Christine Taylor and Ben Stiller reconcile at the US Open
There is no denying the joy on the faces of Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor. It was reported on Tuesday that the happy pair was seen in attendance at the U.S. Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York.
While 51-year-old Taylor chose for a black dress and gold jewellery, 56-year-old Stiller donned an open denim shirt over a black T-shirt and matching jeans.
They were seen laughing and smiling as they watched Rafael Nadal of Spain beat Rinky Hijikata of Australia in the opening round of the tournament.
They wed in 2000 but called it quits in 2017. Stiller moved back in with the family during the COVID-19 epidemic, allowing him to spend time with their children Quinlin, 17, and Ella, 20.
Stiller said to GQ in February, “Over the course of time, it evolved,” referring to his relationship with Taylor. “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.”
What changed, according to Stiller, is that “I think we have a respect for the ways that we’re similar and the ways we’re different.”
“I think accepting that, you can really appreciate someone more because you’re not trying to get them to change for you,” he said. “Once you accept that, you save a lot of energy… If you have that trust level with your partner, you know that me saying ‘I don’t like doing that thing’ is not me saying ‘I don’t like you.'”
Stiller: “I’m so happy where I’m at in my life and the fact that we’re even able to be here together doing this right now, all those things are now not taken for granted,” “The whole last few years have been a time for everybody to kind of get in touch with a lot of that.” the author writes.
