"Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating," a message on Pratt's Facebook reads. "We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed. 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. We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another."

The couple, who married in 2009, have a 4-year-old son, Jack.

In May, Pratt starred in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and has a Jurassic World sequel set for 2018. Faris is currently shooting a fifth season of her CBS sitcom Mom.

A rep for Pratt confirmed to Mashable the news and statement are legitimate and not a social media hack.
