Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Anna Faris fans have expressed disappointment with Chris Pratt, noting his omission of his ex-wife, who is the mother of his son Jack, from his Mother's Day tribute.

Pratt took to Instagram on Sunday, May 12, to share a series of photos featuring his mom, Kathy Pratt, and his current wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, with whom he shares daughters Lyla Maria and Eloise Christina.

"Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there! Love to my Mom Kathy who set a high bar for her love, patience, humor, and joy in motherhood. And a special thank you my darling Katherine for all you do," he wrote.

He went on to praise his now-wife, writing, "Witnessing you be a mom to Lyla and Eloise and a stepmom to Jack makes me fall more and more in love with you every day. The 24/7 job of scheduling, transporting, loving, nurturing, managing calendars, planning activities, the nutrition, the boundaries, the rules, the patience, the gentleness, the firmness, the wisdom, and grace. It's truly a marvel."

This is the second year in a row where the Guardians of the Galaxy actor left out Faris in his Mother's Day post — and fans were quick to point it out.

"What about your ex wife? She's not included, how sad I lost all respect for you a long time ago," a user wrote in the comments, which garnered almost 600 likes. Another user commented, "Wait a minute where is Ana Farris?"

"And Ana? Don't deserve homage?," someone else said. Another said, "Leaving her out deliberately each time is sort of a weird move though."

Faris and Pratt split in 2017 after 8 years of marriage. Following their divorce, he married Schwarzenegger in 2019.

Although Pratt has not included the Just Friends actress in the post, there doesn't seem to be bad blood on her end. Paris has spoken about her relationship with Pratt and Schwarzenegger.

"We're all getting much closer, and I so appreciate that," the actress said to People in November 2022. "[Schwarzenegger] is just on top of it. I love how she is with Jack."

She continued: "They're very protective of me, and I want to be very protective of them. I so appreciate their support."
