Anna Faris was still married to Chris Pratt when she met her third husband, Michael Barrett. Per Hollywood Life, their paths first crossed in 2017, when Faris starred in the remake of the 1987 romantic comedy “Overboard,” for which Barrett was the director. Pratt and Faris called it quits the same year, and four months after the divorce announcement, Faris was spotted getting cozy with the director.
According to Faris herself, she and Barrett fell head over heels for each other pretty quickly. “We had an immediate kind of intimacy,” she shared with People. “We’re both probably introverts in a very similar way. And he has two children and that has been awesome. I’ve really learned a lot about myself through his kids. It’s been really rewarding.”

Faris’ friends are apparently fond of Barrett, too. A source close to the “Scary Movie” actor told Us Weekly in 2018 that they think the two are a great match. “All of her friends love him. He’s so down-to-earth, stable and obsessed with Anna,” they dished, adding that Faris’ son with Pratt, Jack, approves of Barrett, too. “Michael is great with him and that’s all Anna cares about,” the insider added. “They are doing so well.”
