Yahoo Lifestyle After Previously Saying That Coparenting With Chris Pratt Has Gotten “Easier,” Anna Faris Shared A Rare Update About Their 11-Year-Old Son
Anna Faris just shared an update about her “amazing” son as he gets older.
As you probably know, Anna was previously married to Chris Pratt. They separated after eight years together in 2017 but have since remained dedicated to coparenting their 11-year-old son, Jack, who was born in 2012.
In 2021, Anna secretly married Michael Barrett, while Chris tied the knot with Katherine Schwarzenegger a few years earlier in 2019.
Since she and Chris moved on, Anna has opened up about how their coparenting relationship has evolved, telling People in 2022: “We’re all getting much closer, and I so appreciate that.”
“They’re very protective of me, and I want to be very protective of them. I so appreciate their support,” she said of Chris and Katherine, who also share two daughters, Lyla and Eloise.
“It feels just much easier now that time has passed,” Anna said after noting that Katherine is an “awesome” stepmom to Jack. “It feels really good to not live with that internal churning of unpleasantness.”
As Jack’s gotten older, Chris and Anna appear to have limited the amount they share about him, perhaps because of health issues he’s faced since birth. But now, ahead of his 12th birthday in August, Anna’s given a brief update on how Jack’s getting on.
On Monday’s Today show, Anna talked with cohosts Hoda Kotb and Justin Sylvester about parenting struggles, prompting them to note how quickly Jack has grown up.
“He’s amazing. He’s 11,” Anna said when Hoda asked how he’s been doing. “You miss it sometimes when you look at old photos,” she reminisced before revealing that Jack’s entering a new phase of his development.
“I think I’m really loving this age. Although, he told me that he thinks he has an armpit hair. So, it’s happening,” she revealed, prompting Justin to say jokingly: “Get ready, honey.”
Earlier in the interview, Anna also discussed the process of becoming a stepmom to her husband’s 17- and-20-year-old kids, admitting that she had been “stumbling through that position” for a while.
“When I first entered into their lives, I had no idea how to relate to them. So I remember trying to be really cool,” Anna said, confessing that she soon realized it was better to give her stepkids some space.
“It was an uphill battle,” she added.
