American actors Chris Pratt and Anna Faris have reportedly announced that they will be separating after eight years of marriage in statements shared by them through their social media handles.

The couple who have been together since 2009, have stated that their attempts to save their relationship were futile and that they will go in for a split. They also have a son named Jack. Pratt’s post had the words, “Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed. 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.”
