Fans feel Chris Pratt intentionally shaded ex-wife Anna Faris when he left her out of his Mother’s Day shout-out on Sunday.

“Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there,” the Marvel star – who shares 10-year-old son Jack with the actress – captioned a photo of him with his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, her mother, Maria Shriver, and his mum, Kathy Pratt.

“Especially grateful today for Katherine. You’re a wonderful partner. You’ve provided me such a blessed life. Our two daughters are so lucky to have you,” the actor, 43, said of Lyla, 2, and Eloise, who will turn 1 over the weekend.

Not only did Chris snub 46-year-old Faris – to whom he was married for eight years before the pair decided to divorce in August 2017 – but he also called Katherine, 33, “the best step mama to Jack.”

After gushing over his own mother as well as his mother-in-law, the Guardians of the Galaxy star concluded his post, “And to all of the other moms in my life, I’m so grateful for all you do – thank you so much. Hope you feel celebrated today.”

Internet users did not hold back.

“When he posted this I knew what comments would be like,” one person quipped beneath the upload.

“And ur [sic] other baby mama️? … And the other mother? … What about Jack’s mom?” critics demanded to know, with one calling his lack of “appreciation” for “the one who gave you your first child” plain “gross”.

“Forgot someone …” another noted, with someone else adding, “Happy Mother's Day Ana [sic] Farris [sic].”

“It would not have killed you to acknowledge the mother of your first child by nam[e]‍️ like really!” another dissenter remarked.

“Back at it again with the sh*tty treatment of his first family,” yet another upset user argued.

But Chris’ fans had his back.

“He literally said happy Mother’s Day to ALL of the mothers out there, that includes his ex,” one person commented. “Everyone calm down.”

Another pointed out that Faris “never made a father’s day post about him after they broke up either” and called the outrage a “double standard.”
