The devastated, the level-headed and the unrelentingly optimistic.

2016 dealt us a number of heartbreaking celebrity break-ups, from the Brangelina split to the end of Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney’s engagement.

However, it seems none of them hit home quite like the news that Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are going their separate ways.

The couple, who have been married since 2009, announced their relationship was over in a joint statement in the early hours of Monday morning (7 August), and no one really knows how to react to the news.

By the looks of things, a lot of people’s first reaction was heartbreak, particularly given that Chris and Anna had been one of the most relatable couples in Hollywood, with many Twitter users claiming they felt like giving up on romance altogether:

Chris Pratt & Anna Faris separating is around 84564 times more life altering than having my own parents separate.

But while plenty of people were mourning the end of one of their favourite celebrity marriage, others pointed out that it was unfair to the two stars involved - and their young son - to claim their break-up signalled the “death of love”:

i'm gonna warn y'all right now not to start talking bad about anna faris and chris pratt. those little angels clearly tried everything pic.twitter.com/N15BSGbOLp

Hey, divorce is really hard. Maybe don't flood Anna Faris & Chris Pratt with "love is dead now." That's kind of a lot of pressure😑

— Briana White (@BriWhite217) August 7, 2017

A thought: maybe, just maybe, Chris Pratt and Anna Ferris' separation will make both their lives better & it doesn't mean "love is dead."

People are not realising that this means Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are getting of of a marriage that had gone bad.

1/2 Not sure why people feel bad for Chris Pratt and Anna Farris. Two adults realizing their relationship isn't working out but handling it

— Jimmy Yang (@MrYang20) August 7, 2017

Maturely is better than forcing themselves to stay in an unhappy and incompatible marriage. Why are we sad?

— Jimmy Yang (@MrYang20) August 7, 2017

And some more optimistic social media users took a far more glass-half-full approach, pointing out the very obvious silver lining in the situation:

Stop weeping for Chris Pratt and Anna Faris and start working on how you can be their rebound lover. We are wasting time.

Yeah, good luck with that, guys.

As recently as last month, the ‘Mom’ actress spoke out about how “weird” she found it when people held Chris and herself up as an example when it came to romance.
