Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are reportedly in couples' therapy weeks after announcing their split

The INSIDER Summary:

• Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are reportedly in couples' counseling.
• While fans are hoping for them to reconcile, they're in therapy for their five-year-old son Jack. 
• The two have remained committed to co-parenting Jack.
• The couple was married for eight years before announcing their shocking split this past month. 

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are reportedly starting couples therapy, but don’t get too excited about the possibilities of a romantic reconciliation. Sadly, this is just part of the process when a couple with kids decides to separate. “They are going through couples counseling now, which is what you do when you want to divorce and there are children involved,” an insider tells People. “It won’t likely change the status [of the relationship], but it could help with their future co-parenting.” Chris and Anna are parents to a five-year-old son, Jack, who they have each vowed to remain committed to after the split.

 Fans were absolutely shocked when the couple revealed on Aug. 6 that they’d be separating after eight years together. In the aftermath of the announcement, HollywoodLife.com learned exclusively that Chris’ newfound successful career and busy work schedule simply took a toll on the relationship, and they just couldn’t make it work any longer. Both stars have remained silent about the breakup, aside from their original social media posts sharing the news. Anna thanked her fans for their support on a recent recording of her podcast, but did not address the split directly.

“[Chris and Anna] have vowed to keep the divorce as amicable as possible and to not bad mouth each other,” an insider told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “Hopefully they can stick with that, for their son’s sake, as well as each other’s. They’re both fully committed to co-parenting and providing Jack with a stable and happy home environment. He’s their number one priority.”

HollywoodLifers, do you think Chris and Anna will ever get back together?
