Chris Pratt has been married and divorced along his journey from little-known comedic actor to A-lister.
These days, he rarely mentions Anna Faris. But for years, they were a beloved Hollywood couple.
He moved on, becoming part of the Schwarzenegger family when he married the former governor’s daughter, Katherine.
Where do things stand today, and how did he get there?

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris married in 2009
In August of 2017, Chris Pratt and then-wife Anna Faris announced their separation.
They had been together for a decade, and married for most of that time.
He filed for divorce in December of that year. The erstwhile couple finalized their divorce in October of 2018.
Pratt and Faris continue to share their beloved son, Jack, whom they welcomed in 2012.

In some ways, this divorce coincided with a downgrade in Pratt’s public image, even as his fame only continued to rise.
There were other issues, including Pratt’s sometimes inconsistent statements on his beliefs, some admittedly unfair assumptions, and a classic case of massive overexposure.
But some fans took the split personally, believing it to be a sign that Pratt — perhaps due to his meteoric rise from niche funny guy to MCU star — had changed for the worst.
But he would move on, and find love again.

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger married in 2019
In June of 2018, Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger were spotted together for the first time on what looked to be a scenic Santa Barbara date.
The romance was still new at the time, but things swiftly became more serious.
In January of 2019, Pratt announced that the two were engaged.
Then, in June of 2019, after only one year of publicly dating, Pratt and Schwarzenegger married.

Pratt and Schwarzenegger welcomed their first daughter in 2020.
In 2022, they welcomed their second daughter, followed by a son in 2024.
It may be of interest to some that, by marrying Schwarzenegger, Pratt also became a member of the extended Kennedy family.
That’s a bit of a mixed bag, but what family isn’t?

Though Chris Pratt remains a divisive figure among movie fans for a variety of reasons, his marriage to Katherine Schwarzenegger remains undivided.
The two are together as of late spring 2025, with no indications that this will change in the near future.
All marriages end. Some only end in death after many decades of happiness and love.
If you’re a fan of the 1994 film classic Pulp Fiction, then you’ll likely remember the scene in which Samuel L. Jackson recites Ezekiel 25:17 before emptying his clip into the dudes who wound up with his boss’ briefcase.
And apparently, the ultimate high-powered hitman Pete Hegseth found the chapter and verse so inspirational that he recited them at a recent Pentagon prayer event.
The only problem is, the words from Quentin Tarantino’s beloved film don’t appear anywhere in the Bible.

“This prayer was recited by Sandy 1, which is one of the Sandies, to all Sandies, all those A-10 crews, prior to all CSAR missions, but especially this CSAR mission, which happened in real time,” Hegseth said.
“They call it CSAR 25:17, which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17.
“So the prayer is CSAR 25:17 and it reads, and pray with me please, ‘The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,” the defense secretary continued (as seen in the video below).
“Blessed is he who in the name of camaraderie and duty shepherds the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children.
“And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother, and you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee. Amen.”
In the King James translation of the Bible, Ezekiel 25:17 reads simply:
“And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.”
However, the version that Jules Winfield hisses before he unloads on Big Brain Brad goes like this:
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
“Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children.
“And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon thee.”
In typical Tarantino fashion, the quote is cribbed from a 1970s Japanese martial arts movie titled Bodyguard Kiba.
So Hegseth was working with a copy of a copy that had apparently been repurposed by members of the Air Force.
They might not believe in climate change, but this administration sure likes recycling.
With less than two months’ notice, Meghan Trainor has canceled her 2026 tour.
She claims that this is about being “present” for her family.
But folks on social media are floating another theory about the controversial singer.

The ‘Get in Girl’ tour isn’t happening! Not this year, anyway
On Thursday, April 16, Trainor took to her Instagram Story to share her updated 2026 plans.
“After a lot of reflection and some really tough conversations, I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the ‘Get in Girl’ tour,” she began.
“Balancing the release of a new album, preparing for a nationwide tour,” she explained.
Trainor continued: “And welcoming our new baby girl to our growing family of five has just been more than I can take on right now.”
As we reported in January, the singer welcomed her third child via gestational carrier (surrogate).

