Ben Stiller and his wife, Christine Taylor, attended the Project ALS 25th Anniversary Gala on Thursday, October 26 along with their 18-year-old son, Quinlin. Stiller, 57, and his son opted for suits and black dress shoes, while Taylor, 52, looked stylish in a black minidress featuring four white bows. She complemented the outfit with black peep-toe heels and elegant drop earrings.

Taylor, who cohosted the event alongside Stiller, shared with Entertainment Tonight that they intended to present as a unified "team" on stage. "We complement each other," she expressed.

The pair took the opportunity to capture some snapshots with Quinlin on the red carpet during the gala, although their daughter Ella, 21, was noticeably absent. They had previously brought Ella along to the Tribeca Festival in June, where they joined in on the premiere of Taylor's film Let Liv.

Stiller and Taylor, who got married in 2000, announced their separation in 2017. However, they recently shared that they reconciled when Stiller moved back home during the coronavirus pandemic. In an interview with Esquire in February 2022, Stiller expressed their happiness about getting back together, describing it as unexpected and one of the positive outcomes of the pandemic.

After the actor confirmed the duo’s reunion, a source told We that their previous split was “a serious eye-opener” for Stiller.

"He yearned for Christine deeply and despised the thought of their children experiencing a fractured household," the source disclosed. "He actively endeavored to cease fretting over trivial matters and discover ways to redirect his energy, while also finding middle ground with Christine regarding those concerns that ultimately held little significance."

Meanwhile, Taylor subsequently revealed the reasons behind their initial separation.

"We always prioritized family, but Ben and I noticed that we were beginning to evolve in different directions," she revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show in March. "When we made the difficult choice to separate, we decided to handle it privately and with great consideration. We found ourselves at a crossroads, determined to navigate this chapter in our lives together and find the best solution."

The Search Party star further elaborated on how the pandemic played a crucial role in repairing her relationship with Stiller.

"We ended up all together in our house, accompanied by two teenagers, and serendipitously discovered this path," she reminisced. "In the absence of any other disturbances, we were provided ample time to engage in meaningful conversations. … It unfolded naturally."
