Anna Faris has a new hubby, and not a lot of people know about him. The comedic actress, who starred in hit movies like “Scary Movie” and “The House Bunny,” was previously married to actor Ben Indra from 2004 to 2008 and Chris Pratt from 2009 to 2018. Let’s take a look at all the details of her new husband.
Anna Faris married cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021. Michael was born in Riverside, California in 1970.
The cinematographer said he wanted to get into film in high school, so he didn’t opt to move far from Hollywood. Michael attended UCLA and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in art history, though he also studied photography and painting.
While pursuing his degree, his painting teacher told him to take film classes, according to People Magazine. Michael went on to earn a master’s degree in film from Columbia University.
Michael has exercised his cinematography skills in numerous films throughout his career. A few highlights include “Bobby” and “Supergirl.” He also worked on “CSI: Miami,” where he received an ASC award in 2003 for his work.
Anna and Michael Have an Adorable Love Story
Anna and Michael started dating shortly after they worked together on the set of the 2018 film “Overboard.” Shortly after working together, the pair were spotted in public on dinner dates. This was only a month after Anna and Chris Pratt announced their separation.
People Magazine shared that Anna and Michael were engaged in 2019. However, the two movie-makers didn’t have a lavish wedding.
They actually opted to elope in 2021. The pair were wed in a private courthouse marriage somewhere in the state of Washington.
Fans spotted a ring on Anna’s finger in 2019, though the couple opted to keep their relationship on the down-low. However, their engagement was anything but secret. Friends, family, and even costars knew about their budding love affair.
Anna has said that she has had to learn how to accept love in this relationship, possibly alluding to relationship woes from her past. In a recent interview with People Magazine, the star said that security and spending time together have been hallmarks of her new relationship with Michael.
“We realized early on that we didn’t want to be apart, as so many people have to do in this industry,” said Anna. “And so we really prioritized us getting to be together, which is new for me. […] I’ve normally, in my other marriages spent a lot of time apart. And so I think the feeling of consistent security and safety is now… I really appreciate that, the maturity of it.”
Anna went on to say that they had immediate chemistry and intimacy, likely due to the fact that both of them are introverts in “a very similar way.” We can’t help but feel happy for Anna Faris and her new husband!
