Christine Taylor says COVID helped save her marriage to Ben Stiller

Christine Taylor said the COVID-19 pandemic helped save her marriage to Ben Stiller after the couple called it quits nearly 10 years ago. She made the remark on Tuesday’s episode of the “McBride Rewind” podcast: "If there’s a silver lining for us during Covid, that was the little gift." Taylor said the family "all kind of bubbled up together with our kids.

Our daughter was graduating high school at the time, our son was graduating eighth grade. We all were in the house together and we had nothing but time." Stiller and Taylor are parents to two children: Ella, 24, and Quinlin, 20. They devoted "a lot of time" to working on their relationship with a therapist, and Taylor said they "found the way back" to each other.

She added that therapy is something "people don’t love to talk about because it feels like a failure," and that their earlier split came because they "weren’t on the same page with a lot of things." The couple announced their separation in 2017 after 17 years of marriage.
