Ben Stiller and his wife, Christine Taylor, have been married for 23 years and have both been open about the ups and downs of their marriage.

Ben and Christine were recently spotted in public with their daughter Ella Stiller. The trio attended the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival on June 11, 2023.

The actor, his wife, and daughter stunned on the red carpet when they attended the premiere of the short film “Let Live,” which Taylor starred in. The premiere took place at the Village East Cinema in New York City.

Ben was dressed in a simple black suit, and he looked handsome in it. Mother and daughter looked stunning in black mini dresses and peep-toe heels.

An excited Ella shared the trio’s picture on her Instagram story and wrote, “So proud of my mommy!”

Ben’s picture with his wife and daughter was shared online, and people commented about Ella’s and Christine’s appearance. According to one online user, it was hard to tell from the picture which of the two ladies was the mother and who was the daughter.

One online user said that Ella looked “older than her mom,” while another person noted, “At first I didn’t know who was the mom or the daughter! His wife looks STUNNING!!!”

People said Christine hadn’t aged, but Ella looked older. An online user added that Ella “Looks older than her parents! Mom looks amazing.” An individual agreed, “Wow! His wife looks like his daughters sister! She hasn’t aged and still looks like Marsha Brady!.”

“When you look way younger than your daughter,” a person commented about Ella’s and Christine’s appearance. “Christine looks amazing wow!” another person added.

Another person noted that Ella has “her grandmother’s whole face.” More people agreed that Ella looked like Stiller’s mother, Anne Meara. A person pointed out that “Daughter favors Ben’s mother Ann Meara.” An online user commented:

“Nice! Daughter though looks older then her mother!lol! And looks exactly like his mother Anne Meara in her younger days!”

Other people said Ben has a gorgeous family and that they were glad to see the family together because they all “look so good.”

A close source to the pair revealed that when Ben and Christine were separated, “they never even dated other people.”

Ben and Christine have two kids, Ella and Quinlin Dempsey Stiller. The kids have followed in their father’s footsteps because they have both been featured in movies.

In 2008, Ben confessed that his acting skills come in handy in acting. As per the actor, every parent becomes an actor with their kids because they 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 with her dad beside her, who wore a black dapper 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, Ella got a small voice acting part in the animated movie “Megamind.”

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

The “Night At The Museum” star 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 also has a love for basketball. The 17-year-old reportedly sustained an injury from playing basketball in 2022.

Ben and Christine said that family is always a priority to them, and when they started to grow in different directions, they found their way back to each other.

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

According to Christine, the pair experienced growth spurts as adults that pushed them in different directions. They then made 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 at the new chapter in their life.

Five years after their separation, Christine and Ben got back together. Ben announced in 2022 that the two were back together. Before 2022, the duo had been spotted on outings together.

They went to dinner together in Manhattan. The couple and Ella attended the 2018 US Open. Ella, Quinlin, and their parents also went to the 2018 Project ALS Gala.

The 51-year-old 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 happened again 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 close source 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. This insider added that during the pandemic, parenting and family bonding helped bring Christine and Ben together again.

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.
