Ben & Christine’s Marriage & Separation
Stiller and Taylor crossed paths when the latter starred in a TV pilot Stiller produced. He proposed to the Pennsylvania native in November 1997 after breaking off engagements with other people.
The lovebirds wed in May 2000 at an oceanfront residence on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The groom's parents were in attendance at the ceremony.
Stiller and Taylor later welcomed their eldest child, daughter Ella, 21, in April 2002, and their son Quinlin, 18, was born three years later in July 2005 in Los Angeles.
At the time, the mother of two revealed that their daughter seemed to have already caught the acting bug as she took after her famous dad.
However, after 17 years of marriage, Taylor and Stiller announced they were separating in May 2017. They released a joint statement saying that after spending 18 years together, they were parting ways and would continue to prioritize their kids and remain "closest of friends."
In March 2023, Taylor appeared on "The Drew Barrymore Show" and got candid about their split. According to her, she and Stiller grew apart but remained a family unit by participating in activities together, including celebrating birthdays.
But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, the pair had to self-isolate and decided to coop up together. Stiller moved back into their family home, and that time together allowed them to reconcile and become a couple again.
In a February 2022 interview, Stiller spoke about reuniting with Taylor. "We were separated and got back together and we're happy about that. It's been really wonderful for all of us," he said. The famous New York native and the mother of his children have been married for 23 years.
