The House Bunny actress and Pratt, 38, called it quits in July 2017 and he filed for divorce five months later. Faris opened up about coparenting their son Jack with the Guardians of the Galaxy actor during an exclusive interview with Us in January.

“I think it’s just the general idea of making sure that [Jack’s] surrounded by a lot of love and happiness and we’re really good at that,” she explained. “We have amazing friends and incredible family and we just feel safe and protected and happy and so far he is. He’s pretty hysterical.”
