Chris Pratt’s Mother’s Day Post Sparks Controversy

Hollywood star Chris Pratt caused a stir on social media after he shared a Mother’s Day tribute to the mothers in his life, but failed to mention his ex-wife Anna Faris by name. The post included a family photo of Pratt, his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, his mom Kathy Pratt, and mother-in-law Maria Shriver. Pratt dedicated the post to “the mothers out there” and gave a special shoutout to Schwarzenegger, calling her a “wonderful partner” and “the best step mama to Jack.”

Divided Opinions

While many followers praised the post, others were quick to criticize Pratt for not mentioning Faris, the mother of his 10-year-old son Jack. Some commenters accused Pratt of double standards and making Faris a villain, while others defended him, saying that it’s not normal for parents to make social media posts about their exes, even if they share children.

Defenders Speak Out

Defenders of Pratt were quick to hit back at the criticism, with one commenter saying, “If it’s your ex partner you shouldn’t have to include them in anything unless you see fit. I’d do the same.” Another added, “You all are clearly not children of divorce & it shows. I don’t wish it on anyone, but it’s NOT normal for parents to make social media posts about their exes, even if they share children.”

Pratt’s Message

Pratt’s Mother’s Day message read, “Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there. Especially grateful today for Katherine. You’re a wonderful partner. You’ve provided me such a blessed life. Our two daughters are so lucky to have you and you’re the best step mama to Jack. And to my mom, Kathy, you raised us with such love and light and laughter — so grateful for you today and always. And to Maria, the best Mama G, I’m lucky to have you as a mother-in-law. And to all of the other moms in my life, I’m so grateful for all you do — thank you so much. Hope you feel celebrated today.”

Final Thoughts

While opinions may be divided on Pratt’s Mother’s Day post, it’s clear that he wanted to show his appreciation for the mothers in his life. Whether or not he should have mentioned Faris by name is up for debate, but ultimately it’s his decision to make.
