Jennifer Lawrence has often been the target of good old Hollywood rumors. Still, she is also famous for her confidence in standing up for herself, shutting down false stories about her personal life, and maintaining her privacy. The spiciest piece of gossip about the famous actress focuses on the supposed love affair between Lawrence and her โPassengersโ costar, Chris Pratt. At the time of filming, Pratt was married to actress and podcaster Anna Faris, but their divorce in 2017 rekindled this rumor.ย
In the midst of touring for her movie โRed Sparrow,โ Jennifer Lawrence did an interview with KISS UK, where she addressed the most controversial rumor about her private life. She emphasized that her relationship with Chris Pratt while filming โPassengersโ and afterward has been nothing more than friendly. The actress firmly denied the speculations about her being the reason for Pratt and Anna Farisโ divorce.
Jennifer Lawrence admittedly felt the most vulnerable during the filming of her steamy โPassengersโ scene with Chris Pratt, so much so that she turned to her mother for reassurance. Despite her feelings about the scene, it kickstarted the spread of rumors of the two actorsโ on-set affair. Although these rumors died down, they became popular again after Chris Pratt divorced Anna Faris in 2017.
In the abovementioned interview, the A-list actress denied ever having an affair with Chris Pratt. She recounted her shock when the public immediately supposed she had been the culprit for Pratt and Farisโ divorce. The filming of โPassengersโ lasted from September 2015 to February 2016, while Pratt and Faris put an end to their marriage in August 2017.ย
Multiple rumors about Chris Prattโs infidelity circulated during his marriage with Anna Faris, which prompted the successful comedian and podcaster to speak out about how these rumors shook their relationship. As Faris explained in her podcast, โUnqualified,โ she and Pratt regularly discussed the disadvantages of being in the public eye. However, this didnโt resolve her constant insecurity concerning their marriage.
While reflecting on her relationship with her now ex-husband in a 2021 episode of her podcast, Anna Faris admitted that she never shared her marriage problems with her inner circle, and neither did Pratt. After the divorce, Faris realized that there were a lot of issues in their relationship that she shouldnโt have ignored.ย
However, according to Faris, she and Pratt have remained good friends and are here for each other even after their divorce. She affectionately recounts how their careers grew side by side and says they still make each other laugh. โThere is still so much laughter in our lives together, and he is so proud of me, still,โ the actress explained.
Like most celebrity couples who parted ways, fans on the Internet were devastated over Faris and Prattโs breakup. Faris acknowledged these sentiments on her podcast and confirmed that she still loves her ex-husband as a close friend. โAll I can say about that is, itโs all true, that we truly adore each other, and we love each other; I think it still comes through,โ she stated.ย
In her book "Unqualified," Anna Faris addressed the speculations about Pratt and Lawrenceโs affair. She recounted receiving warnings of possible rumors even before they started spreading. According to Farisโ testimony, her publicist warned her of possible fabricated stories about Lawrence and Pratt during the filming of โPassengers.โย
Although Anna Faris admitted that the rumors about her ex-husbandโs affair with Jennifer Lawrence had bothered her, she never blamed the downfall of her and Prattโs marriage on Lawrence. In fact, what really bothered her was the way she allowed tabloid stuff to get to her.
Despite the speculations, Anna Faris and Jennifer Lawrence have always remained on good terms, with Faris emphasizing that Lawrence did nothing wrong. As proof of their amicable relationship, Lawrence appeared on Farisโ podcast.ย
Being a Hollywood star comes with a lot of glory, but the main disadvantage is salacious stories about your personal life emerging out of the blue. The rumors about Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Prattโs affair prove this.ย
