While Ella isn't up for any Tonys, she made her off-Broadway debut in last year's Dilaria, a show described as 'snappy, sexy, and pop culture-forward' by the New York Theatre Guide. 

The play followed Ella in the title role of Dilaria, 'a rich, young girl who finds there's nothing more powerful on social media than your classmate dying tragically young,' according to a synopsis on Playbill.

Posing solo, she proved she was making a name for herself outside of her famous family.

Stiller and Taylor wed in 2000, announced their separation in 2017, but found their way back to one another during the COVID-19 pandemic

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.

'We all kind of bubbled up together with our kids. Our daughter was graduating high school at the time, our son was graduation eighth grade. We all were in the house together and we had nothing but time.

'So Ben and I spent a lot of time just working on us with a therapist and we'd log into Zoom and we'd do our therapy sessions and really found the way back,' she said, adding: 'I think it's something people don't love to talk about because it feels like a failure.'

She went on: 'By the way, if the right answer for us was that it didn't work, but we were able to figure that out very clearly and focused, then that's great too.

'Life moves at such a rapid pace that we don't often take the time to just pause and say, "Okay, he looked at his stuff, I looked at my stuff"... long-term marriages are a lot of work.'

Taylor stated that she and Stiller emerged from the tough time 'really stronger and better than ever. And I feel really comfortable talking about it because I think it's really important for people to feel like that's okay.'
