Overview
- Faris spoke to Variety in a profile published Saturday, June 13, and said she was “feeling sad” during the 2017–2018 split with Pratt.
- She credited hosting a small, personal project started in 2015 with giving her purpose and a way to connect when the divorce was unfolding.
- Faris said she tried to limit how much the entertainment world influenced her life but acknowledged 26 years of fame had shaped her experience and exposure to public scrutiny.
- The former couple, who married in 2009 and share son Jack (born 2012), have kept many details private, maintained cooperative co‑parenting and later remarried (Pratt in 2019 and Faris in 2021).
- Faris framed the project as both an emotional lifeline and a career pivot that helped her imagine new creative and financial paths after the split, a theme she raised while promoting Scary Movie 6.
