Let me tell you a story about Ben Stiller and his wife, Christine Taylor. These two have been through a whirlwind of emotions, and now they're back together, happier than ever. According to insiders, they've put in the work to make their marriage stronger, and Ben has transformed into a family-first kind of guy. He’s no longer the workaholic he once was, and now he's fully committed to making this relationship last a lifetime.
How They Did It
“It wasn’t easy for them to get back on track, but they worked hard to spend quality time together,” an insider exclusively tells Closer. “Ben used to be all about his career, and let’s be honest, he could be a little rough around the edges. But now? He’s calmer, more focused on his family, and completely devoted to Christine and their kids.”At 58 years old, Ben and his 52-year-old wife, Christine, are raising two amazing kids, Ella and Quinlin, born in 2002 and 2005. Recently, they celebrated Ella’s graduation from the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City, marking a proud moment for the entire family.

Putting Family First
“Ben’s still in the business, but he’s learned how to balance his career with family life,” the source adds. “He and Christine have at least one date night a week. They also enjoy game nights with friends, and they love shopping at the farmers market on weekends. Oh, and they prepare all their plant-based meals together. No cell phones are allowed at the dinner table—they’re really committed to being present for each other.”Back Together Again
Ben and Christine initially announced their separation in May 2017 after 17 years of marriage. But in February 2022, Ben confirmed to Esquire that they were back together. Now, they’re finding new ways to keep their romance alive every single day.“When Ben and Christine feel like going on vacation, they just go. And Ben knows better than to bring work along,” the insider shares. “He used to joke about not wanting to renew their vows, but with their 25th anniversary coming up next year, it’s starting to sound like a great idea to him. Sure, Ben might look like the perfect husband now, but trust me, he’s happily in love with Christine and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.”
Last year, Christine opened up about the reasons behind their brief separation and why they decided to reunite.
“Family has always been our top priority, but I think both Ben and I started to grow in different directions,” she revealed during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in March 2023. “We didn’t want to talk publicly about our decision to separate, and it wasn’t something we took lightly. We were at a crossroads, asking ourselves, ‘What’s the best path for us in this chapter of our lives?’ That was going back three or four years.”
During their time apart, the Zoolander star and the Hey Dude actress took the opportunity to reflect on themselves and their relationship.

“That time apart gave us the chance to really understand who we are as individuals,” Christine explained. “Even as adults, we go through growth spurts. We needed that time to figure things out. Throughout it all, though, we stayed a united family.”
