CHRIS PRATT AND ANNA FARIS ANNOUNCE SPLIT, AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO REACT

 

2016 dealt us a number of heartbreaking celebrity break-ups, from the Brangelina split to the end of Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney’s engagement.

However, it seems none of them hit home quite like the news that Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are going their separate ways.

The couple, who have been married since 2009 and have a 4-year-old son together, announced their relationship was over in a joint statement in the early hours of Monday morning and no one really knows how to react to the news. It appears to have meant quite a bit to legions of complete strangers.

Prominent themes on social media: The introspective "I don't care about celebrity couples, but for some reason I cared about them," and the more bluntly fatalistic "Love is dead."

By the looks of things, a lot of people’s first reaction was heartbreak, particularly given that Chris and Anna had been one of the most relatable couples in Hollywood, with many Twitter users claiming they felt like giving up on romance altogether:

alexis @l3xandthecity: Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are separating and not to be dramatic but whAT IS EVEN THE POINT ANYMORE

dani ? @boldlygaying:  me thinking Chris Pratt and Anna Faris separating is an April fool's prank and then realizing it's August and love is dead

Jay Breeze @DeLaBreezus: "Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by the seperation of Chris Pratt and Anna Faris"

edgelord allan poe @haarleyquin: chris pratt and anna faris are getting a divorce....god, please protect ryan reynolds/blake lively and john legend/chrissy teigen amen

And perhaps this guy said it best ...

Jacob Martindale @Papa_Duck17: Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are splitting up. I've never been more upset for people that I don't know.
