Chris Pratt and Anna Faris first met on set of their film Take Me Replica Luxury Handbag Tonight in 2007, later finding out that they both grew up 20 minutes apart in Washington state. Faris was married to actor Ben Indra at the time, but divorced in 2008 after four years of marriage.

The Parks and Recreation actor and Faris announced their engagement in January 2009. In August 2014, Pratt recalled to Esquire magazine that there was no pressure to impress Faris when they first met because she was still married to actor Ben Indra. While filming Take Me Replica Luxury Handbag Tonight, he left porn magazines out and detailed his sexual encounters when she visited his apartment.

The couple married in a small ceremony in Bali on July 9, 2009. "We aren't going to involve the family at all," Faris told Us of the couple's plans to elope at first. "Then we will go on a honeymoon." Pratt added at the time: "I feel so lucky that the person I want to be around most, I get to be around most."

The funny couple are often photographed breaking a sweat together — and spending time with their adorable French bulldog Bonzo! As for wanting to add to their family? "Maybe, but not soon," Faris told Us in 2009. "We have a dog. I hope it's in the future."

Pratt gushed about marrying the House Bunny actress to GQ in May 2012. "I married way out of my pay grade. I have no idea how that happened," he said. "She's so goddamn funny and so good. She is a legit comedy powerhouse. But I'm not going to question it too much. I don't know what it is, man. I guess chicks dig love handles or something."

Good for a Laugh

The funny actors can always keep each other laughing — even in the worst scenarios! "He thinks that he's a great singer, but he's really awful! And I don't ever want to tell him!" Faris told Us in September 2011. "I'm always like, 'Honey, you should pursue it! Pursue it — pursue your country album!' He's really terrible. But it always makes me laugh. I can't help it!"

Chris' Cat Problems!

The Everwood alum received death threats when he asked Twitter followers if anyone was interested in adopting Faris' cat in October 2011. "To those of you somehow hung up on the notion that I kicked the walker out from underneath our cat and threw her into the streets, first of all, cats don't use walkers, so that's a ridiculous notion," Pratt tweeted in response. He noted that the couple wanted to "start a family" and they can't have an animal that "sh-ts all over the house."

Joint Trailers?

Pratt and Faris' comedies Take Me Replica Luxury Handbag Tonight and What's Your Number? both came out in 2011, but still Faris had babies on the brain. "I would love to have eight kids!

Proposal Memories

Less than two months before announcing their split, the Mom actress revealed that she knew he was going to propose months before he actually did. "We had talked about getting married and were living together," Faris said on her Unqualified podcast in June 2017. "One day I found a bag from a jeweler of the floor of his truck, so I knew something was coming. I think I knew for, like, seven months. Finally he asked me on my birthday."

It's Over

The couple announced in a joint statement on August 6, 2017, that they were splitting after eight years of marriage. "Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating," the statement read. "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,” he continued. “We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another."
