]]> Chris Pratt and Anna Faris was one of our favorite celebrity couples. Naturally, we joined the rest of the world in sharing our heartbreak at their decision to separate.

However, in true good celebrity form, the two actors (who share a 4-year-old son, Jack) took the high road, putting family first in a joint announcement on social media on August 6.

On Sunday, August 13, Pratt made his first public appearance since the split, accepting a Teen Choice Award for Choice Sci-Fi Movie Actor for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He didn’t touch on his marriage though he did show that he’s in a good place by thanking someone else.

“I would not be here with the ease and grace I have in my heart without my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” he said.

It should come as no surprise that Pratt invoked Christ in his acceptance speech. He’s never been shy about sharing his faith on social media and in 2014 he revealed to People how the birth of his son reaffirmed his hope in a higher power.

“It restored my faith in God, not that it needed to be restored, but it really redefined it,” Pratt said. “The baby was so beautiful to us, and I look back at the photos of him and it must have been jarring for other people to come in and see him, but to us he was so beautiful and perfect.”




Faris made her first post-split remarks on her podcast, Anna Faris is Unqualified. Like Pratt, she didn’t reference her spouse but did express her adoration to her fans.

“I just want to thank you all so much for all the love I’ve been receiving, and I truly love you,” she said.

Later in the episode she shed a little more light on the separation, in a response to a caller’s question about their relationship.

“Life is too short to be in relationships where you feel this isn’t fully right or somebody doesn’t have your back, or somebody doesn’t fully value you,” she said. “Don’t be afraid to feel your independence if things aren’t right.”

“I made that mistake, I think, a little bit, like ‘I’m checking my relationship off the list,’” she continued. “If that would be the final piece of advice I could give you, that would be, ‘Know your worth, know your independence.’”

While we’re sad to see the Pratt-Faris union dissolve, it’s great to know that Jack will continue to be loved by parents who clearly still respect and love one another and find solace in faith.

]]> Is there a more all-American celebrity right now than Chris Pratt?

Not only is the 38-year-old actor’s rise from chubby and lovable TV sidekick to buff box office star is proof that hard work and a winning attitude pays off, but he’s also a devoted family man to his wife, actress Anna Faris, and their son, Jack.

On top of all that, he routinely does charity work, and his social media accounts are beacons of positivity that showcase his good deeds, his love of fishing (and everything outdoors), and his daily adventures with Anna and Jack.

If you need any more proof, check out his recital of the pledge of allegiance alongside his boy in 2015. Prepare to have your heart melted.

Pratt’s living the American dream and every bit worthy of the fame and attention he’s achieved. Let’s take a look at the many ways in which he exemplifies what it means to be a good celebrity!

Family and Faith

In 2009, Pratt wed girlfriend Faris, whom he met two years prior on the set of the comedy Take Me Home Tonight. Three years later the couple welcomed their first child, Jack, who was born nine weeks premature. During the scary ordeal, Pratt turned to prayer for help.

“It restored my faith in God, not that it needed to be restored, but it really redefined it,” Pratt told People in 2014. “The baby was so beautiful to us, and I look back at the photos of him and it must have been jarring for other people to come in and see him, but to us he was so beautiful and perfect.”

As we’ve seen time and time again in Hollywood, marriages between celebrities often fizzle, but the Pratt/Faris union continues to thrive thanks to their grounded lifestyle which includes plenty of nights in together and days exploring outside.

Perhaps the best evidence of his devotion to his family is his willingness to halt his acting career right in the middle of his prime. Despite ties to two movie franchises (Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World), Pratt told Parade magazine in 2016 that he was taking a break.

“I’ve been on the road for 14 months—I did three movies back to back to back—so I’m taking six months off,” he said.

In his downtime, Pratt caught up on one of his favorite pastimes with his little buddy.




Avid Outdoorsman

Pratt’s never shy about sharing his love of fishing on social media and now that his son is four years old, Chris has a new partner in crime.

