In the name of love and fame, sometimes one outweighs the other. Even with the best of the best, a match made in heaven, celebrity couples break up and leave the rest of the world in awe. It’s common to think, “If (insert celebrity couple name here) can’t make it, then I give up all hope on love.
”However, a bunch of celebrity couples are still going strong. Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are one of the couples doing love right—and here are the reasons why.
They are open and honest about their relationship.
The pair has openly talked about their relationship to the press and aren’t afraid to get into the nitty gritty of things, like their technique when it comes to parenting and home life.
“A lot of times, people focus so much on their kids, and then when their kids leave the nest, they look at their spouse or partner like they’re a stranger,” Chris told People in June. “It’s just as important, if not more important, to focus on your relationship with your partner because your children are going to leave one day [and] you have to maintain a relationship that’s going to outlast your child’s needs for you.”
They’re there for one another through thick and thin.
Anyone who pays attention to celebrity news knows that Chris has undergone quite the transformation these past few years. But Anna loved him before he was in tip-top shape, which goes to show their love is more than skin deep. In fact, Pratt told GQ his wife actually liked him better when he was a little chunky. Anna explained why to Redbook, “I just remember being grumpy because there was no food in the house. I love to cook really fattening things like steak and pasta and potatoes.
”They’ve also been there for one another through the birth of their son, Jack, who was born nine weeks early in August 2012, which caused some complications. Chris opened up to Women’s Health about what it’s been like to be a father. “Parenting comes with a lot of fears—some rational, some irrational. Jack, our son, has had a couple of surgeries,” he said. “Those were scary. He just had one recently, and I knew he would be fine because it was a minor thing and he’s had it done before, but you can’t help but get scared when your kid is going under anesthesia.”
They aren’t afraid to have fun.
In case you didn’t know from their various movie and TV roles, both Anna and Chris have a great sense of humor. And they aren’t afraid to make fun of themselves—or each other. Once when Anna was on an episode of Ellen she played a prank on her husband with the talk show host. They told Chris she was getting arrested for indecent exposure with Ellen Degeneres playing the role of the officer.
They’re adorable on social media.
Some celebrities tend to limit what they share with their fans on social media. But Anna and Chris don’t shy away from sharing certain aspects of their lives with fans. They both regularly update their Instagram and Twitter pages with posts ranging from snaps of their adorable son to silly things they’re doing.
They embrace each other’s unique characteristics.
It’s important in a relationship to accept who the other person is. After all, if you can’t be yourself around your significant other, are you really in a happy, accepting relationship? Anna has admitted what first attracted the pair toward one another was none other than their collections of dead bugs. She went on The Late Late Show with James Corden to share the story of how the two first bonded. “I had a bug collection. Dead bugs, humanely harvested. When Chris and I first started dating, he invited me over to his apartment and he had, also, a dead bug collection … I started to cry.”
Anna and Chris seem to have really found each other and we admire that. It’s important to find someone who you can be yourself with, have fun with and connect with on a deep level. We’re glad these two celebs were able to do just that.
