Ben Stiller Credits Shared Humor for Marriage’s Resilience Ahead of Parents Documentary’s Apple TV+ Debut

He says he knew early that Christine Taylor was the one.

Overview

  • In a new Wall Street Journal interview, Stiller says a shared sense of humor has been essential to keeping his relationship with Christine Taylor strong through life's ups and downs.
  • He recalls realizing very early that Taylor was "the one," describing the feeling as instinctual and rooted in happiness and fun together.
  • The couple met in 1999, married less than a year later, share two children, separated in 2017, and reunited in 2022, a reconciliation he has said left him especially grateful.
