Back in November, Chris Pratt came under fire after a post dedicated to his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, gained a lot of negative attention. What started as a seemingly innocent Instagram post turned into a controversy that tied in Chris' son with his ex-wife, Anna Faris.
Now, nearly 8 months later, Chris is ready to address the scandal and defend his post.
Fans were in disbelief when this funny pair called it quits after nearly a decade of marriage and one son, Jack Pratt.
At birth, Jack weighed just 3 pounds, 12 ounces.
Today, Jack is nine and healthy, however, he currently has visual impairments as well as a non-life-threatening heart problem.
"We couldn’t be happier," the pair shared at the time. "Both mom and baby are doing great. We are extremely blessed."
"Guys. For real. Look how she’s looking at me! I mean. Find you somebody that looks at you like that!! You know!?" he began. "We met in church. She’s given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter, she chews so loudly that sometimes i put in my ear buds to drown it out, but that’s love!"
"That’s the trade. Her heart is pure and it belongs to me. My greatest treasure right next to my Ken Griffey Jr Upper Deck Rookie card. Which if you know, you know is saying a lot."
While some followers thought the post was sweet, a lot of others had big issues with it, mainly Chris' callout to their "healthy" daughter.
Nearly 8 months later, the actor is ready to speak about the now infamous post in a new interview with Men's Health.
"I said something like, ‘Find someone who looks at you the way my wife looks at me,'" he recalled.
"And then a bunch of articles came out and said, ‘That's so cringeworthy. I can't believe Chris Pratt would thank her for a healthy daughter when his first child was born premature. That's such a dig at his ex-wife.'"
He went on to say that the backlash made him cry, and that felt the whole thing "really [expletive] bothered me, dude."
Since this controversy, Chris and Katherine have welcomed another daughter, Eloise Christina Schwarzenegger Pratt.
We hope Anna and Jack are doing okay!