“I know this will come as a disappointment to my fans,” Trainor acknowledged.
“And,” she expressed, “I am so sorry to let you down.”
Trainor then affirmed: “But I know this is the right decision for my family and me right now.” That is now a family of five.
“I promise I’ll be back soon,” she vowed. “And I can’t wait for you to hear this new record.”
Trainor concluded: “I’m so proud of it and I’m endlessly grateful for your love and support always.”

On social media, some suggest an alternative explanation
She’s 32 and has three young children.
That might be enough to make anyone change their summer plans.
But having a child isn’t exactly something that happens overnight. The pregnancy alone lasts for most of a year.
And, in Trainor’s case, they welcomed Baby #3 via gestational carrier.
That involves a whole other person, not to mention doctors and IVF treatments. Becoming a family of five didn’t happen by accident or suddenly, so why plan this and the tour?
Obviously, we do not have access to Trainor’s ticket sales — or to what expectations were before launching the tour. But it’s a solid theory, however unproven.
As we at THG have emphasized before, going into someone’s reply to shame or “express concern” about a celebrity is very unlikely to prompt any changes.
Everyone deserves to have the body that they most desire. But people are right to have ethical concerns and reasonable to express long-term health worries about people buying into medicalized starvation as a weight-loss solution.
Maybe Trainor isn’t able to fill seats anymore. She’s married to a Spy Kids star and has three beautiful kids. She’s arguably still winning. We just hope that she doesn’t come to regret some of her incendiary choices.
First came love, then came marriage, but a pregnant Gwen Stefani? Is that really a possibility?
Ever since Gwen and Blake Shelton got together, fans have been eager for them to start a family of their own.
Rumors have been flying for years, with “sources” suggesting everything from medical miracles to secret pregnancies and beyond.
On the flip side, there have also been reports that the pair are headed for a split, but we choose to ignore that noise.
So, is Gwen Stefani, who turned 56 in October, pregnant? Let’s discuss what we know.

Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton Love Being Parents
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton started dating in late 2015, shortly after both of them divorced their respective spouses.
While they seemingly had nothing in common, it was clear from the start that they were perfectly aligned when it came to the importance of family.
Gwen gave birth to three children with her ex, Gavin Rossdale: Kingston, Zuma and Apollo.
Meanwhile, Blake had no children of his own with his ex-wife, Miranda Lambert. In fact, some insiders suggested that the lack of kids was the reason for their split.
From the moment Blake joined the family, it was clear he was eager to be a role model for Gwen’s boys and took to being a “stepdad” even before it was official.
In fact, he’s become such a mentor to the boys, he’s even started helping them launch their own musical careers! How about that!

Is Gwen Stefani Pregnant with Blake Shelton’s Child?
Cards on the table: no, Gwen isn’t pregnant. At least, not that she has announced.
But it’s not completely out of the question that these two will still have a kid together – especially since they have been trying for over 7 years!
Gwen and Blake did not get married until 2021, but for years before that, it was reported that the pair were “hyper-focused on getting pregnant.”
Insiders close to the couple told outlets like Us Weekly that their bond was so strong, Blake and Gwen put having a kid ahead of getting married for many years.

“They believe there is still a chance for Gwen,” said an Shelton insider. “They are incredibly hopeful.”
Despite having 3 successful pregnancies, Gwen was in her late 40’s when she started dating Blake.
While celebs like Janet Jackson welcomed children into their 50’s, insiders explained that Gwen needed some help if she was going to conceive.
“Gwen would love to get pregnant, things with Blake are so perfect, having a baby with him would be the icing on the cake.,” a Gwen insider told HollywoodLife.com.
“She’s a big believer in alternative medicine so she wants to do it in the most natural way possible. She’s been getting acupuncture and working with a Chinese herbalist to increase her fertility.”

