Christine Taylor on rekindling marriage with Ben Stiller
End-shutdown
Christine Taylor recently opened up about how she and Ben Stiller revived their marriage in recent years after announcing their separation in 2017.
during an apparition on “The Drew Barrymore Show” On Tuesday, the “Wedding Singer” actress opened up about her relationship journey with Stiller, sharing that the two got engaged after six months of dating and married a year after that. She then explained how their relationship changed over the years.
“Family was always a priority, but I think Ben and I started to grow in different directions,” Taylor said, adding that the decision to separate was not one the couple “took lightly.”
“That separate time for each of us to know who we are… I think we have these growth spurts even as adults,” the actor later said.
Stiller and Taylor, who married in 2000, have two children: a 20-year-old daughter, Ella, and a 17-year-old son, Quinlin.
The couple, who had been living separately after their separation, decided to live together in their family home with their children when the coronavirus pandemic began. Taylor said moving back in together was a “special” moment for the couple and they were able to connect without distractions.
“We found this way back,” he said.
