News broke that Anna Faris had started dating cinematographer Michael Barrett in October 2017. TMZ reported the pair met on the set of Faris’ movie Overboard and began hanging out more off-set in September of that year. In early November 2019, Faris was first spotted with a giant diamond on her ring finger. Later that month, E! News claimed the actress had seemingly confirmed the news when she and Barrett were stopped by photographers in Los Angeles. When asked how they were doing, she said, “We’re wonderful,” and when the photogs congratulated the pair, she simply said, “Thank you” and that they’re not yet ready for the “big day.” Beyond those brief comments, Faris hasn’t talked explicitly about the proposal or the engagement in any interviews.
Although she’s kept mostly mum, Faris has become more comfortable flashing that diamond. Followers got an eyeful of bling when she shared an Instagram photo with actor Jason Biggs, who was a guest on her Unqualified podcast. It seems Faris is essentially letting her engagement ring speak for itself — without feeling the need to gush over her fiancé publicly or constantly post #ManCrushMonday photos of him on social media. That shows a level of comfort and security in her relationship that doesn’t require external validation, which may explain the perceived secrecy.
That said, she could have at least told her “mom” about it…
