Ben Stiller to join New York Knicks in 2026 Met in playoffs
Ben Stiller reflects on the Knicks’ playoff prospects while attending the 2026 Met Gala.
Christine Taylor is reflecting on her difficult but temporary separation from husband Ben Stiller.
The “Brady Bunch Movie” star, 54, opened up on the May 26 episode of his podcast “McBride Rewind” about splitting from Stiller in 2017 and then reconciling years later during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I met Ben when I was 28 years old. I truly feel that kids always have growth spurts and different chapters and stages in their lives, and I think that’s true for adults as well,” she said, adding, “At that moment, we weren’t on the same page about a lot of things,” but “we were trying really hard to fit it in and get it right.”
She added, “Actually, when we zoomed out, I was like, let’s take a break. … It was very difficult to come to that decision at that moment. At that time, my heart was heavy, and I even felt really disappointed, thinking, ‘I never imagined this would happen. I could have worked it out.'” I mean, it was challenging. ”
But Taylor said he and Stiller were “constantly in touch” during their separation. The couple, who married in 2000, have two children, Ella, 24, and Quinlyn, 20.
Stiller, 60, Taylor and their children have been quarantining together during the pandemic, which led to the actors reconciling. Regarding “McBride Rewind,” Taylor said that he and Stiller “put in a lot of time for us” during this period by participating in virtual therapy and ultimately “found a way to get back together.”
“We came out of it really stronger and better than ever,” she said.
Stiller previously opened up about their separation in the 2025 documentary Stiller & Meara: Nothing Lost. The film was directed by the Zoolander actor and focuses on his parents, Jerry Stiller and Ann Mehra. Researching his parents’ marriage led Stiller to research his own marriage.
“When we broke up, my feeling was, ‘Oh, I’m a failure at this, let’s look at my parents,'” Stiller said in the film. “They have had an incredible marriage of over 50 years and I just can’t live up to it.”
Speaking on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2023, Taylor said it was important to spend time apart from Stiller to “find out who we are,” but added that they “always were like family.”
