Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor reconciled following their separation five years ago. The Night at the Museum star revealed that they got back together in an interview with Esquire on February 22.

The relationship was rekindled after the pair decided that it would be best for Stiller if he moved back in with her and their kids during the early days of the pandemic. He said,

“Then, over the course of time, it evolved. We were separated and got back together and we’re happy about that. It’s been really wonderful for all of us. Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic.”

The Tropic Thunder actor also mentioned that he and Taylor have a newfound appreciation for each other. He stated,

“I think we have a respect for the ways that we’re similar and the ways we’re different. And I think accepting that, you can really appreciate someone more because you’re not trying to get them to change for you.”
