Anna Faris is a prolific actress in Hollywood. She rose to fame with her role as ‘Cindy Campbell’ in the Scary Movie films. She also appeared in the hit sitcom, Friends, as ‘Erica’. Apart from her professional life, Anna has always garnered the spotlight for her personal life. Over the years, Anna has had a fair share of relationships. For the unversed, Anna was married thrice. She has never shied away from accepting her past relationships.

During a podcast, Anna accepted that in her two broken marriages, there was a bit of competition that created tensions. Currently, Anna is happily married to cinematographer, Michael Barrett. Earlier, she was married to actor, Ben Indra for four years from 2004 to 2008. After her split from Ben, Anna eloped with actor, Chris Pratt. As of 2026, Anna’s long-standing romance was with actor, Chris. Now, if you are interested in knowing about Anna’s personal life, we’ve got you covered.

Anna Faris parted ways with her first husband, Ben Indra, after 4 years of marriage

Anna Faris first crossed paths with Ben Indra on the sets of Lover’s Lane. Before tying the knot in 2004, it was Ben who proposed to Anna twice. However, their marriage hit a rough patch in 2007. Later, in 2008, she got divorced from Ben. According to her 2015 autobiography, Unqualified, Anna admitted that she had strong feelings for Chris Pratt, for which she left Ben. At the time, her three-year marriage with Ben was not working out. However, back then, she was not fully honest with herself about her feelings for Chris. In her autobiography, Anna wrote:

“Sure, I get to proclaim that I didn’t fuck Chris before I left Ben, but what is there to celebrate in that? It didn’t make me a hero. After all, I wanted to. Desperately. And I had feelings for him obviously, even if I wasn’t honest with myself about what those were.”

Anna Faris’ long-standing romance with actor, Chris Pratt that lasted for 10 years

In 2007, Anna met Pratt on the sets of Take Me Home Tonight. Soon, the duo became friends. At the time, Anna was married to Ben, but their marriage was not working out. On the other hand, Chris was hooking up with other actresses. In her 2015 autobiography, Unqualified, Anna revealed that she was feeling jealous about Chris’ growing closeness with the other actresses. However, Anna understood her true feelings for Chris on an evening when she was spending time with her co-stars at Chris’ apartment. Anna spoke about the following to a friend, who suggested to act “immediately and effectively” to end her marriage to Ben.

Taking her friend’s suggestion, Anna ended her relationship with Ben over the phone. Despite Ben trying to save their relationship and saying she was just tired, Anna was adamant and said, “Nope, I’m leaving you.” Soon after this declaration, Anna went to Chris and admitted her love for him openly. In her autobiography, Anna wrote, “I went to set and was like, ‘Hey, everybody! I just left my husband.’ Pretty soon, I was knocking on Chris’s door and was basically like, ‘Hi, I’m ready to get boned.'”

Eventually, Chris and Anna eloped in 2009. After three years, in 2012, the couple welcomed their first child, a son. However, their seemingly happy marriage came to an end in 2017, when they announced their separation. Back then, Pratt took to his Facebook account and wrote, “We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another.”

When Anna Faris opened up about her life after getting divorced twice

In a 2022 conversation with Chelsea Handler on his podcast, Dear Chelsea, Anna opened up about her life after getting divorced twice. She called herself a divorce veteran as she was divorced twice. Anna highlighted that when she parted ways with Ben, it hit her hard. She turned into a completely different person, whom she herself couldn’t recognise. Anna added that during that phase, she felt free and liberated, but deep down, she felt insecure. She was quoted as saying:

“I’m like a divorce veteran because I’ve been divorced twice. It hit hard the first time. I turned into somebody that I didn’t recognise. I was always the kind of person who had their fridge filled. And I hosted a lot of dinners. That was back when I had friends. I had no one to text or call and say, ‘Hey, can I do this?’ essentially. I was terrified that I wasn’t a good lover. Especially when I was younger, I was so self-conscious of my body. I didn’t want anybody to see it. But I would dance on the edges of it. I wanted to be desired desperately.”

Anna Faris is now happily married to cinematographer, Michael Barrett

Anna met her now-husband, Michael Barrett, on the sets of Overboard. In 2019, she tied the knot with Michael Barrett. In a 2022 interview with People, Anna shared that this marriage is very different from her previous marriage. She added that the best part of her marriage to Michael Barrett is the feeling of security. She was quoted as saying:

“We realised early on that we didn’t want to be apart, as so many people have to do in this industry. And so we really prioritised getting to be together, which is new for me. I’ve normally, in my other marriages, spent a lot of time apart. And so I think the feeling of consistent security and safety is now … I really appreciate that, the maturity of it.”
