"I think it stunted me in a lot of ways," Faris said. "One of them being that I never talked about any issues, so to the people -- even who I was closest to -- I’m sure things were more transparent with my relationship with [first ex-husband] Ben [Indra]."
She continued, "But with Chris, I think that we both protected that imagery even within our close circles."
