self-aware enough to understand that the whole ?fairy tale? of ?forever? isn?t for her. I also appreciate that she isn?t competing with Chris Pratt I like her more for knowing herself and for not playing that ?I need to be engaged too!? game. I think Anna is at a point in her life where she relishes her independence overall too she was overshadowed so much when she was with Pratt, and post-divorce, shes been reclaiming her identity.

I?m not here for portraying Anna Faris as the jilted ex-wife, or someone full of regrets about her ?failed marriage.? When all was said and done between Anna Faris and Chris Pratt, I think Anna was the one who wanted out, but that she stayed longer because she really did love Chris and because of their son Jack. She moved on quickly, and she?s had the same boyfriend for a while

Is anyone else sort of surprised by how little drama there was with Anna Faris and Chris Pratt?s divorce? It seems like they really thought about how they were going to do it and their plan worked out well – a joint statement, little speculation about third parties contributing to the divorce, and zero drama about their son Jack. Anna and Chris share custody of Jack and they?re both very close to him and they?re hands-on parents. Anna moved on quickly with a new boyfriend and Chris has yet to make anyone his ?official,? although he?s been seen out on dates. All in all, a Hollywood divorce done well, relatively speaking. But even a good divorce has made Anna gun-shy about marriage in general.
After two divorces, Anna Faris isn?t sure about marriage.
?I need to figure out what the purpose is,? Faris, 41, said on Monday?s episode of Dax Shepard?s ?Armchair Expert? podcast. ?Is it safety for your children? Is it convention? Is it so other people respect your relationship more? For me, I?m just not quite sure where it fits, especially when it feels so easy to get married, and then the untangling ? when the state gets involved. There is the importance of how other people then treat you as a married man than as a man with a girlfriend. I do think it is important how other people respect a relationship ? I?m not saying it?s a good reason, but it is a small benefit of having that label of being married.?
Still, the ?Overboard? star admitted that her and Pratt?s PDA and social media presence made their rough patches and breakup even harder.
?Chris and I did talk about [it]. We got, like on the Twitter feed, ?Love is dead? and ?relationship goals,’? she said. ?I think what we were also guilty of ? we obviously cultivated something and it was rewarding for a while. It was like ?People seem to think we got all this s?t right.? ?
That doesn?t mean that Faris took lightly the public devastation at their divorce, which she confessed irritated her at the time.
?I had a little bit of a childish feeling of ?Oh come on, f??king grow up!? Like, [there was] a little bit of anger. But that?s not fair either, because I cultivated it,? she explained. ?We intentionally cultivated this idea of like, ?Look at this beautiful family.? There were so many moments that were like that but like anything on social media, you don?t post like, ?Where the f?k is the toilet paper?!? or whatever. I think it?s a very hard forum to be genuine, and I think it does a disservice to people to not be.?
[From Page Six]
I have to say, I?ve never really been an Anna Faris fan, but she comes across as so real here. Not Jennifer Lawrence ?look at me as a eat Doritos and fart!? REAL, but like an actually real person who admits that she cultivated the happy-family image and that she struggles to understand, as a twice-divorced person, why marriage exists in 2018. I do think that the reason why many couples get married is because of tradition, because of children, and because society simply treats married people differently then ?people who are living together? or ?life partners? or ?boyfriend/girlfriend.? I do that too, so do most people, in creating this delineation that is really just about a piece of paper. Sigh? I guess I?m an Anna Faris fan now.

Anna Faris has a lot going on right now. Her CBS comedy, Mom, is a lock for renewal (in part, I assume, to the buzz around her co-stars Allison Janney?s award season). She also has the Overboard remake coming out in April. The first trailer dropped last month. Anna, as we now, is divorcing Chris Pratt. They share a five-year old son named Jack, whom I always find adorable. Anna recently told Us that she constantly doubts herself as a mom and holds Kristen Bell and Reese Witherspoon up as her ideal for Mom Goals.
Anna Faris has a mom crush on Kristen Bell and Reese Witherspoon.
?I like how they combine humor with raising kids, but also how they tackle motherhood and work without being pretentious,? the 41-year-old tells Us Weekly. Faris, who shares Jack, 5, with ex-husband Chris Pratt, especially appreciated Bell and Witherspoon?s honesty about the ups and downs of raising kids when she first became a parent. In opening up about their mistakes, they made Faris feel less alone. ?The first few years,? says Faris, ?I was like, ?Oh, my God. Everyone else seems to know exactly what to do and I don?t.??
The Mom star admits she is ?still figuring things out? and struggles with self-doubt. ?I question every single thing, like, ?Oh, I shouldn?t have changed lanes,? or ?Why don?t I have hand sanitizer?? and ?I should have applied more sunblock,? she tells Us. ?There?s just so much pressure for parents and it?s tough to let yourself off the hook and be like, ?You know what? He?s happy. It?s OK.?
[From Us]
?Oh, my God. Everyone else seems to know exactly what to do and I don?t.? I have been a mom for almost 13 years and I think this weekly. Everything I do I judge by other mothers, who seem to do all this cool stuff for their kids which I only do a tiny fraction of. My kids are happy and intellectually I know it’s ok, but one visit to Facebook will strip me of my confidence as a mother. (Even if I recognize the fantasy vs. reality of Facebook.)
Incidentally, although my initial response is to empathize with and encourage Anna, I started judging her at one point. She mentioned a time when Jack ate five balls of butter at a restaurant to the horror of her friends. Her point being that it was one of those funny moments she?s learned to laugh off. I should support her and think, ?we?ve all been there,? but instead I got judgmental and thought ?well, I?d never have allowed that.? I?m sure Anna is a great mom and I imagine Jack will let her know in every way. I hope that she and all of us other moms realize that one day too.
I also hope that Life and Style is wrong about Anna rushing her divorce so she can marry her new guy. Slow down, Anna!
