Chris Pratt is called out by fans as he snubs ex-wife Anna Faris in Mother's Day post AGAIN
Chris Pratt has once again upset fans by failing to acknowledge ex-wife Anna Faris on Mother's Day.
The 45-year-old Marvel star was married to the 48-year-old comedic actress from 2009-2018, and they share 12-year-old son Jack.
He is now married to 35-year-old children's book author Katherine Schwarzenegger, with whom he shares daughters Lyla, four, and Eloise, two, and son Ford, six months.
On Sunday he took to Instagram to pay tribute to Katherine, writing in a caption, 'How do moms do it? Seriously. It's like running a circus, a hospital, and a five-star kitchen all at once. Our kids hit the jackpot with you, and so did I. We love you. Happy Mother's Day, Chief!'
But his followers quickly called him out for snubbing Faris, with one writing, 'Where's the tribute to mother of your first child????'
Another person wrote, 'Anna Faris is a mother too.'
Someone else advised, 'Please remember to acknowledge your first child's mother too, you guys may hate each other or don't speak for certain reasons, but you should acknowledge the mother or father of your child. Keep the peace at least for your child's sake.'
And another pressed, 'What about your other baby-mama? Did you walk away from that era of being a father?'
'And where's the photo with the mother of your first child?' a social media user demanded to know.
'Pretty sure there's another woman who is the mother of your other child, the child apparently you didn't even give a damn about,' read another critical comment.
DailyMail.com has contacted a representative for Pratt for comment.
Pratt has similarly posted previous Mother's Day tributes without mention of Faris.
In 2024 he wrote online, 'Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there! Love to my Mom Kathy who set a high bar for her love, patience, humor, and the joy in motherhood.'
'And a special thank you to my darling Katherine for all you do. Witnessing you be a mom to Lyla and Eloise and a stepmom to Jack makes me fall more and more in love with you every day.'
'And where's the photo with the mother of your first child?' a social media user demanded to know
Not all were upset by his post, however, as many joined the comments to defend the father-of-four.
'I have to say people are just weird who actually think that Chris should pay tribute to his ex wife. Get a life!!!!' one person wrote.
Another weighed in, 'Every year, single baby mamas and irksome Karens with nothing interesting in their lives make sure they mark Mother's Day on their calendar. Why? So they can come comment on Chris Pratt's post.'
Chris made headlines in 2021 when he thanked Schwarzenegger for giving birth to 'a beautiful, healthy daughter,' which fans interpreted as a slight in reference to Anna prematurely giving birth in 2014.
The following year, he told Men's Health he 'cried' over the backlash and called it 'f***ed up' as his son may see the comments 'one day.'

A Nazi rebranded as a Space Race hero – but you probably knew that already
Nasa, Nazis and the Space Race (Channel 4) is a strong, if misleadingly titled, one-off documentary. It tells the story of Operation Paperclip, one of the most controversial operations of the 20th century in which 1,600 former Nazi scientists were pardoned at the end of the war and then taken to the USA. There they were recruited to develop rockets, both for weapons and later space flight. In the meantime their reputations and history were conveniently whitewashed in the service of a new moral imperative: defeating the Russians in the space race. The film's title is misleading, however, because it quickly becomes apparent that this is really another chapter in the Wernher von Braun story. Von Braun was a member of the SS who worked under the Nazi regime and developed the V-2 rocket. How and why his past was forgotten and he was allowed to rebrand himself as an all-American hero – a space visionary rather than a war criminal – soon becomes the main point of interest in Nasa, Nazis and the Space Race. You can see why all the iron filings cling to Von Braun: his story is revealing and disconcerting, and here it is very well told. In the age of Netflix documentary series that go on forever and use all the bells and whistles as padding, a straight-down-the-lens history using only expert testimony and archive footage is intellectual balm. Splicing in Super-8 films of can-do, Roger Ramjet America in the 60s makes for great television. Von Braun himself, with his Aryan visage and bizarre helium voice, knew that he was telegenic before the term had even been invented. He cleverly utilised television, including through a Disney family programme called Man and the Moon; reputation veneering was one of his greatest achievements. But in focusing on the WVB story the film also undermines its own footing. The early voiceover promises newly declassified documents and exclusive footage, but by part four it's not clear what here is new. Only those who know nothing of von Braun – how he used to be perceived; how history judges him now – will be surprised at the documentary's conclusion. (That von Braun was allowed to outrun his Nazi past because of his scientific achievements.) And that takes some doing: von Braun crops up time and time again in popular culture, from Apple TV's space race drama For All Mankind to the Sixties satirist Tom Lehrer's song Wernher von Braun ('A man whose allegiance / Is ruled by expedience'). At the same time, here we have author Wayne Biddle on camera reminding us that his book Dark Side of the Moon, which came out in 2009, told us all of this 15 years ago. 'If he [von Braun] survives as a hero it's out of ignorance,' says a slightly tired-of-all-this Biddle. The question, then, is that if the von Braun story is old news, what in Nasa, Nazis and the Space Race is new? The answer is not much. Like re-reading a newspaper, it's an enjoyable, accomplished, but never revelatory way to pass the time.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in PR shake-up as staff members depart team Sussex
