Actress Anna Faris admits she was blindsided by tabloid reports suggesting her husband Chris Pratt would cheat on her with his new movie co-star Jennifer Lawrence, branding the speculation "weirdly stinging".

Pratt has established himself as a Hollywood hunk after shaping up for 2014 superhero movie Guardians of the Galaxy and this year's box office smash Jurassic World.

Rumours alleged Pratt was attracted to his new Passengers co-star Lawrence.

Faris, who has been married to Pratt since 2009, admits the unfounded claims struck a nerve with her because she never expected her "incredible relationship" to become tabloid gossip, and when it did, it took her by complete surprise.

Faris reveals the cheating speculation was "devastating".

"For us it was like, 'What the heck?' This has been blindsiding to us. It has been weirdly stinging," she told FOX411.

She admits the affair gossip stung a little hard than she thought it would.

"I have always kind of believed that part of the rumours of celebrity couples were sort of true - because they had never been a part of my life. I thought, 'Maybe there is a kernel of truth to that'."

However, Faris is confident her man will never stray as she and Pratt are so dedicated to building a strong family with their two-year-old son Jack, but she does hope he falls for one future leading lady, because she is searching for a project they can work on together.

"I want to do all kinds of things and my husband and I are working toward that goal. We are really hoping to act together in the right project. We are still trying to figure out what that is. But from the day we met, we have been fantasising about it."
