Anna Faris has opened up about her divorce from Chris Pratt.

Speaking with guest Rachel Bilson, Faris said she didn't have many female friends at the time of her split from Pratt, which made it harder to talk to others about her relationship struggles.

Per Daily Mirror, Faris stated:

"I never talked about any issues, so to the people, even who I was closest to, I'm sure things were more transparent with my relationship with Ben [Idra].

"But with Chris, I think that we both protected that imagery even within our close circles."

The US star then hinted that she perhaps should never have gotten married in the first place: "For me, I think after every breakup, at some point I realize that there were a lot of things I ignored that I really shouldn't have. In hindsight, it felt like my hand was forced. I don't think it was ever an independent decision.

"I really feel like calling off an engagement is a smarter, stronger, braver move than what I did. Which was like, well, I guess everyone is expecting this, so let's just go through with it."

According to People magazine, Faris first met Pratt in Los Angeles in early 2007 during the table read for the film 'Take Me Home Tonight'. It wasn't long before the pair struck up a romance, before tying the knot in Bali, Indonesia, on July 9, 2009.

The actors announced their separation in a joint statement posted to their various social media accounts in August of 2017.

In it, Pratt wrote: "Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed.

"Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward.

"We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another."