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have hired a new communications agency as their PR team undergoes a significant shake-up. Harry and Meghan have turned to US-based Method Communications to promote their business and philanthropic endeavours after several members of their team reportedly departed. Kyle Boulia, their Los Angeles-based deputy press secretary, and Charlie Gipson, who had been serving as the couple's European communications director, are among those who are said to have left the couple, the Mail Online reports. Meredith Maines, the chief communications officer to Harry and Meghan, is overseeing the revamp which she said will swell the ranks of the Sussex PR machine from two members of staff to 'an agency support staff of eight'. She said: 'As the duke and duchess's business and philanthropic interests grow, I have made the strategic decision to move toward a more traditional communications structure of specialist agency support, as previously reported in Forbes and PR Week several weeks ago. 'Transitioning from a team of two to an agency support staff of eight, operating across five different time zones, will give international media and stakeholders better access, and critically, faster response times to inquiries.' The couple's business portfolio include Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever, launched in April this year; their media production company, Archewell Productions; and a multi-project deal with Netflix. Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, announced they were stepping back as working members of the royal family on January 8 2020. The couple have since been at the centre of tensions with other royals, with the duke becoming estranged from his father, the King, and his brother, the Prince of Wales. In a recent television interview, Harry said he 'would love a reconciliation' with the royal family, claiming Charles will not speak to him and expressing concern that he does not know 'how much longer my father has'. In that same BBC interview, Harry complained his loss of a legal challenge over his UK security was a 'stitch-up', adding that he felt 'let down'. Harry and Meghan were told following their departure from the royal family that they would not be able to retain the full-time police protection granted to the royals. The Sussexes would instead receive a 'bespoke' security service, whereby they would be required to give 30 days' notice of any plans to travel to the UK, with each visit being assessed for threat levels and whether protection is needed. Last month, Harry lost his Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the UK and said, in the TV interview following the decision, he 'can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK'. Earlier this month, the duchess posted a video of herself twerking in a bid to bring on labour while pregnant with Princess Lilibet. In the clip, a heavily pregnant Meghan is shown dancing in a hospital room to the Starrkeisha song Baby Momma, alongside the Duke of Sussex. Meghan posted on her Instagram to celebrate Lili's fourth birthday on Wednesday, writing: 'Four years ago today, this also happened. 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates … so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!' The candid video, which runs for more than a minute, also features Harry, who is seen dancing in and out of the frame. The couple were also noticeably absent from the Trooping the Colour parade on Saturday. It is the third year in a row the Sussexes were not present at the event.

Newly-single Hollywood star, 35, reveals she's always ‘psyched up for sex' – & hails famous mum's ‘great t**s'
FIFTY Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson has revealed she's always 'psyched up for sex'. The 35-year-old — who has just split from Coldplay's Chris Martin — also hails movie star mum Melanie Griffith for giving her the confidence to strip on screen. 3 3 3 Promoting her new romantic comedy Materialists, Dakota admitted: 'I don't have to psych myself up for sex scenes. I'm always psyched up for sex! ' Dakota also opened up about her relationship with mother Melanie, 67 — who starred in 1988 hit Working Girl — on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast. Dakota, whose father is Miami Vice star Don Johnson, 75, said: 'My mom raised me to be really, really proud of my body and love my body. 'So I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work because I can use it and it feels real. 'I think it was the way she spoke about it with me. She also talked to me about sex and how precious and important it is.' Dakota added: 'She's a generous person. She's extremely generous. If you said to her, 'I love your shirt', she'd take it off. Mostly because she loves to be naked and has great t*ts.' The end of Dakota and 48-year-old fiancé Chris's eight-year romance was confirmed earlier this month. A source said: 'She wanted her relationship to work and is finding it hard. 'Dakota not only loves Chris, but his two kids, and that loss feels incredibly painful.'
