Ben Stiller and Cristine Taylor

Ben Stiller met Christine Taylor while filming Heat Vision and Jack back in 1999, but the series never got to air. The following year, the two tied the knot in Kauai, Hawaii. For the actor, he felt the electricity with their meeting and considered it love at first sight. In an interview in 2007, the actor gushed about how he really grew to admire Taylor and saw her as an overall good person and potential partner for life. The actress also played Stiller’s love interest in Zoolander in 2001.

Their daughter, Ella, was born on April 9, 2002, and grew up to become quite the actress herself. She had since landed roles in some of her father’s films such as Night at the Museum and Megamind. The duo announced their separation on May 26, 2017, less than a year after Stiller announced he had secretly battled prostate cancer. In a charity event in October 2018, Taylor avoided questions about her relationship with Stiller, only telling us, “We are a big family. We have always been together.”
