"We always stayed a family unit," said Taylor. She and Stiller got to know themselves better during their time apart and reunited during the pandemic.
Christine Taylor is sharing details about her and Ben Stiller's decision to separate in 2017 and how they got back together. In May 2017, the couple announced their separation after 17 years of marriage but later rekindled their union. The 51-year-old actress opened up about their relationship to her Wedding Singer costar Drew Barrymore on The Drew Barrymore Show on Tuesday. In the recent episode, she recalled the time when she and Stiller first got together, saying, "We got married very quickly after meeting each other. We knew each other six months, got engaged, married within the year and had (daughter) Ella that next year." She and Stiller, 57, got married in 2000, and they went on to have another child, a son named Quinlin.
As to what led to their separation, she admitted that while "family was always a priority," the two "started to grow in different directions." "When we made the decision to separate, it was not something we wanted to talk publicly about or took lightly," she said. As they learned more about themselves on their own they later came together again during the COVID-19 pandemic. Taylor said, "During that time apart, we got to know who we are...I feel like we needed some time to figure that out." But she stated that she and Stiller continued to co-parent well, adding, "We always stayed a family unit and always continued to do things together."
