Jason Bateman Says He and Sister Justine Aren’t Estranged, Plan Lunch

In Esquire, he describes infrequent contact as an adult friendship grounded in mutual respect.

Overview

  • The actor said they "don't see each other a ton" and emphasized that the distance is not due to a feud.
  • He characterized their interactions as the kind of "rich conversations" one has with an adult friend.
  • He noted they stay in touch and mentioned he is "seeing her for lunch next week."
  • Justine wrote on X in September that people should stop inventing conflict over politics and warned she would mute or block such messages.
  • Jason previously told Marc Maron in 2015 that adult family relationships must be "earned," acknowledging they were not especially close.
