Anna Faris shares rare, bittersweet update on son with ex Chris Pratt after devastating loss of family home
Anna Faris has an uplifting update amid a devastating time for her family.
The The House Bunny actress was one of thousands that earlier this year lost their homes after wildfires ravaged much of Los Angeles. Other public figures who lost homes include Billy Crystal, Martin Short, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Eric Christian Olsen, Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Paris Hilton, and Miles Teller, among many others.
The comedian’s son with ex-husband Chris Pratt, Jack, also lost his school, and she just gave some insight into how he is coping.
Speaking with E! News, Anna first noted: “We’re one of thousands,” adding: “And we feel really fortunate that we’re safe and have a lot of support.”
She then shared that among some of the belongings that she lost were the shoes she wore for her iconic The House Bunny role in 2008.
“It’s funny with the stuff — not to go on about it, but I did have all of my shoes from the movie, and now they’re gone,” she said, though maintained: “But I know it’s just stuff and memories. And thank goodness that it’s out so I can look at them again somewhere.”

The doting mom further noted: “That also is confirmation to me that he’s strong and he’s even keeled.”

Anna and Jack’s dad Chris were married from 2009 to 2018, and she has since married Michael Barrett, while the Marvel actor has been married to Katherine Schwarzenegger since 2019, with whom he shares two daughters and a son.
