The revelation came during the latest episode of her podcast, where she engaged in a candid conversation with Top Chef's Gail Simmons about the dynamics of relationships and friendships.
Casually dropping the bombshell, Faris shared, "My fiancé is right… well he’s now my husband. Yes, we eloped. I’m sorry, honey, I just blurted that out. I can’t say fiancé anymore." The unexpected declaration shed light on the fact that the couple had taken their relationship to the next level in a quiet and intimate ceremony.
Delving into the details of the clandestine affair, Faris disclosed, "It was at a local courthouse up in Washington State. It was great." The choice of a local courthouse seems to reflect the couple's desire for an understated and meaningful union.
Perhaps the most astonishing aspect of this revelation was the fact that Faris and Barrett managed to keep their nuptials under wraps from their families.
Even Faris' interaction with her family afterward was marked by a nonchalant unveiling of her new marital status. She recounted, "We saw my family and it kind of slipped out the same way. My aunt asked me, ‘You are going to be a stepmom. How are you feeling about that?’ and I said, ‘Actually I am a stepmom as of like four days ago, but it was great’."
When asked about the rationale behind their decision to marry in secret, Faris contemplated, "Everything about it just felt right." The choice to eschew a grandiose celebration in favor of an intimate ceremony seems to have resonated deeply with the couple's values and connection.
This marks Anna Faris' second marriage, having previously been wedded to actor Chris Pratt for a nine-year period before their divorce in 2018. As fans process this surprising turn of events, Faris and Barrett's secret courthouse wedding serves as a reminder that love can flourish in the most unexpected and private of moments.
