Los Angeles, Aug 8 (IANS): Actress Jennifer Lawrence has been blamed on social media for actor Chris Pratt's split from actress Anna Faris after eight years of marriage.

As the couple confirmed their separation on Facebook on Sunday, fans took to social media to blame Lawrence, who starred in "Passengers" with Prattin 2016, for the split, reports dailymail.co.uk.

"I can't believe Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are splitting up, this is all Jennifer Lawrence's fault," one fan wrote on Twitter.

Despite there being no suggestion that Lawrence had any involvement in the split, another wrote: "Jennifer Lawrence broke up Chris Pratt's marriage."

"Watch Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence be a thing," another said.
