Actor Ben Stiller has opened up about his four-year separation from wife Christine Taylor, revealing that they had “space” to figure out if their relationship was working. In a profile with The New York Times, Stiller explained that the decision to separate was made after feeling “a lot going on” following 2016’s Zoolander 2.
Stiller and Taylor started living together again in 2020 due to the pandemic but were still separated. It took almost a year of cohabiting before they decided to reconcile, with Stiller expressing gratitude for their reunion. The couple shares daughter Ella, 22, and son Quinlin, 19.
Christine Taylor previously discussed their relationship on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2023, stating that both partners started growing apart. With the pandemic providing a distraction-free environment, they were able to rekindle their connection and work towards fixing their marriage.
