“I don’t know how it happened, other than we both wanted it”: on ABC’s “The View,” Ben Stiller reflected Thursday on his incredible reconciliation with his wife Christine Taylor. In 2017, the two actors, like many couples, decided to separate after 17 years of marriage and two children, Ella born in 2022 and Quinlin, born in 2005.
The years go by, everyone does their own life, then “when Covid arrived”, they “reconstituted their home” and the magic happened “I’m just grateful”, he confided, adding that he was not having “good relationship advice to give.” He points out that sometimes getting back together “isn’t the right thing to do,” but “for us, it was.”
An adventure that changed the way they saw their relationship: “Now, every day that we are together, we don’t take it for granted (…) because you know that it could disappear and for me, the gift of our relationship is that We have it every day.”
The actor – who turns 60 at the end of the year – may have been greatly inspired by his family. He said he was working on a documentary about his parents, comedians Jerry Stiller and Anne Maera, now deceased and married for more than six decades.
