Christine Taylor Explains Reuniting with Ben Stiller

Christine Taylor has opened up about her years-long separation from husband and what finally led them to give their marriage another chance.

The Brady Bunch Movie actress, 54, left no stone unturned during a recent interview on the McBride Rewind podcast, admitting that phase of her marriage to the Zoolander star was 'challenging.'

'I think at that moment in time for us we weren’t on the same page with a lot of things,' Taylor told host Josh McBride.

'I can talk about it now... but in the moment, I mean, it was very difficult to come to that decision.

'It was not light. It was not without a heavy heart and feeling really, even, dejected at the time of like this is not how I imagined it was going to be and we should have been able to work it out.'

The couple - who s last month - wed in 2000 and had two children, Ella, 24, and Quinlin, 20. They announced their separation in 2017.

'Through it all, we were always in contact. We were co-parenting together. We were spending time together as a family,' Taylor said.

The 'silver lining' of the pandemic acted as a forced pause, allowing them to re-evaluate their relationship.

'If there’s a silver lining for us during Covid, that was the little gift,' Taylor explained.
