Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor might be a Hollywood couple, but that doesn’t mean that their relationship is any different from other romances. The two comedic actors have created a beloved following of fans and longtime admirers, having worked together on a number of projects. Over the years, many audiences who love their movies and TV projects have grown more interested in their romance from its inception to their current relationship status. Let’s take a look back at Ben and Christine’s relationship and marriage, and all of its ups and downs, with this comprehensive timeline.
“It hit me out of the blue,” Ben confessed in a 2016 interview with Parade. “We just started hanging out with each other and it developed into, ‘Wow, this feels great. I really like this person. I think I love this person. I really do – I love this person.’” Not long after getting together, Ben and Christine totally took their romance to the next level. The two wed on May 13, 2000 and continued a personal and professional relationship.
Ben and Christine share a number of credits in common and have co-starred quite a few times. The two have appeared together in films Zoolander, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Tropic Thunder, Zoolander 2, and TV series Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Besides collaborating on their many projects, the couple also made their family the number priority in their lives.
In 2002, Christine and Ben welcomed their first child — daughter Ella Olivia Stiller. Three years later, the trio became a family of four with the addition of Ben and Christine’s second child, son Quinlin Dempsey Stiller. The entire family has been spotted out and about on a few occasions, including red carpet film premieres and family gatherings. Sadly, the seemingly united family would undergo a major change under the scrutiny of the spotlight.
Despite appearances that they had one of the strongest marriages in Hollywood, Ben and Christine made the shocking decision to separate in May 2017. “With tremendous love and respect for each other, and the 18 years we spent together as a couple, we have made the decision to separate,” the two shared in a joint statement. “Our priority will continue to be raising our children as devoted parents and the closest of friends. We kindly ask that the media respect our privacy at this time.”
Throughout the fall of 2018, Christine even fielded questions about whether or not the pair would get back together. She did not, however, reveal any such plans. But the former couple’s actions seemingly spoke for themselves during the fall of 2019. On September 22 of that year, Ben and Christine attended the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards together and posed with one another on the red carpet. The twosome were all smiles for the cameras, and they looked quite happy.
The photographs left many fans speculating about their marriage. But in the time since they reunited in September 2019, the two have rarely been spotted together. Christine has, however, worked with her supposed ex within the last year. The actress starred in the 2020 comedy Friendsgiving alongside a slew of comedic actresses like Chelsea Peretti and Kat Dennings. The film happened to be produced by Ben, which means that, despite their personal relationship seemingly up in the air, they are still quite comfortable working together. Something tells us there are more chapters to come for these two.
