Anna Faris is reflecting on what went wrong in her previous marriages to Chris Pratt and Ben Indra.

The Mom star, 44, admitted that "competitiveness" was involved in the downfall of her relationships.

"My two other marriages were with actors and I don't think we did a great job of eliminating competitiveness," Faris said on her Unqualified podcast with Gwyneth Paltrow. "Or at least I didn't, being a proud person, and not wanting to reveal vulnerability."

Faris added, "Any hint of competitiveness and comparison, I didn't handle that very well, I don't think. And I hope I've grown from that."

Faris was married to Indra between 2004 to 2008 and Pratt between 2009 to 2018. The actress shares an eight-year-old son with Pratt named Jack.

The star is now engaged to Michael Barrett, the cinematographer from her 2018 film Overboard.

Paltrow also reflected on the problems that led to her divorce from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The pair were married between 2003 to 2016 and share two children together, Moses, 14, and Apple, 16.

"I really, for a long time, was choosing men and trying to work s--t out with them that I had no business trying to do in a romantic relationship. It was work I needed to do myself," Paltrow said.

"In a divorce, I've learned so much from something I wanted least in the world… I never would have wanted to not be married to the father of my kids, theoretically. But I have learned more about myself through that process than I could have imagined."
