Chris Pratt’s Mother’s Day Tribute to Wife Sparks Debate Over Ex Anna Faris and Co-Parenting Past

Chris Pratt shared a heartfelt Mother’s Day message on Instagram dedicated to his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger. Praising her multitasking and devotion as a mother, Pratt called her a “chief” and expressed his love and appreciation for raising their three young children—Kyla, Eloise, and infant Ford. While many fans admired the tribute, others felt it was incomplete due to a noticeable omission.

Fans Divided Over Pratt’s Omission of Anna Faris in Mother’s Day Tribute

The post led to backlash from some fans who questioned why Pratt didn’t acknowledge his ex-wife Anna Faris, the mother of his 12-year-old son Jack. Jack was born prematurely and faced severe health complications, including brain bleeding, which Faris has openly discussed. Critics felt that Faris’s role as a mother, especially considering Jack’s early struggles, also deserved recognition.

Despite the criticism, many of Pratt’s followers came to his defense, arguing that it’s not common or expected to publicly praise an ex-partner on Mother’s Day. Some noted that such a tribute could appear inappropriate given that Pratt is now married, while others pointed out the double standards involved in judging his personal decisions on social media.

Past Remarks Resurface as Pratt, Faris Work Toward a Supportive Co-Parenting Relationship

This isn’t the first time Pratt has been scrutinized for perceived insensitivity regarding Faris and their son. In a previous post, he thanked Schwarzenegger for giving him a “healthy daughter,” which some interpreted as a passive-aggressive slight toward Faris and Jack’s health challenges. This history has continued to influence how fans interpret Pratt’s online tributes.

Despite the online drama, Anna Faris has expressed that her relationship with Pratt and Schwarzenegger has improved. She described Schwarzenegger as “awesome” and praised her interactions with Jack. Faris also shared that time has helped ease past tensions and that all parties are now more supportive and protective of one another, fostering a healthier blended family dynamic.
