Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor lit up the red carpet at the 2026 TIME100 Gala, proving their love is as strong as ever. The couple, who share two children—Ella, 24, and Quinlin, 20—made a rare joint appearance at New York City's Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 23.
Christine, 54, dazzled in a strapless blue column gown, complemented by a sparkling blue necklace and matching drop earrings, with her hair flowing freely. Ben, 60, looked sharp in a navy blue suit. The event marked another milestone in their rekindled romance, which blossomed after they reconciled while quarantining together during the pandemic.
Reflecting on their journey, Ben told E! News in October: "You just have to want to be together and want to make it work. I think that's the biggest thing." He emphasized the importance of commitment and valuing the relationship, adding, "I feel really lucky that we got to a place where we could—on both sides—value what we had, and want to make it work."
The couple's separation after 17 years of marriage gave them perspective. In a January 2025 interview with The New York Times, Ben explained: "When we separated, it was just having space to see what our relationship was, what my life felt like when we weren't in that relationship, how much I loved our family unit."
Though they were apart for three to four years, they remained connected. COVID brought them back under the same roof, and after a year of living together with their kids, they decided to rebuild their marriage. "There's nothing like that, when you come back," Ben said. "You have so much more appreciation for what you have, because we know we could not have it."
From father-daughter dates to working together on set, the Stiller-Taylor family continues to inspire fans with their resilience and love.
