almost two months early and spent

a month in a neonatal intensive-care

unit. “It must have been jarring for

other people to come in and see him,

but to us he was so beautiful.”

Faris said she “couldn’t feel more

proud” as she watched her husband

go fromParks and Recreation

schlub to Hollywood’s hottest new

leading man inGuardians of the

Galaxy andJurassic World. But the

big paychecks came with lengthy

shooting schedules that kept the

couple apart for long periods. “Chris

is in high demand and jetting all over

the world working with beautiful

women while Anna is mostly in L.A.

for her work,” says an insider. “That

hurt their relationship.” In

December Faris opened up on her

podcast,Anna Faris Is Unqualified,

about “feeling so hurt” by talk of

marriage trouble. “In this crazy

world where he’s off doing movies

and I’m in L.A. raising our child, of

course I’m going to feel vulnerable,”

she said. Recently there were signs

the pair had found new happiness:

Faris joined Pratt on the press tour

for theGuardians sequel in April,

he upgraded her engagement ring in

August, and they talked of having

another child. But there were also

signs of an unraveling. “There’s

definitely a loneliness...to being a

performer,” Faris said on the July 31

episode of her podcast. “I feel like

Ihave to laugh.”

Though they’ve chosen to

separate, the couple say that Jack

will remain their focus. Friends say

they share a deep love, but that in the

end, “it had become too difficult,

with each leading totally different

lives,” says the insider. “They just

grew apart.”
