“I think we both want it,” Stiller said of his reconciliation with Taylor during a Thursday, January 16, appearance on The Scene.
He continued, “In a relationship – we’ve been married for 25 years – you have to work at it. COVID happened and we all ended up in a house with our family. I am grateful. I’m so grateful we’re back together.”
Stiller admitted that sometimes exes shouldn’t get back together because “it’s not the right thing,” but for him and Taylor, “it was the right thing.”
“Now, every day we’re together, we don’t take it for granted. I know I’m not,” gushed the comedian. “Because you know it could go away. That, to me, is the gift (of) our relationship that we have every day. I’m so happy we’re (back together).”
Stiller also talked about his reunion with Taylor in an interview with The New York Times published Saturday, January 11.
Stiller said his marriage was “not in a great place” after moving from California back to New York following release Zoolander 2Stiller’s “blind” flop.
“There was a lot going on,” Stiller said. “When we separated, it was just to have a place to see what our relationship was, how my life felt when we weren’t in that relationship, how much I loved our family unit.”
“It was like three or four years that we weren’t together but we were always in touch. In my mind, I never wanted us to be together,” she continued. “I don’t know where Christine was, you’d have to ask her, but COVID put us all together in the same house.”
In conversation with Drew Barrymore in 2023, Taylor he said the reconciliation during the pandemic was “for us.”
“We got married very quickly,” Taylor recalled of their wedding in 2000. “We’d known each other six months, got engaged. We were married within a year, and then had Ella the next year.”
“I think about us, just life, especially in this business and careers, a lot of work and family was always a priority, but I think Ben and I started to grow in different directions, ” he added.
