Ben Stiller Details Parenting Struggles, Marriage Reconciliation With Christine Taylor

Ben Stiller has openly discussed the complexities of parenting and maintaining a work-life balance, especially as his children, Ella and Quinlin, are also actors. He reflects on the generational struggles of parenting, acknowledging that he sometimes makes better or worse choices than his late parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. His children have shared that while they understand their father's busy career, it sometimes made them feel overlooked, highlighting the challenges of balancing his multiple professional roles with fatherhood. Stiller also credits humor as the key to his enduring marriage with Christine Taylor, emphasizing their shared laughter and mutual respect, which helped them reconcile after separating in 2017. The couple, married since 2000, reunited in 2022 during the COVID-19 lockdown, which Stiller describes as a period that deepened their appreciation for one another. Beyond family, Stiller continues to work on various projects, including the documentary "Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost," which explores his parents' legacy and his own family experiences.
