Anna Faris was seen for the first time since eloping in a private courthouse ceremony with Michael Barrett as they both showed off their new wedding rings.
The 44-year-old actress and 51-year-old director were hand-in-hand as they arrived for a departing flight out of LAX Airport in Los Angeles over the weekend after they tied the knot privately in July.
At the travel hub she talked about her decision to elope instead of throwing a ‘big’ event together citing she decided to do so due to her ‘age.’

Anna has been married twice before – to Ben Indra from 2004 to 2008, and to Chris Pratt from 2009 until 2018 – and said she’s been alive long enough that she felt she didn’t ‘necessarily need the whole thing’ when it came to marrying for the third time.
While walking in LAX, she was asked how exciting newlywed life has been for her as she replied: ‘It’s been awesome, we’re really happy.’
And when asked why she and Michael eloped, she added: ‘I think with a little bit of age, you don’t necessarily need the whole thing. [It was] just us.’

It’s been really rewarding.’
The ‘Overboard’ actress said the pair’s blended family spent much of their time in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic travelling the US with their camper van.
She added: ‘We bought a camper van and travelled with a portable printer for school. Jack has been handling this whole thing like a champ. I just feel very happy that my family is safe. And I don’t think I’ve ever been so present.’
