Chris Pratt files for divorce from Anna Faris

Hollywood star Chris Pratt has filed for divorce from actor Anna Faris.

The Guardians of the Galaxy star filed legal documents to end their eight-year marriage over the weekend citing irreconcilable differences, reported E! online.

Faris' response, which was filed simultaneously, reportedly mirrors her ex-husband's filing. She has also asked for joint custody and the right to receive child support.

The separation date is listed as July 13, a month prior to when they publicly announced they were separating.

"Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time, and we're really disappointed," the couple said in a joint statement issued by Pratt on August 6.

The two met on the set of Take Me Home Tonight in 2007 and got engaged a year later before marrying in summer 2009.

Faris is currently dating cinematographer Michael Barrett. The two have been spending time together since September after working on the new film Overboard.
