During their marriage of eight years, the couple welcomed a son, Jack Pratt, who their raised together. However, Pratt’s fans were shocked when he suddenly announced his split after news about Faris dating another man came to light.
On August 7, 2017, Pratt took to social media to share the news publicly. While expressing his sadness over parting ways with Faris, he shared that the couple had tried to fix things between them, but nothing worked.
“Our son has two parents who love him very much, and for his sake, we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward,” the “Wanted” actor added.
