Anna Faris is getting candid about sobriety, motherhood, and the shifting perspective that has come with stepping back from some of Hollywood’s pressures.

Faris said sobriety has helped her appreciate the little things in life, especially her relationships. With this, the attention has shifted to her motherhood journey with Jack, Anna’s only son, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Chris Pratt. Even though their love story has ended, the former spouses have maintained an amicable co-parenting dynamic.
