After nearly five years apart, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor have resumed their relationship.
In an interview with Esquire published on Tuesday, the 56-year-old Meet the Parents star said the couple had rekindled their romance.
Stiller and Taylor, 50, thought that it would be best if he moved back in with her and their two children during the early days of the epidemic since it would be the only way he'd be able to see them during the lockdown.
"Then it evolved," he explained to the site. "We were separated and reunited, and we're grateful for it."
"It's been a fantastic experience for all of us. It was unexpected, and it was one of the outcomes of the epidemic."
Stiller and Taylor have two children together: 19-year-old Ella Olivia and 16-year-old Quinlin Dempsey.
"I believe we have an understanding of how we're alike and how we're different. Accepting that, I believe you can appreciate someone more because you aren't trying to force them to change for you. "Stiller went on to talk about how his relationship with Taylor has evolved in the previous two years.
Stiller added: "You save a lot of energy if you accept it.' 'Here is something that works for me, and this is something that does not.' If you and your spouse have that degree of trust, you know that my expressing "I don't enjoy doing that thing" does not mean "I don't like you."
The couple announced their split 17 years after exchanging vows in Kauai, Hawaii, in a joint statement to the press in May 2017.
"We have decided to part out of a great deal of love and respect for one other, as well as the 18 years we spent together as a couple. Our primary focus will be on raising our children as loving parents and best friends. We respectfully request that the media maintain our privacy at this time. "In a statement, Taylor and Stiller stated.
Although they had declared their separation, the couple continued to publicly support one another and their family, attending events with their children and, at one point, holding hands on a trip to see the musical Pretty Woman in 2018.
"It was a lovely family outing. The kids were beaming since they all like going to the theatre, and Ben and Christine appeared to be having a good time together, smiling, laughing, and holding hands, especially at intermission, "a bystander said at the time. "They seemed to enjoy the show and one other's company."
