“When I first met Chris, I was constantly looking for proof that he was not as great as he seemed,”Faris was recalled in her memoir Unqualified. “You might think that, fresh off an almost decade-long relationship, I would be hesitant to move on to the next, but I couldn’t have fallen more headfirst into my feelings for Chris.”
The feelings were mutual. Pratt was told by Faris that she was filing for divorce form Idra. Pratt saysHe knew he was going for her marriage. Of course, the wedding day wouldn’t come until two years later.
A Bali Ceremony Not So Traditional
Who says the most romantic proposals can’t happen in the bathroom? Faris and Pratt, who were on vacation in Bali in 2009, fell ill with food poisoning. “The really rough kind, you know, sharing the toilet,”Faris recounted his experiences to the IndependentFive years later.
“I was looking for chicken broth on the room service menu and saw the hotel also did weddings. While still feverish, Chris said, ‘Let’s do it,””She said. “So the staff found us some traditional Balinese clothes and a local priest. We had no idea what was going on, but we came back married.”
They might have pulled the trigger on a whim, but their union wasn’t a fever-induced impulse. They welcomed their first child, Jack, three years later. They were married eight years.
Where did it go wrong?
There have been some terrible celebrity divorces. Faris and Pratt, however, are not Brangelina. In August 2017, Pratt and Faris announced that they were legally divorcing. “We tried for a long time, and we’re really disappointed,”Their joint statement was read.
“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.”
