ANNA Faris has shared some of the reasons why she and husband Chris Pratt split ... and it is has nothing to do with him becoming a big star.

The Scary Movie actress, 40, was giving relationship advice on the podcast My Favourite Murder when she started getting personal.

“Life is too short to be in relationships where you feel this isn’t fully right or somebody doesn’t have your back, or somebody doesn’t fully value you,” she said. “Don’t be afraid to feel your independence if things aren’t right.”

“I made that mistake, I think, a little bit, like ‘I’m checking my relationship off the list’ and if that would be the final piece of advice I could give you, that would be know your worth, know your independence.”

Her words come a day after she thanked fans for their outpouring of love on her Unqualified podcast.

“Hey, dear listeners!” she said. “I just want to thank you all so much for all the love I’ve been receiving, and I truly love you.”

It’s the first comments the Mom star has made following the bombshell August 6 statement that she has separated from her husband of eight years.

“We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed. Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we went to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward. We still love each other and will always cherish our time together,” the couple said in a joint statement.
