Jason Bateman Says He and Sister Justine Keep a Respectful, Low-Contact Relationship

He says their rare catch-ups reflect an adult friendship built on mutual respect, not a rift.

Overview

  • In Esquire’s Winter “Meaning of Life” issue, Bateman said they “don’t see each other a ton” and mentioned plans to meet for lunch next week.
  • He described their talks as rich, adult conversations and noted they do not follow a routine of holiday gatherings with their kids.
  • Bateman emphasized there is no feud, saying they choose to hang out because they respect each other as individuals regardless of family ties.
  • The siblings launched their careers as child actors and later took different paths in Hollywood, a dynamic he echoed in a 2015 podcast about “earning” adult relationships.
  • Coverage notes public scrutiny over their differing political comments, which Justine pushed back on in September by denying any political conflict on X.
