Olivia Munn is silencing rumours she’s dating Chris Pratt with a simple screenshot.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the Newsroom actress was romantically involved with the newly single Pratt, 38 — and that his ex-wife, Anna Faris, was furious.
But today, the 37-year-old actress used her Instagram story to shoot down those rumours to rest by sharing a text exchange between her and Anna Faris that took place on January 4.
“Since we know each other, I wanted to reach out to you personally to tell you the story about me and Chris dating has 0% truth,” Olivia Munn wrote to the 41-year-old actress.
“I’m sure you already know it’s not true, or maybe didn’t care either way, but I just wanted to reach out personally to tell you it’s not true.”
Anna Faris replied, “Oh my god—this town is so f—ing crazy-you are so sweet to text. I love you-having said that if you were my new sister in law I would be thrilled…let’s please catch up soon.”
Olivia explained the text exchange on Instagram, writing to her followers, “Not every woman is scorned and upset after a breakup. Not every woman is ‘furious’ at another woman for dating her ex. So even if I was dating [Pratt], some tabloids got me and [Faris] all wrong. Women respect and love each other a lot more than some people like to think.”
However, making light of the situation she joked about her and Pratt’s hypothetical “horrible celebrity name.”
Anna Faris and Chris Pratt, who share 5-year-old son Jack, announced their separation after eight years of marriage in August 2017.
