Pratt and Faris Reunite for Son’s Milestone

SANTA MONICA, CA — Chris Pratt and Anna Faris shared a warm embrace at their son Jack’s sixth-grade graduation, marking their first public reunion since finalizing their divorce nearly seven years ago. The former couple stood side-by-side outside the ceremony, beaming with pride as their 12-year-old son celebrated his academic milestone—a poignant moment for parents who once navigated Hollywood’s spotlight as spouses and now thrive as dedicated co-parents.

A Blended Family Celebration

The graduation transformed into a heartfelt family affair. Pratt’s wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, joined the gathering, capturing photos of Pratt and Faris flanking Jack in his cap and gown. Faris, radiant in a black-and-white ensemble with her signature platinum pixie cut, later shared hugs with both Pratt and Schwarzenegger. The trio’s easy rapport underscored years of conscious effort to prioritize Jack’s well-being over past differences. Schwarzenegger’s presence—cheerful and supportive—highlighted the modern dynamic they’ve cultivated: one where stepparents and biological parents unite for the child’s big moments.

Triumph Over Early Challenges

Jack’s graduation held profound symbolism for the family. Born nine weeks premature in 2012, he weighed just three pounds and spent weeks in neonatal intensive care. Both Pratt and Faris have openly reflected on those harrowing early days, making this celebration of his health and growth especially emotional. “Every milestone feels like a victory,” Faris once shared on her podcast. Their joyful presence at his graduation visibly honored that journey.

From Divorce to Mutual Respect

The graduation stood in stark contrast to their last public appearance in 2018, where tension lingered months after their split. Since then, both have rebuilt their lives—Pratt married Schwarzenegger in 2019, and Faris wed cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021. Though fan debates occasionally flare (like critiques of Pratt’s Mother’s Day posts), the family has consistently modeled grace. Faris summed up their philosophy simply: “We surround Jack with love. Holding grudges isn’t in our playbook.”

A Blueprint for Co-Parenting

This reunion didn’t just showcase smiles—it revealed a hard-earned harmony. Faris once mused about her “fantasy” of blended-family holidays; at Jack’s graduation, that vision felt realized. Schwarzenegger, who shares three children with Pratt, has publicly praised Faris’s motherhood, calling her “an incredible parent.” Their united front offers a rare Hollywood lesson: endings can transform into new beginnings when children remain the shared compass. As Jack moves toward adolescence, his parents’ embrace under the California sun whispered a powerful truth—some bonds evolve but never break.