However, as we know, as of 2024, any attempts to have a baby have not proven fruitful yet.
Still, there is always adoption and surrogacy. And ,with them both off The Voice now, there would be no real time to focus on a family.
Gwen Stefani Loves Being A Mother
“I waited my whole life to be a mom. That’s all I wanted, my entire life”
The rock star mom appeared on a 2024 episode of The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Show‘s podcast, and she discussed how hard it was to juggle her kids while working, even though she loved being a mom.
From working on her solo album to touring with No Doubt, Kingston was always by her side.
“It just felt so real and right. I got so ripped off on that tour because I was so sick. I ended up taking the baby when he was 9 months and going and doing a world tour, like 120 shows … We’re in a hotel one day and I thought that I had to stop nursing because I was like, ‘How am I going to nurse and be on stage?'”

With all that said, Gwen had thought, once upon a time, that she was too old to have another child. Then her oldest, Kingston started asking her to have another sibling.
“I was like, ‘I’m too old. I’m not having any more babies. I’m sorry, love,’ ” she said. “He just wanted a baby, so he would start praying every night for this baby. Four weeks later, praying every night like, ‘Please, let my mom have a baby,’ and I’m pregnant with Apollo.”
Gwen calls that pregnancy a miracle. She also admits she’s been lucky enough to have 3 miracles happen in her lifetime.
“[Hosting The Voice] was the second miracle. The first miracle was getting pregnant. The second was The Voice. And then the third was, obviously, meeting Blake.”
Perhaps a fourth miracle is due? Fourth baby, fourth miracle – stranger things have happened!
Since then, she has warned, her condition has been getting worse.
Now, Applegate has reportedly been hospitalized under a veil of secrecy.

She was hospitalized just a couple of weeks ago
TMZreports that Applegate has been hospitalized in Los Angeles.
Specifically, the tabloid details, she was admitted in late March. If anyone knows the exact date, they aren’t sharing.
Prior to this report, the biggest hint that something was awry came on March 31.
Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler are co-hosts on the MeSsy podcast. At the end of last month, Sigler announced that the show would be on hiatus — briefly — while both women are on book tours.
Under the circumstances, it sounds like the truth may have been a little more serious than that.
A representative for Applegate declined to confirm the hospitalization when speaking to Page Six, and kept things deeply vague.
“I have no comment on whether she is in the hospital or what her medical treatments are,” the rep began.
“She’s had a long history of complicated medical conditions,” the rep acknowledged, “that she has been refreshingly open about.”
Applegate’s rep then added: “as evidenced in her memoir and on her podcast.”
Her recent memoir, You With the Sad Eyes, documented both her time in the entertainment industry and her struggle with MS.

It has been 5 years since she was diagnosed
Back in August of 2021, Applegate first revealed her diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
“Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. It’s been a strange journey,” she tweeted at the time.
“But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition,” she added.
“It’s been a tough road,” Applegate’s 2021 tweet acknowledged. “But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a–hole blocks it.”
Her tweet concluded: “As one of my friends that has MS said, ‘We wake up and take the indicated action.’ And that’s what I do. So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing. Thank you xo.”
Applegate has been extremely candid about her worsening condition as her MS battle continues.
She has opened up about wearing diapers, about being mostly confined to bed, and more.
Sigler, her podcast co-host, has been living with relapsing MS for over two decades.
However, we have to emphasize that we do not actually know if Applegate’s hospitalization was related to her MS.
It is natural to assume that a secret hospitalization might stem from her worsening health battle. But we do not actually know.

Her current status is unknown
For a full decade, Applegate starred on Married … with Children, a tongue-in-cheek sitcom known for breaking a lot of “family sitcom” conventions.
That was her breakout role.
Many would argue that it was her role in Anchorman that cemented her legacy as a
Since then, she has starred in many projects, including on Netflix, introducing herself to new audiences.
We hope that all is well, and will keep Applegate in our thoughts.
We have horrifying news to report out of Virginia today.
Justin Fairfax, 47, a prominent lawyer and former lieutenant governor of Virginia, appears to have died by suicide after murdering his wife, Cerina Fairfax.
The shootings reportedly took place just after midnight on Thursday.

