Insiders also shared the same sentiments to US Weekly. It should be noted that Anna Faris’ career was on a roll when they married in July 2009. Her roles in The House Bunny, Scary Movie 4, and Brokeback Mountain contributed to her rising fame. At that time, Chris Pratt just launched his TV show, Parks and Recreation. Soon after, the situations reversed after the NBC sitcom took off, landing the 38-year-old actor in leading roles.

“Chris became this huge movie star and Anna wasn’t getting any big jobs,” an insider told the magazine. “She was the more famous and sexy one at the start of their relationship and then things took a turn.”

A similar case happened with her previous marriage with actor Ben Indra. Faris’ interview with Marie Claire in 2011 revealed that her success was to be blamed for the divorce. She said that her fame had destroyed their marriage.

Lastly, there were tensions in their relationship when rumors of an affair between Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt made headlines. The 40-year-old actress admitted that it made her feel vulnerable when her husband was on tour and filming. She confessed that the rumors and the time spent away made her feel incredibly insecure, E News added.
