As per PopSugar, Anna Faris said, while talking about her separation from Pratt:

"We'll always have each other and be incredible friends. It's understandable that people seem so invested in our relationship. All I can say about that is it's all true, that we truly adore each other, and we love each other. I think it still comes through. Chris and I are really great friends, and I think that we always will be."

"Imagine spreading everything you care about on a blanket and then tossing the whole thing up in the air,...The process of divorce is about loading that blanket, throwing it up, watching it all spin, and worrying what stuff will break when it lands....I don't think a ten-year marriage constitutes failure," she continued. "That being said, getting a divorce really sucks."
