Anna Faris has something to say about it.
Kermie and Miss Piggy. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt. Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick . These are the couples that have split this year, in order of importance.
The one thing these former couples have in common (well, most of them. Interspecies procreation is not yet possible)? Each of them has had to deal with vicious cheating rumours while trying to keep it together mentally and/or parent children.
If breaking up is hard to do, then being a couple in Hollywood is virtually impossible.
Anna Faris has described constant speculation that her husband Chris Pratt is cheating on her “stinging”.
We’d add “rude”, “insulting”, “spurious” and “sexist” to her description.
In 2007, actress Faris met actor Pratt.
At that time, she was the (much) bigger star of the two, as the lead in the hugely successful Scary Movie franchise.
Pratt had had stints on Everwood (more like Ever-heard-of-it, amirite?) and the O.C. and didn’t quite possess the chiselled action-hero bod he owns today.
Faris was aware of many charms of Chris Pratt well before the rest of the world came around to Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recreation.
Now, fast-forward to 2015, and Faris, 38, is still killing it, starring in the TV series Mom with Allison Janney, while Pratt, 36, has really hit it big in Hollywood, becoming the bonafide movie star of blockbusters such as Jurassic World, Guardians of the Galaxy and The Lego Movie.
