Chris Pratt Praises Katherine's Parenting – But Where's the Shout-Out to Anna Faris?
Chris Pratt's latest Instagram post celebrating Mother's Day has sparked a flurry of discussion online, and not all of it’s positive. While the Guardians of the Galaxy star showered his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, with praise for her parenting skills, many fans noticed a distinct absence: any mention of his ex-wife, Anna Faris, and their son, Jack.
The post, shared on Sunday (May 11th) to mark Mother's Day in the US, featured a heartwarming photo of Katherine playing with their two young children, Eloise and Charlie. Pratt’s caption was effusive, detailing his admiration for Katherine’s nurturing nature and dedication to their family. He wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day to the best mama in the world! You are an incredible mom. I love you so much. So grateful to be on this journey with you.”
While many fans applauded Pratt’s heartfelt tribute to Katherine, the lack of acknowledgement for Anna Faris, with whom he shares 10-year-old son Jack, quickly became a talking point. Some commenters pointed out the importance of acknowledging all parental figures in a child's life, particularly on a day dedicated to mothers. Others expressed surprise and disappointment, noting the amicable relationship Pratt and Faris seem to maintain, frequently sharing supportive comments on each other’s social media posts. A few even questioned whether the omission was intentional, leading to a debate about co-parenting etiquette and public perception.
Pratt and Faris were married for eight years before announcing their separation in 2017. They have since maintained a friendly and respectful relationship, often speaking positively about each other in interviews. Faris has previously spoken about the importance of their co-parenting relationship and how they prioritize Jack’s well-being. Their continued support for each other, despite their divorce, has been seen as a model for amicable separations.
The Instagram post has garnered a significant number of likes and comments, with a mix of celebratory messages for Katherine and concerned inquiries about Anna. The situation highlights the complexities of navigating public life and co-parenting, especially when social media is involved. It also raises questions about how celebrities balance personal relationships with the demands of maintaining a public image.
As of now, Pratt hasn't addressed the criticism or clarified his decision to exclude Anna from the post. It remains to be seen whether he will offer any further comment on the matter. For now, the discussion continues to swirl online, with fans weighing in on the appropriateness of his actions and the impact on his family's dynamic.