Police say the Fairfaxes had been in the throes of a “messy divorce” since July of last year.
“It is high-profile in nature, it’s tragic in nature. Certainly a fall from grace for a relatively high profile family that seemingly had had a lot of things going in their favor,” Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said in a statement, according to The New York Post.
“So tragic for the children to lose both parents, extra tragic for them to actually be in the home when it occurred. So yeah, there’s a lot going on,” Davis continued, adding:
“This has been an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce.
“I don’t think it’s a secret that there’s been a divorce proceedings that have been ongoing.
“From what I understand in this early stage, former Lieutenant Governor Fairfax was recently served some paperwork associated with an upcoming court proceeding that apparently led to this incident last night.”
The former lieutenant governor had been on local authorities’ radar for several months.
Back in January, Justin falsely accused Cerina of physically assaulting him inside their home.
Police determined that he had made a false report after reviewing security camera footage.
It was not the first time that Fairfax had been embroiled in public controversy.

According to the Post, two women accused him of sexually assaulting them in 2000 and 2004.
The claims surfaced in 2019, apparently helping to bring about the end of the Fairfaxes’ marriage.
Fairfax maintained that the encounters were consensual, and he refused to resign from his post.
He launched his own failed bid for the governorship in 2021.
Fairfax was eventually ousted from his lieutenant governor post with the election of Republican Winsome Earle-Sears in 2022.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
In a peculiar and controversial CBS Town Hall, Erika Kirk addresses conspiracy theories regarding her late husband’s death. (Image Credit: CBS)
She couldn’t make it due to an alleged threat against her person
On Tuesday, April 14, Erika quote-tweeted a Fox News video of Andrew Kolvet and JD Vance.
The two men were seated on stage in front of several dozen members of the far-right Turning Point USA organization.
Kolovet announced that Erika had skipped the event as a result of “some very serious threats in her direction.”
Obviously, he tried to make use of this claim, calling the alleged threats a “terrible reflection of the state of reality in the state of the country.”
There are certainly terrible reflections of the state of the country and reality itself in this video. But the alleged threat to Erika is unsubstantiated.

In her quote-tweet, Erika put her own spin on her absence from the event.
“I was so looking forward to tonight’s event at the @universityofga with our Vice President @JDVance,” the controversial widow claimed.
“But after all our family has been through,” Erika explained, “I take my security team’s recommendations extremely seriously.”
She is likely referring to Charlie Kirk’s death in September of last year.
“Thank you to our amazing Georgia chapter for your support,” Erika concluded. “God bless you all!”

Say what you will about Candace Owens, but she is a dedicated hater
Like so many others, Candace Owens struggled to believe that Erika was at risk of anything but being photograph in front of a room of mostly empty seats.
(The fairly large auditorium was mostly empty.)
“Stop. This is exhausting. You pulled out because of bad ticket sales,” Owens accused. “For the same reason TPFaith had to ‘reschedule’ the Pastor’s Summit and various other events quietly.”
She added: “People don’t believe you and don’t line up for you because you struggle to tell the truth about even the most basic facts.”
Owens demanded: “Where is the video of Charlie appointing you as CEO weeks before his death?”
In a lengthy tweet, Candace Owens poked holes in Erika Kirk’s claims. She suggests that the real “threat” was bad PR from appearing before a crowd of empty chairs. (Image Credit: Twitter)
“Were there actually a viable threat,” she suggested, “the Vice President would not have continued the event.”
Owens scathingly continued: “Your closest threat is the s–t Public Relations team you hired that continues to operate under the delusion that they are smarter than the public.”
She concluded: “They aren’t.”
The line about the Secret Service is particularly persuasive. What sort of threat would send Erika into hiding, but allow JD Vance to oafishly sit on the stage and whine about the pope without fear?

Reality check
As always, you do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it” to Candace Owens.
She is a bad person who tends to identify and latch onto real problems but then suggests bogus and bigoted explanations or solutions.
However, this is an example in which she latches onto a popular idea — that Erika is a bad, dishonest person — and runs with it. That helps her grow her audience, to whom she spouts unhinged nonsense.
Interestingly, this particular tweet didn’t delve into the theory that Erika felt shy about appearing on stage with JD Vance. Remember, they had some weird vibes together after Charlie was out of the picture.
It’s unclear whether the dozens who gathered below the stage, or any of the ghosts in empty seats, felt disappointed at Erika’s absence from the event. So, whether or not Erika felt scared off by any tangible threats, it’s unlikely that anyone was missing out.