“Not sure what made me more proud: when Jack insisted on holding this barracuda himself, or when he tried it raw!” Pratt wrote in an Instagram post on June 29. “4 year olds will try anything!” he added.

In another post in January 2016, Pratt revealed that his love of the outdoors began when he was young and it’s something that is embedded in who he is.

“That part of me will never change,” he wrote.

Something else that will never change: his support for men and women in uniform.

Supporting The Troops

Pratt, who played a Navy SEAL in Zero Dark Thirty, is never shy when it comes to his support of both active soldiers and veterans of the military. He and Faris proudly joined the 22 Push-Up Challenge in 2016, a movement which raised awareness for veteran suicide prevention.

This past Memorial Day, Pratt and fellow actor John Krasinski participated in the Murph Challenge, a workout that consists of a one-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air-squats, and another one-mile run in one intense sequence.

The Murph Challenge benefits the Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation, named after a Navy SEAL who died in combat.

Krasinski isn’t the only actor with whom Pratt has teamed for a good deed.

Children’s Hospital Visits

Pratt certainly gets creative when it comes to his charity work. The best example of him thinking outside the box occurred when he and friend Chris Evans placed a bet on Super Bowl XLIX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.

Pratt (a loyal Seahawks fan) and Evans (a die-hard Pats fan) agreed to dress up as their respective Marvel characters in a visit to a children’s hospital in each other’s home state should their team lose.

True to his word, Pratt donned his Star-Lord costume shortly after Seattle’s heartbreaking defeat, visiting an outpatient pediatric cancer treatment center in Boston.

Despite the fact that his team won, Evans proved he was every bit worthy of the Captain America name by returning the favor a month later in a visit to a Seattle hospital dressed as Cap.

Two years later, and Pratt hasn’t slowed down. In May, he and Jurassic World co-star Bryce Dallas Howard took a break from filming the movie’s sequel to swing by Great Ormand Street Children’s Hospital in London.

“I’ll never fail to be moved by the unbreakable spirit of a child. #godisgood Psalm 107:8-9 Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men! For he satisfies the longing soul,” Pratt wrote in an Instagram post.

“He fills the hungry soul with good. No doubt. Today my longing and hungry soul is filled.”

Pratt’s account is filled with the smiling faces of the young lives he’s touched.

On top of his hospital visits, Pratt routinely works with organizations like Omaze and Crowdrise, for unique contests that benefit various charities.

So, is Chris Pratt the most all-American celebrity at the moment? Obviously the answer is purely opinion, but he’s got our vote!

Positive stories like this are what make us tick! We’re always looking for partners that feel the same way about good news!

]]> If you’re active on social media, you’ve probably noticed the #22PushUpChallenge hashtag on your feed. This trend is more than a fitness challenge, it’s an aim to raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention.

The 22 Push-Up Challenge began in order to focus attention on the estimated 22 veterans that commit suicide every day, according to CBS News. That totals 7,400 veterans each year.  

#22Kill hopes to reach a documented 22 million push-ups in order to raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention.




“When the statistics came out that 22 veterans a day were committing suicide it was almost unbelievable. We wanted to find out more where this number came from,” Retired Marine Don Nguyen, deputy director of 22Kill, the foundation behind the challenge, told the news organization.

According to CBS, the Department of Veterans Affairs adjusted the number of suicidal vets from 22 to 20, but that isn’t affecting 22Kill’s mission.

Nguyen said, “We are not going to be done until it is zero. And we are not going to change our name of a new study. What matters is that the number is going down and not up.”

Similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge, which raised $115 million for ALS in 2014, the #22PushUpChallenge is making waves across the celebrity universe. Here are ten Good Celebrities that are taking part in the challenge to raise awareness for the important cause.

Chris Evans

“I didn’t know this,” he said in his Twitter video. “I didn’t know that was happening at that rate. That’s why these challenges are good because it raises awareness and shines a light on issues that need to be addressed.”
