Anna Faris is entering a new phase of her life after deciding to give up alcohol, and she reportedly has the support of her ex-husband Chris Pratt along the way.

The actress recently explained how drinking had begun affecting her mental well-being and why she ultimately felt that stepping away from it was necessary.

The personal change comes during an exciting period in Anna Faris’ career, with new projects bringing her back to the big screen.

Faris recently opened up about the reason she decided alcohol was no longer something she wanted in her life.

During an August appearance on Chelsea Handler’s “Dear Chelsea” podcast, the actress connected her drinking habits with struggles she had been experiencing emotionally.

“It turns out there’s a correlation between drinking and depression, for me, for sure,” Faris explained. She also acknowledged that she eventually realized she needed to make a change rather than continue with behavior that was having a negative effect on her.

“I had to take a step back and not self-sabotage,” she added. Her decision appears to be part of a wider effort to prioritize herself at a time when both her personal life and acting career are moving in a positive direction.

A source told Star Magazine that Faris is feeling optimistic about the future and is eager to continue building momentum professionally. “She’s in a great place and more positive than ever about kicking her Hollywood career up a notch,” the insider said.

Faris has also received encouragement from Pratt, despite their marriage ending several years ago. According to the source, Pratt has remained firmly in her corner as she moves forward without alcohol.

“Chris is very supportive of her on her sobriety journey,” the insider revealed. Although their romantic relationship is long over, their son Jack remains an important connection between them. The former couple welcomed him during their eight-year marriage before announcing their separation in 2017.

The source explained that their shared commitment to their son has helped them maintain a stable relationship since their split.

“They continue to be united by their love for and devotion to their son Jack,” the insider said, adding, “He’s the center of everything for both Anna and Chris, and they have established peace after their divorce.”

Despite having moved on with their separate lives, Faris and Pratt appear to have found a way to continue supporting each other as parents.

The peaceful relationship Faris now shares with Pratt followed a much more difficult period surrounding their separation. Speaking about their highly publicized divorce in a June interview, Faris admitted that dealing with outside attention while processing the end of her marriage was emotionally challenging.

“I was feeling sad. Sad,” she told Variety. While Faris believed she had developed enough resilience to cope with fame over the years, she admitted that being under such intense observation still affected her. “But, f-ck. The scrutiny,” she said while reflecting on that period.

Faris also credited her “Unqualified” podcast with providing solace during the divorce. She initially envisioned the show as a small space where she could communicate with listeners outside the traditional Hollywood environment.

Although she did not publicly reveal everything she was going through, knowing that she had somewhere to speak freely helped her.

“The podcast helped me a lot during that time,” Faris explained. Despite the painful circumstances of their breakup, she and Pratt eventually developed a friendship centered heavily on raising Jack.

Amid getting sober, Faris recently made a major comeback in her acting career with “Scary Movie 6.”

Before returning as Cindy Campbell in the sixth installment, the actress had begun considering the possibility that her years as a major Hollywood performer were winding down.

“I had been coming around to the idea of Hollywood sort of putting me out to pasture. And that was okay,” she told Entertainment Weekly. Instead, an invitation to return to acting that helped establish her career arrived in early 2025.

The opportunity came during an especially emotional time for Faris, shortly after her home was destroyed in the Palisades Fire.

Returning to work helped her reconnect with people who had played an important role in her career. She later described the reunion as meaningful and said she repeatedly expressed her gratitude while filming.

For Faris, the project became much more than just another acting opportunity.

She described making the sixth installment as “a victory” and said reuniting with her former collaborators felt personally healing.

“It’s a really special time in my life. I feel grateful,” she told People about the experience.

With more movies now arriving and a renewed focus on her well-being, Faris appears to be entering another chapter of her career almost when she thought Hollywood might be leaving her behind.
