Christine Taylor on reigniting her romance

After splitting from their 17-year marriage, Christine Taylor has shared how she and Ben Stiller reignited their flame.

Taylor appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show, on Tuesday, and the actor discussed her relationship timeline with Stiller, revealing they were engaged after only six months of dating, and married within a year after that. 

She went on to explain how their relationship unfolded, “Family was always a priority but I think Ben and I both sort of started to grow in different directions,” Taylor said, adding that the decision to separate was not one the couple “took lightly.”

“That time apart for each of us to sort of get to know who we are ... I think we have these growth spurts even as adults,” Taylor continued.

Stiller and Taylor got married in 2000 and share two children, Ella, 20, and Quinlin, 17, with the couple first announcing their separation in 2017.

Taylor shared that the pair, who had been living separately after their divorce, decided to move in together to their family with their children after the COVID-19 pandemic.

She revealed that living together was a “special” time for the couple and that they were able to reconnect without distractions.
