Ben Stiller's Kids Follow in His Footsteps

Ben and Christine have two kids, Ella and Quinlin Dempsey Stiller. The kids have followed in their father's footsteps, having both featured in movies.

In 2008, Ben confessed that his acting skills come in handy in parenting. Per the actor, every parent becomes an actor with their kids because they are committed fully to their children and want them to be happy. He added:

"…kids love to be told stories, my son especially. So if you can make them laugh, or you can sort of get them into that mode where they're into it then yeah, you use whatever abilities you have. And that's fun."

Ben and Christine's first child, Ella, was born in April 2002. She and her father sometimes grace the red carpet together. In 2022, she was her father's date at the Emmy Awards.

Ella looked stunning in a plunging black dress, escorted by her dad who wore a dapper black suit. The 20-year-old is already on a path to becoming a successful actress.

She is studying at the prestigious Julliard Drama School and has acted in a few projects with her dad. In 2010, she got a small voice acting part in the animated movie "Megamind."

Ella has also been featured in a couple of movies, including the 2014 "Night At Museum: Secret of the Tomb" fantasy-family film featuring her father, and the comedy-mystery film "Hubie Halloween," released in 2020.

Ben said his daughter loves acting and "she's very passionate about it, and she knows what she wants to do. I just want to kind of support her in it in any way I can."

Ben also said he learned about Taylor Swift as he was teaching his daughter how to drive. He revealed that the singer is her daughter's favorite artist. The 57-year-old noted that he became a "total Swiftie" after he learned about Taylor Swift.

Ben and Christine's second child, Quinlin, a boy, was born in July 2005. It is unclear yet if Quinlin will also study acting or drama full-time like his sister.

However, just like Ella, Quinlin lent his voice to "Madagascar 2" and "Megamind" as a kid. In 2021, he was also featured in the rom-com "Locked Down."

Ben revealed that his son loves basketball. The 17-year-old reportedly sustained an injury from playing basketball in 2022.

Family is a priority to Ben and Christine, who found their way back to each other when they started to grow in different directions.

Ben and Christine Separated and Later Reconciled

Ben and Christine knew each other for six months before they got engaged, and were married within a year. After welcoming their two kids and close to two decades together, their marriage unraveled, and they separated in May 2017.

According to Christine, they experienced growth spurts as adults that pushed them in different directions, forcing them to make the decision to separate. "…it was not something we wanted to talk publicly about or took lightly," Christine noted.

The "Zoolander" actress and her husband were at an impasse during their separation time. They asked each other tough questions as they tried to figure out what was best for each of them in the new chapter of their lives.

Five years after their separation, in 2022, Christine and Ben announced their reconciliation. Prior to this, they were already spotted out together, having dinner in Manhattan, attending the 2018 US Open with Ella and gracing 2018 Project ALS Gala with their two kids.

Christine revealed that it was during the pandemic that she and her husband found time to talk, and with no distractions, their love for each other resurfaced organically:

"We always stayed a family unit. So when the pandemic hit… we all ended up in our house together with two teenagers and we found this way back."

Ben also said their time apart made them appreciate each other and respect the ways that they're similar and the ways they're different:

"We were separated and got back together and we're happy about that. It's been really wonderful for all of us. Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic."

A source close to the pair revealed that when Ben and Christine were separated, "they never even dated other people." As per the source, the separation only happened because Ben was busy with his career, and the couple never got to spend much time together.

However, the source noted that even after the separation, the couple always had fun together and enjoyed hanging out, especially during the pandemic, when they had a lot of time to bond as a family.

After their recent appearance with their daughter, online users said it was amazing to see Ben and Christine back together. The two seemed to have resolved their issues and are back to being a happy, loving, and united couple.
