Chris Pratt has become the target of Anna Faris’s fans who have criticised the actor over comments he made, potentially hinting at his ex-wife.
In a recent Instagram post, Pratt posted a picture of himself and his new wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, smiling at each other, with a caption that some are finding sweet but others think is shady.
Pratt praised his new partner for giving him a ‘healthy daughter’, which some have perceived as insensitive given his and Anna’s son Jack has suffered from serious health issues over the years.
He wrote: ‘Guys. For real. Look how she’s looking at me! I mean. Find you somebody that looks at you like that!! You know!?
‘We met in church. She’s given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter, she chews so loudly that sometimes i put in my ear buds to drown it out, but that’s love!
‘She helps me with everything. In return, periodically, I open a jar of pickles. That’s the trade. Her heart is pure and it belongs to me. My greatest treasure right next to my Ken Griffey Jr Upper Deck Rookie card. Which if you know, you know is saying a lot.’
He went on to add: ‘It’s her birthday in about 6 weeks. So if I don’t get her anything, I’ll tell her to look back on this post. Love you honey.’
The post received a lot of positive comments, with stars the likes of Terry Crews praising Pratt for his words.
However, many also slammed the actor for his words with some of the top comments under his post reading: ‘You forgot about your son.’
‘You do know you have a son, right? Should he also be a greatest treasure?’ wrote another.
‘I really don’t think this is as great of a post as you think it is,’ added another follower, closing his message with a series of red flag emojis.
Someone else commented: ‘Yeah, lost respect for you in this post for multiple reasons.. sad.’
‘I notice the emphasis on her “giving” you a “healthy” child. It seems your first child wasn’t good enough,’ read a further comment.
After first starting to date in 2007, Faris and Pratt marries in 2009 and had Jack two years later before splitting in 2017.
Jack was born premature, weighing only 3lbs and 12oz at birth and had to undergo numerous medical procedures as a result.
‘When Jack was born two months early, it came as a huge shock. And suddenly, your world completely shifts,’ Faris said on her podcast Unqualified in 2018.
‘Jack had a few surgeries. He had a few hernia surgeries, he’s had a few eye surgeries, and he had a little heart issue as well.’
Pratt has also previously spoken in support of his son saying: ‘I made promises in that moment about what kind of dad I wanted to be and I just prayed that he’d live long enough that I could keep them.
‘Our Jack went from a small, helpless little squirt to a strong, smart, happy, funny, beautiful boy who loves monster trucks and “Daniel Tiger”, and, believe it or not, loves vegetables. Broccoli and cherry tomatoes are his favourite foods.’
The Tomorrow War and Guardians of the Galaxy star went on to marry Schwarzenegger in June 2019 and they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Lyla Maria, in August 2020.
