Chris Pratt is finally addressing the massive internet backlash he received over a social media post.
If you can recall, back in November 2021 the Jurassic World: Dominion actor took to Instagram to post a photo of him and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger. Along with the photo, he penned a loving tribute to his wife, which read in part:
“Find you somebody that looks at you like that!! You know!?
We met in church. She’s given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter.”
The “healthy daughter” part of his post led to a lot of backlash for Chris due to the fact that he and his ex-wife Anna Paris share a son, Jack, who was born two months early and has faced health struggles.
Now, Chris is opening up on the negative reactions that came his way. In his feature for Men’s Health, he said:
“I said something like, ‘Find someone who looks at you the way my wife looks at me.’ And then I gave her some sh-t in the thing and said, ‘But I love you. I’m so thankful for my wife – she gave me a beautiful, healthy daughter.’
And then a bunch of articles came out and said, ‘That’s so cringeworthy. I can’t believe Chris Pratt would thank her for a healthy daughter when his first child was born premature. That’s such a dig at his ex-wife. And I’m like, ‘That is f-cked up.’”
He went on to reveal that he cried over what happened:
“My son’s gonna read that one day. He’s nine. And it’s etched in digital stone.
It really f-cking bothered me, dude. I cried about it. I was like, ‘I hate that these blessings in my life are – to the people close to me – a real burden..’”
