Those who have been keeping up with the actress surely know that just like many other stars in Hollywood, Faris also had a podcast.

Here's what Faris revealed about how that podcast came to be:

Later on, she clarified that they did get married:

"Yes, we eloped... I'm sorry. I didn't know. I'm sorry, honey. I just blurted that out, but it just feels (like) I can't say fiancé anymore... Thank you, it was awesome. It was great. It was at a local courthouse up in Washington state. It was great."

How Does Anna Faris Feel About Her Divorce From Chris Pratt?

While Faris and Pratt separated in peace, the actress did eventually reveal more details about their relationship and divorce. Here's what the actress said about her experience:

"For me, I think after every breakup, at some point I realize that there were a lot of things I ignored that I really shouldn't have. In hindsight, it felt like my hand was forced. I don't think it was ever an independent decision. I think it stunted me in a lot of ways. One of them being that I never talked about any issues, so to the people, even who I was closest to, I'm sure things were more transparent with my relationship with Ben, but with Chris, I think that we both protected that imagery even within our close circles."
