AceShowbiz - Chris Pratt and Anna Faris didn't explain the reason behind their split when they announced the sad news on Sunday, August 6. But as in many cases of celebrity couples, busy schedules apparently drifted them apart.
"Anna is a very sweet girl, and it did often seem that the distance between her and Chris - his busy schedule and hers - was hard on her," a source tells PEOPLE. "He was gone on various projects and that's never easy. She always seemed so happy when he was back from filming. I assume it was hard for both of them, with a young child and busy careers, to balance all of that."
Another source chimes in, "Hollywood relationships rarely last and even a couple as relatable and unaffected as Anna Faris and Chris Pratt can still find it difficult to make it work while under the limelight. That being said, I think most were genuinely surprised by the news, I know I was, and wish them and their son the best."
Another source reportedly close to Chris similarly tells HollywoodLife.com, "It pretty much came down to his massive career success, that came out of nowhere, not only for the world but for him; that is the culprit for the break up."
Prior to the split announcement, there had been rumors of tension between the couple over the past year. Anna was reportedly not happy when Chris was away filming and the distance was hard for her to bear. The "Jurassic World" star was recently spotted not wearing his wedding ring in public.
