Chris Pratt Was Recently Spotted In Public Without His Wedding Ring_  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Aug 7, 2017 3:25 PM UTC  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Aug 7, 2017 3:25 PM UTC [Chris Pratt](http://time.com/collection-post/3822922/chris-pratt-2015-time-100/) and [Anna Faris](http://time.com/4621770/chris-pratt-and-anna-faris-mom/), one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, announced [their separation after eight years of marriage](http://time.com/4888431/taylor-swift-chris-pratt-anna-faris/) via their social media accounts late Sunday night and as might be expected, the Internet has plenty of feelings about the split. Consider that this is a relationship where [Faris would live-tweet Pratt’s movie premieres](http://time.com/4746587/guardians-of-the-galaxy-2-anna-faris-on-chris-pratt/) and [Pratt revealed in a Reddit AMA that he wanted to star in a movie with his wife](http://time.com/4597144/chris-pratt-anna-faris-movie-together/), things that many people would term “[relationship goals](http://time.com/3707043/celebrity-relationships/)” in our modern times, which might explain why the Internet is broken hearted over their separation announcement. One Twitter user could only use a GIF to express her true feelings about the separation. > [](https://twitter.com/angelique814/status/894396959351492608) Another used a GIF that was almost too accurate. > [](https://twitter.com/AllisonSMalone/status/894397766843191296) While another wondered what chance the rest of us would have at happy and healthy relationships. > [](https://twitter.com/DinoRay/status/894394928817623040) While another feared this could be the start of other seemingly unlikely celebrity splits between beloved pairs. > [](https://twitter.com/jemimaskelley/status/894399056306356225) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4889720/chris-pratt-anna-faris-separation-reactions/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4889720/chris-pratt-anna-faris-separation-reactions/"},"headline":"The Internet Is Getting Emotional About Chris Pratt and Anna Faris Separating","datePublished":"2017-08-07T15:25:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-08T09:27:34.432Z","description":"The Internet had all of the feelings about Chris Pratt and Anna Faris' announcement that they were separating after eight years of marriage.","url":"https://time.com/4889720/chris-pratt-anna-faris-separation-reactions/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral","chris pratt"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltde074d965e824b19/6988d8b022fb85f541e22490/chris-pratt-anna-faris-separating-internet-reactions.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltde074d965e824b19/6988d8b022fb85f541e22490/chris-pratt-anna-faris-separating-internet-reactions.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2\" - UK Special Screening - Arrivals","caption":"\"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2\" - UK Special Screening - Arrivals","creditText":"Anthony Harvey—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4889720/chris-pratt-anna-faris-separation-reactions/","name":"The Internet Is Getting Emotional About Chris Pratt and Anna Faris Separating"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Chris Pratt & Anna Faris Are Separating: 'We Tried Hard for a Long Time'","description":"Chris Pratt Was Recently Spotted In Public Without His Wedding Ring","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/sQwjUIZn/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-08-07T13:08:48.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/sQwjUIZn.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4889720/chris-pratt-anna-faris-separation-reactions/","duration":"PT33S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4889720/chris-pratt-anna-faris-separation-reactions/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
